Height of World Tor Drum Kit?

I don't know if the RB kit had a height adjustment, but I was wondering if there is any indication of how high you set should be. I think mine's a little too low since my back gets sore from I believe hunching over. In contrast, I don't want the kit too high where it's affecting my accuracy. Any suggestions?

Well everyone has their own perfect height that works best for them. My back gets kind of achy when I play for a long time, too, and I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing. Just kind of adjust the set so that when you are sitting up straight everything feels the most comfortable it can feel. It may feel awkward but I think overall it will help your posture and help you become a better drummers.

The drumset doesn't even go high enough for me. When I know I'll be playing for a long time I gather a bunch of books to raise it up a few inches, but it's a pain in the ass. The cymbals should be able to be raised higher too.

Actually I'm exteremely dissapointed with the drumset all together. I hope they develop an entirely new one.

A good setup is to set the drum set out to where you can comfortably hit the pads without reaching too far or bending your elbows uncomfortably. Set your pad height to where you have to reach very slightly down to comfortably hit the pads. Then set the yellow cymbal a couple of inches above the pads and turn it a bit to the right (to where it's slightly closer to the red pad to make 16th note hats easier). Set the orange cymbal an inch higher than the yellow cymbal and don't turn it (unless it crosstalks). After this, set the bass pedal under the blue pad, maybe an inch off center toward your dominant hand. Once you have it set up like this, simply make minor adjustments to preference. I personally like my orange cymbal very high and yellow very low.

NOTE: I don't own the game, and I've only played it once, but these are a combination of basic setup for the RB drums and basic setup for real drums. I changed it around a bit to match the pad setup in the WT set, so it should be very easy to get used to.

How low can it get? Or can you dissasemble it easily? (just wonder if I can store it under my desk)

I'm not totally sure about height at its lowest point but I would guestimate that the pads are about 2 feet off the ground at the set's lowest height setting.

The pads separate from the base very easily but the pad section itself is pretty bulky for storing under most desks that I know of. HTH.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can only raise the cymbals a few inches? That's what I've heard.
