Guitar Hero IV's Drum Kit Revealed

The news has been going around for a while now about Guitar Hero IV's full band instruments following the nature of Rock Band. Having the essential instruments to put your own garage band is a bass guitar, a lead guitar, a rythem guitar, a singer, and expecially the drums. Since the 3 guitar roles are almost doable in any guitar model, the important instrument is the drums. We all want to shred the drums and fulfill our rock star dreams.

Activision has revealed their first (not finalized just yet) model of their drums for the upcoming continuation of their number one francise Guitar Hero. The cool and most noticable thing is the 2 symbals above the 3 drums, giving it 5 inputs and still have the bass drum peddle. Having the symbles would definitly make a more realistic experience then the current Rock Band drums.

I feel that Neversoft is on the right track in their design on this but will it be enough for people to actually buy a whole new set of instruments? Let's just hope they release those seperately sold instruments the same time they release the game. I don't know about you guys but I already have the X-plorer and the Les Paul and I might not need another guitar (But I'll probably still buy the next guitar for collection purposes). Or will people go ahead and want the GH drums over the Rock Band drums and just stash away their current Rock Band drums and buy the GH drums?
