Rock Band Drum Versions

rock-band-2rock-band-3

I recently purchased Rock Band 3 and would like to upgrade my old Rock Band 1 drums. Is there any difference between the base drum kit for RB2 and RB3?

I know RB3 has a new cymbal kit but I cannot find any information on whether inprovements have been made to the core. It would be cheaper for me to buy used RB2 drums and the RB3 cymbals so I want to know how viable this route is.

Will they work on full pro mode in RB3?

Not really -- the RB2 drums and the RB3 drums are very, very similar. Having owned both I did not see any important differences between the two.

Both RB2 and RB3 drums support the pro cymbal add on, but be advised the RB3 cymbals are substantially better than the RB2 cymbals.

The Rock Band 1 drums are definitely to be avoided, however!
