What is Digg?108 Comments
- DBVII, on 10/11/2007, -3/+93This is not an official picture. If you have the magazine, it even states that the pic is only an inside rendering of what the staff remembered from their time with the set.
- Bahimiron, on 10/11/2007, -4/+70It's cool that some douchebag blogs scans from a magazine, doesn't credit the magazine and then it makes the front page of Digg.
- Shaman760, on 10/11/2007, -4/+45Being a professional drummer, I am shaking in my boots at the possibility of drunken party goers coming up to me on my gig and saying "Lemme play- I play rockband drums"....
/sarcasm - rglover, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21This is going to be expensive.
- stealth45, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21Chances are its pretty close to the real thing.
- MCHampster, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Needs more cowbell.
No seriously, that would rule. - nhinsch, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16Where are the cymbals?

- FlyinWhee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15There has been previous drum games, and I feel kind of let down by having only 4 pads, when Drum Mania had 5.
And the Guitar is looking very much like the real thing, the drum looks weird compared to it. Should still be a blast to play, but it looks weird nonetheless. - Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10The foot pedal counts as a drum pad. It's your bass drum.
- answer42, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Its from Game Informer
- frickindeal, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8You do realize that they make electronic drum sets right? They're virtually silent when played and all you have to do is plug in headphones. If your neighbors can tolerate a practice pad, they can tolerate those and you can get your drum fix without disturbing anyone.
- koolkluxklan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8The only thing im not looking forward to about this game is the price tag.
- juicebag, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6But I'd imagine if you get really good at drums in Rockband, it would be much easier to learn the real thing.
- PugFish, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'm sure guitarists thought the exact same thing when they first saw the guitars, and look how that turned out
- CocoaPuffs23, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8I really like guitar hero, but this is getting ridiculous. I mean come on! Why shell out the 200 dollars for all that *****? You could buy a real instrument (okay a real crappy instrument) for that much. I just hope people dont take themselves seriously on this stupid game.
- xspinkickx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7what no double kicks, how do you play metal?
- stickywheelz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Biggest difference between this game and real instruments.
This game will not get you laid. - Mikecol, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5You do realize electronic drum sets are MUCH more expensive than a video game, right?
- craterburnsu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4For anyone saying people should just go out and learn and instrument: People don't always want to dedicate time to something, GH/RockBand isn't about learning the instrument, everyone knows that, No one honestly things they can play guitar after playing GH2 on expert (though, it will strengthen the finger, which could help). People want to have FUN. I play guitar, and it is fun as well, but GH is fun in a different way.
- blacklilyninja, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4this game has serious drum lesson potential. I mean all jazz drummers start out with a practice pad learning to read the music sheets. Think of it like Mavis Drum Instructor. In fact with a proper kit setup it's be better than the garage band lessons of "learning as you gig". Some of the kids who can play ffr and ddr very well have a natural affinity for drumming so why not exploit the game engine and put lessons out there for those who want it.
- jongarber, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Its an artists rendition. It says in the bottom left of the picture.
- kingfoot, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Yeah, I have that magazine, it says in the caption the it is a 3d model based on what they remember seeing when they went to the office to test it.
- specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Someone broke their sarcasm meter....
- rwood757, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I'm happy it isn't air drums
- jotatmo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Did you notice how almost everyone who posted on that page had the weird doll as their picture? Kinda creepy...
- bondfreak05, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4So.. the Xbox 360 GH Controller will be compatable.. what about the DK Bongo Drums?
=] - EvilCan, on 02/26/2008, -0/+3*cries at the amount of money that is going to be spent on this game*
- napsack, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Please enlighten us on how you spend your glorious money.
- TheLostChild1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Exactly, Artists Rendition. I'll wait for some "OFFICIAL" pictures :)
- vawksel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2That's what this game does for you. It teaches you basic rhythm in a way that is more likely to keep you playing.
How many of us have picked up some kind of instrument (even after buying it), and quit quickly because it's "Boring" ?...
I think Guitar Hero, and adding Drums is huge. - ijustam, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6Oh my various gods.
I hadn't thought of that. I'm a drummer myself and the thought of that makes me want to vomit. - cptn_cardboard, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2thats actually the distortion petal for the drums

- jdmCrush, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I don't get it. what's so special about this one?
I expected some over-the-top drumset with 30 pieces to it... - sunshinemonster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2my friend has a pretty nice electronic drum set, it's really cool. besides being able to turn down the volume or wear headphones like frickindeal said, you can also mess with some synthesizer programs if you get a nice one, it's deffinately worth the money.
- narcosis219, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Those drums look like crap.
I was so hyped for this game, I was gonna buy it first day, but now that I've seen what the drums are going to roughly look like... no thanks.
4 pads. Snare furthest on the left?? Unless you're a lefty that's going to be a problem because the high hat is to the right of the pad. If I read correctly, they say that it's going to double as a tom as well.. A TOM?? WHAT THE *****?? The same pad for high sounds that you hit almost every beat CANNOT double for a low sound that doesn't get hit as much. And where the hell are the cymbals?? They could have AT LEAST made it represent a beginner's drum set. As a drummer I am offended... - blocguy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm a drummer too, and I was actually looking forward to this game. I mean, in theory, I could just hop on and kick ultimate ass on the game as a drummer. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be using any kind of standard rock drum kit layout, so I'd have to learn it all again.
Saying that, if I want to play drums, then I just got a kit downstairs anyway. I suppose this will be a lot easier for people to pick up who have never touched a drum kit in their life. - Prod_Deity, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Along that line.... where's the other bass pedal for those really hard rocking songs?
- PunkRockRalph, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2its simple-
you cant rock out with your bros online. and a real drumset takes talent to learn. - babylonian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You can even see underneath the picture of the drums:
"This isn't an exact representation of the drum set - Harmonix shoud reveal the final design soon. We crafted this picture from memory based on the time we played with the prototype." - aserer511, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1if i ever have a 360, i'll get this with the drum kit....
- bondfreak05, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1oh *****. i forgot to close my sarcasm tag..
- proghead, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1this is digg remember?
i also don't think its legal to download the entire discography of a band via bittorrent either... - TheNik, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Heel-toe pedals? Knowing the translation of guitar solos in real songs to guitar hero, the drum portion will probably require needless difficulty - like just tapping the bass pedal infinity times on one foot. :(
- Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Then the problem lies within the program itself. They'd have to change the UI from 5 buttons onscreen to 6 to accommodate for the extra trigger.
- xspinkickx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1well I know really, really, really, good drummers can do one footed blast beats, but not every one is George Kollias (nile), or Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal), amongst a few drummers who can do this.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1no1 asked for your life story...
we dont care about your friend, his pc, or his grandma! - djs1117, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1GH guitars are set up the same way as real guitars would be, but I don't think I've ever seen an actual drum set set up like that. Hopefully you can choose how you want them to be set up.
