My GHWT drum set is a POS

I played drums like 4 times on it. I can bet I can count the # of songs I've played on my fingers. I finished last night and I put the drumstick holder back up and one of them just sunk inside the drum. I looked at it more and as I tried to pull it up the whole thing just fell in. I managed to dig my fingers in and fish it out and I found out the whole thing just snapped off. It's supposed to screw into the flat surface of the drumpad frame and the thing it screwed into literally snapped off so its still screwed in. Is this returnable?

Wow, wtf. I've had my set for 2 weeks and it's BROKEN. Return on Amazon or would it be easier to RMA with Activision? I would hate to pack up something like this. I've heard about RB1/2 doing advanced RMAs where they hold onto your credit card, but it just makes life easier because they basically give you the box to ship back with.

Oh and of course one of my cymbals wasn't sensitive enough so I already ordered a tuning kit but I guess this drum set is crappier than I thought.

I dunno, sounds like bad luck - sure its just a toy set, but mine seems pretty good. Nothing has broken yet, and once I got the tuning kit in, its working awesome.

Personally I'd just return to Amazon for an exchange if you really want the kit, or a refund.

If you RMA you're going to be paying shipping, and it will probably take longer.

I think you actually got lucky. The rest of us got broken drum sets and guitars. I'm on my 3rd guitar but I do like it the best when it is working.

do an advanced rma...they 2 day ship it to you and give you a return label. I had my red pad stop working and the rma process was pretty smooth.

They do that? I know EA does it for RB2, but GHWT? I was googling "rma drum set" and people talk about monthlong return processes. If Red Octane does do advanced RMA I'm so doing that.
