Rock Revolution's Drum Kit Revealed; Looks a Bit Difficult
Posted by Jonathan on Friday, May 16th, 2008 at 4:56 pm under Uncategorized
Obviously, if you’re going to make a new rhythm game, you have to make it stand out a bit from the rest. So how does Konami plan to do this for their upcoming Rock Revolution? Well, for one, they recently revealed the most complicated fake drum set out there. The drum kit for Rock Revolution will feature six plates to bang on, plus a kick pedal, for a grand total of seven different buttons you’ll have to keep track of. Personally, I’m terrible at the drums on Rock Band, which has a now-measly four pads and a kick pedal, so the idea of three extra things to worry about isn’t exactly a selling point for me. Well, that and the fact that I’ve already got two rhythm games in my house, and I really don’t need anymore damn peripherals.

I'm sure there will be an easy difficulty setting that only uses 2-3 pads so no worries there.
I for one am excited because clearly this kit is actually designed based on what a real kit looks like. Snare/hi-hat in central prominence is a major upgrade. Could use one more tom though.
