Premium Rock Band 2 Drum Kit Surfaces: ‘Badass’ Is The Word You’re Looking For

I play Rock Band like a champ, and when I’m with my crew I’m usually on drums. I’m a drummer, and I love playing them, and the included drum controller always seemed just fine to me. Kotaku found this photo of the premium Rock Band 2 kit and I’ve decided I must have it. UPDATE: OK, so this kit doesn’t ship with Rock Band 2, it’s a US$300 optional purchase.



Instead of just four heads, the badass looking kit gives you four heads, hi hat, crash, and ride cymbals. This kit, which will come with Rock Band 2 certainly beats the Guitar Hero: World Tour offering, but it also signals something unusual: the start of a music games arms war. I hope they bring it hard.

    I cant wiat for this new addition to the rock band world, just looking at it I can tell it is going to be much better than the original rock band set. I also heard that it doubles as an elctronic set wich would be kickass : )

    It looks like the colours of the cymbals/hi-hat/whatever are the same as the yellow, green and blue drum pads. Maybe they’re not essential to gameplay, but you can use them if you want?

    i would rather learn the real drums than pay that much.

    Drew: you’d spend more on a real drum kit.
