or
Officially licensed by Microsoft and HarmonixCompatible with Rock Band Rivals game softwareCompatible with Rock Band 3 Midi PRO-Adapter for Xbox 360 and the ION Drum Rocker for Xbox 360.
Specs:
| Release date | November 2016 |
$300? There is a used one on Amazon for $800.
Honestly, it's fucking sick, because that's just preventing people who want to start/keep playing - and buying DLC to support continuation - from actually doing so. I feel like not only is the lack of hardware slowly killing the game, but we're also part of the problem by screwing over the community. I'd likely pick up an X1 and get rolling if it weren't for the PDP wired debacle.
That being said, dude gets nearly $1k for a $10 item, more power to 'em, I guess.
(PS3 Adapter only works on Rock Band 4 in-game on PS4)
Other info:
For Nitro (if you go with it) the in-game notes Ride & Crash (Blue and Green cymbals) will be reversed. Not to worry the manual has guide on how to change them without just swapping cables.

and for those interested, pay attention to the amazon warehouse deals for this. this is their most popular e-kit, so a lot of them show up as used, with various issues, but mostly cosmetic ones.
the kit I ordered was $240 and listed as 'good' condition. they claimed the kit would have multiple minor blemishes, but outside of the box having a few dents, the kit appeared to be in pristine condition. (but ymmv)
it may seem like a good jump from the roughly $140 you'd pay for the stock kit with cymbals, but you end up getting a fully customizable kit you can setup in whatever way you want, and you have something that is actually build to be beat on.
also remember you'll need to buy the madcatz midi pro adapter (~$25) to get this working, and xbox users need to get the upcoming pdp adapter to get it to work with rb4. ($30) since I saved $60 on the set like I mentioned above, this sort of made the adapters free.
EDIT: amazon has a musical instrument promotion right now. MISAVE10 gets you 10% off this kit. not sure how long it'll last.
Any ekit with a midi-out port on the brain will work with the Midi Pro Adapter. The hitch is that many of the more inexpensive ekits have "midi-via-usb" ports that require a program running on a computer to convert the ekit's output to an input the Midi Pro Adapter can accept. If your midi-out port looks like this, you're good.
Once you have an ekit plugged into the MPA, it's as simple as setting the corresponding midi notes for a Rock Band config.
Also, if you're on Xbox One, you need the ridiculously expensive out-of-print legacy wired controller adapter to play with RB4. PS4 doesn't have this issue and can use the PS3 MPA just fine.
That legacy adapter you linked is for wireless instruments. The Midi adapter is wired and can only be used with this:
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483609772&sr=8-1&keywords=pdp+legacy+adapter
However, it is sold out, has been for as long as it's been out I think, and they're not making them anymore.
It has to pass through the midi interface before it can pass through usb. For that you need the xbox one legacy adapter and xbox 360 midi adapter. (Xbox one legacy adapters were made and sold in short supply and they probably won't come back. If you don't already have one then you should try playing your kit on rock band 3. You can get custom drum songs there too.)
Then you have to set your kit's pads and cymbals to the correct midi notes (using the drum brain), which is how Rock Band knows what gem you're trying to hit. Those numbers are in the manual for the midi adapter
Just to be clear this (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) is the PDP adapter. It only works with the MPA and Ions. Madcatz also made a legacy adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ) that only works with wireless instruments. The RB3 stock kit works with the Madcatz one, not PDP. Just want to make sure you have the right adapter before getting a new kit :)
Should use the link that goes to the correct price instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDJWJH9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
This is correct. I bought these two from Amazon US:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00409SOD2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDJWJH9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And this cable from UK:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EYB8KC6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The MIDI adapter came all sticky like it was covered in glue (despite being packaged as new), which seems common in the reviews which is a bit annoying, but since it came from the US( I'm in the UK) I couldn't be bothered returning it; works perfectly!
It depends if you're playing on the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One.
If you're playing on the Xbox 360, you don't need the receiver.
If you're playing on the Xbox One, you need a different receiver, which is super hard to find, this wired PDP Adatper:
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9
The receiver you linked is for using wireless Xbox 360 instruments on the Xbox One.
With respect to Xbox 360 instruments working on the Xbox One, you are thinking of the Mad Catz Legacy Game Adapter. You can get one here.
https://www.amazon.com/Mad-Catz-Rock-Band-Controller/dp/B01541ACLQ
Rock Band 4 (physical game disc) for the Xbox One previously came with said adapter but the original Rock Band 4 Band in the Box bundle for the Xbox One did not.
Nowadays, it is wise, as you said to buy Rock Band Rivals. That is an expansion to Rock Band 4 which contains a Rivals competitive mode and Rockudrama, a VH1-like storytelling career mode (separate from the existing Tour Mode already in Rock Band 4). You can purchase a digital copy of Rock Band 4 along with the Rivals expansion on the Xbox store (IIRC $60), or you can purchase different Rock Band Rivals bundles, including one with just a guitar and the game (along with the expansion) or one with a microphone, drum set, and the game (along with the expansion).
There is one more caveat though, and that's with the Legacy Adapter. The Legacy adapter only supports wireless instruments, and for the Xbox One, there currently isn't a way to use wired Xbox 360 instruments for the Xbox One. This includes Guitar Hero controllers like the Gibson Xplorer (Guitar Hero 2), and the Rock Band 1 instruments. However, the ION Drum Rocker and the Mad Catz MIDI Pro Adapter is now compatible with the Xbox One using the following adapter. This is important for really high-level drummers.
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=pd_sim_63_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01MDJWJH9&pd_rd_r=V85A4CRWGYH39RCM59NX&pd_rd_w=P0QWw&pd_rd_wg=WISBa&psc=1&refRID=V85A4CRWGYH39RCM59NX
Therefore, if you wish to go the Xbox 360 route, you would have to buy the Legacy Adapter (first link), the Rock Band Rivals game (likely digitally), and then you can buy your 360 instruments. Otherwise, a full band bundle would also work. You can also combine legacy instruments and Xbox One instruments as well, although from experience the latency between them is different so you may run into issues here.
I hope this helps.
On Xbone, you also need the wired legacy adapter for the MPA to work. On PS4, the MPA works directly.
You need the Midi Pro Adapter and PDP Wired Adapter. Currently 6 left at $29.99. Check under New. Don't buy from the scalper at $79.99.

Yes, but I want to offer a specific detail about this that angers some people.
You can only be signed into one account per wireless legacy adapter and the wired legacy adapter only supports one controller anyway.
That is important if you have a sibling, significant other, or anyone else who wants to be on a different account at the same time with different Xbox 360 instruments. Only one of you can earn achievements, contribute xp, etc.

Someone selling on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01MDJWJH9/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new tell your friends if they are willing to buy.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01MDJWJH9/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new
That’s your best option I’m afraid.
Yes that will also work, but you will additionally need the PDP Wired Legacy Adapter to connect the MIDI adapter to the XB1. There is a list of supported drums on the Amazon page for the MIDI adapter, and the same list is in the manual. But that list is old, and almost everything on it has been replaced with a newer version. Pretty much any drum kit with a standard 5-pin MIDI out should be fine.
Edit - Link to PDP adapter: https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9
To get that to work, you need this and this so it only works on the Xbox One version. You can also use a second bass pedal with the stock kit if you want, though none of the current supported songs have fully charted double bass.
Not the midi adapter those are still priced appropriately and are still available. I'm talking about the "Wired Legacy Adapter".

> wired adapter
well really i mean they have this wired adapter https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1483035607&sr=1-1&keywords=rock+band+4+wired+adapter
If you're from the US, it seems like the cheapest option right now is to buy the Rock Band 4 Rivals Jaguar Bundle (Found here) and then buy the PDP Wired Legacy Adapter to use your electronic kit (Found here , but it seems to be out of stock currently).
Even if you don't play guitar, the bundle seems to be the cheapest way to buy the game for Xbox One currently, as there doesn't seem to be a standalone disc version of RB4 for Xbox One (closest there is comes with the Wireless Legacy Game Controller)
You need an adapter. https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9 I bought mine for $30 and use my electric set.
