For the first time in the series, players will be able to use a specially created set of drums with their Guitar Hero 4 game. In a bid to take on the other musical smash hit Rock Band, Red Octane have launched their own drum kit peripheral to add an extra dose of versatility to the highly anticipated game that releases later this year. The design of the GH4 controller looks like a straight lift-off of the Rock Band set, with the only obvious distinction being that their set only uses three drum pads along with two cymbals and a foot pedal. The thing looks sleek enough as a start-up set, but I have yet to see this miserable-looking drum controller evoke any semblance of passion in even the most ardent GH fans. Maybe we’ll have a clear view of things when the drum set is actually revealed to us later this year.
