This has got to be a must have add on.
Assembly: The instructions were easy to read a wend together within minutes (Note: Some force will need to be applied to get wing nuts to catch). I did use a Leatherman to get the sides together so I could tighten it down.
Gameplay: This is going to depend on you. I don't use the yellow one very much, especially in the fast songs, I just find it easier to hit the notes on the normal pads. The blue I do use quite a bit and the green I love. It's so much better than reaching all the way back. Either way the strikes were accurate and no noticeable lag was detected.
I did notice in the game it takes advantage of the extra hardware. You'll notice the green, blue, and yellow pad will be the sounds of drums (as opposed to cymbals or high hats. Either will work in song, but it impressed me that it's able to differentiate the two. I though with the cord it would just duplicate the coordinating pad
