Guitar Hero's Drumset (pic)

PoLLisH Hammer · 05-14-2008

Found a pic of the set, I must say it looks better than RockBands, but they had awhile to make it. It will feel more like an actual drum kit now with the upper cymbols.

If it has a good song lineup I will buy it. Also, GH said that they are about to revolutionize their games, wonder what that means?
Enjoy...

Yeah I was reading on IGN they are going to incorporate a way to add your own songs into the game. That is enough for me to revolutionize the guitar hero series and once it is completely confirmed with more info it will deff. be a buy for me. I personally think adding drums to GUITAR HERO is kind of weird though...

They looks odd lmao, and they don't even seem like they can stand unless there is something else that goes on them to keep them standing. They do look better performance wise than Rockband's but they look very odd indeed, like a space station control center.

They do look alot better. Hopefully they have a good lineup!!!! I'm looking forward to this now

The hanging cymbol pads really look like the pads from early electonic drum sets. My buddy has a mid-90s E-Drumkit and his pads look like that. This will be fun though, even though I kinda hate drumming on drock band...

who cares if its guitar hero, drums are badass altho 3 pads i think is kinda wierd

it should be this:

1 snare
3 toms
1 ride cymbal (also can be used as a hi-hat)
1 crash cymbal

also some other things about gh4 if u guys dont know

All songs will be master tracks (no covers)
Create a song feature added
Create a rocker feature added
Guitars are no longer licenced by gibson, they are all custom made now
So far the only announced bands are Linkin Park, Van Halen, Sublime, Dream Theater(OMG)
Everything is going to be wireless

Theres only 2 things that concern me about this game:

1. if there is a create a song feature then dlc will be useless because they can be just created for free
2. If there adding vocals then is that the end to our favorite songs

(cliffs of dover/jordan) and maybe something from john 5 will be impossible (unless there are guitar exclusive songs)

I might actually get this game now

because i wasn't really considering it

Konami is now in the genre as well. They are making a game called Rock Revolution. Its only drums, but supposedly the drum set is super badass.
