Konami vs Topway Drummania controllers

[Bosstone]

Is it worth the money you save buying a topway? I'm trying to decide if i should buy the Konami drummania controller over the topway, but i was wanting to hear what some topway owners had to say about their controller, the money saved would be really nice but i don't want to be constantly pissed at my controller and end up buying a konami one anyways.

I don't have a Konami drum controller, so I can't say for the Konami drum controller, but I do have a Topway controller.
The sensors works decently for the main part of the controller.
However, he bass pedal for the operates like a sewing machine foot pedal, and the pedal broke too easily. So it's Autobass for me from now on.
If you want better quality, then you might want to save your money for the Konami controller.

no it isnt

topway is insensitive, the pads feel like they are made of chewing gum and car tires, and it smells pretty bad.

I've heard a lot of people say it smells bad, actually >>;;

I have a KOC and it works greeeat, I'm beating ~85s on it after less than a month.

Topway is fine, it somes with a stand,, the pedal was a piece of shit, but I plugged in a beatmania pedal and it works fine now. Also the drums work like a normal CS drum set would work, there is nothin wrong with it.

A beatmania pedal?

I thought we had a thread on this before? *shurgs... Anyway I have the KOC one and I seriously can't get used to it. The way it's positioned is really poor. Not to mention if you miss the pads while playing, you'll end up hitting the plastic which makes a really loud sound and it can get annoying if you live in a apartment/dorm or have your parents yell at you for banging on the thing too loud. I usually play in the daytime to avoid the yelling.

In the end, your best bet is to settle with the KOC. Try to find a stand that's suitable for the controller because it doesn't come with it. I use my piano chair along with some books to make a decent stand. I autobass myself because the foot pedal just doesn't cut it for me. Hope this will help make your decision.

Don't listen to people the bass pedal is fine, I just about have an A on Wonderful Workers and Family Restaurant bomber, pretty sure I have an A on ROLLING1000tOON, and I never ever autobass.

You just have to kind of have your foot further forward on it than you'd think, so gap between the ball of your foot and toes is like, on that little bar of plastic and the ball f your foot is hitting the top of the sensor.

It smells bad.
The bass pedal is crap.
But the other pads are decent.
Overall it's pretty alright for the price.
