you don't exactly HAVE to have Rock Band 1 even though its good to have. I mean the instruments are the same for both rock bands so the only difference between the 2 is songs that are on the game and the songs available for download
Not on the Original Rock band.-But On Rock Band 2 they Do have a song that come preset"That's What You Get", ParamoreYou can also buy A DLC pack with a couple of Paramore Songs
yes rock band 2 instruments are backwards compatible with rock band 1. this is what i do,answer video game questions(mostly guitar hero and rock band but ill answer any question) and its hard to decide witch questions to answer on these type of website so i created a email just for answering game related question=) it is anythinguitarhero@gmail.com please i want to answer some questions!
Yes also rock band 1 pieces will work for the beetles.

Open up Rock Band 1 and go to options I think or maybe extras. In that column there will be a spot to select Export Songs. Click that and pay the fee and then it will download it to your hard drive. the next time you open Rock Band 2 it will import or you will have to go to extras or options/import. You will get 54 songs(I think) but 3 will not be imported. 1 is run to the hills but you can buy it again in the music store. Hope this helps.
yes, In fact the rock band 1 set is more durable and works better then the Rock Band 2 plastic instruments.
New answer: The cymbals will not work out of the box with the rock band 1 drum set, but there are ways of modifying the RB1 drum set so that they can use the cymbals. See the link below. Old answer: http://www.instructables.com/id/Mod-Rock-Band-2-Cymbals-for-Electronic-Drumset-or-/
No
Yes you can use The rock Band 2 set with Band hero. The Band Hero (Guitar Hero) Drum set has the Orange cymbal, which is one more pad than the rock Band 2 drum set. Fortunately Band Hero Detects that and modifies it songs for the Rock Band 2 Drum Set.
need to know why i can't connect the guitar for rock band 1 for the wii system
You only need 1. It is for the microphone.
You have to do a game update, so you need internet for your console , them the guitar hero drums work on rock band2, rock band 1 game wont work with guitar hero drums but you should be able to buy the export key and transfer the songs onto rock band 2
Nothing. Guitar Hero controllers are not compatible with Rock Band 1. They won't be until Harmonix and Activision have an agreement, then make a patch for it. You need to buy a Rock Band / 2 controller to play it.
if both drumkits are for the wii, then they should work for eachother, if its two different systems then its impossible.
No. Rock Band 1 doesn't have the option of cymbals.
