Looking for Rock Band 3 pro deals..

[ItchyD]

I've never played Rock Band before but it's going to be our big Christmas gift this year.

I'm looking for in order of importance (xbox 360 versions):
-Rock Band 3
-Pro Keyboard
-Drums (regular?)
-Microphone(s?)
-Pro Guitar (button guitar with strings not the real real guitar)

Are the pro cymbals compatible with all drums or just a newer type?

Is there a set of drums that is recommended because it seems like there is 100 types of drums on amazon?

Any good bundles or black friday deals would be appreciated thanks!!!!!

-Pro Keyboard
Get the keyboard game/software bundle will save you at least $10
-Drums (regular?)
Any Rock band 2 or newer set has the colored ports for the cymbals.
-Microphone(s?)
Buy Lips w/ 2 wireless mics from Amazon for around $25 (I think) but, any USB mic from any music game will work

Just get rock band 2 drums, beatles drums (in limited edition bundle, NOT special value bundle), or the new pro set that includes the pro cymbals for about $130. Don't get rock band 1 or guitar/band hero drums.

The pro guitar is a niche item, and once that niche is filled, I have a feeling it will be an Amazon deal of the day. I'll either get it then, or get that nice Squire.
