We’ve known that Guitar Hero will be cramping Rock Band‘s style a bit by adding things like a drum set and microphone for a while now but we didn’t really know exactly what direction Guitar Hero 4 would be going, in terms of peripherals.

Well for the first time we get a glimpse at the drum set that will be featured in Guitar Hero 4, come its release later this year. While basically the same as the Rockband set, the thing that sets it apart is the two cymbals, and the number of drum pads being reduced from 4 to 3.

This will definitely get mixed reactions because, the game is called Guitar Hero and not to mention that you’ll have to buy all new instruments. Oh wallet, how sorry I am.
