The above Guitar Hero World Tour (the official GHIV title) video shows off the new drum set through testimonial from a few rockers – namely, Red Hot Chili Pepper's Chad Smith, Blink 182's Travis Barker and The Police's Stewart Copeland, all of whom are featured prominently (especially Copeland) on Rock Band and a pretty good sign they'll be on World Tour, too.

One interesting detail gleaned from the video is that the drum kit is sensitive to velocity, meaning it can register how hard or soft you hit the pads. We're not shown any gameplay footage so we're not 100% sure how that'll translate to the virtual drumming. All we know is that we can't tell our friends this detail. It's taken us months to teach them not to bang on the set loud enough to wake neighbors six miles away.

Why are they still calling it guitar hero when its got drums now too.

I still think these games would be improved enormously if they added a cowbell

Holy Sh@#. I've played drums since I was 14, I'm a big fan of guitar hero and now this. I will never leave the house (if in fact it's as realistic as they say it is).

The downside is, this will probably be a huge letdown in the realistic category, because like Rock Star which I've sat down in wal-mart and played the drums to, it's nothing at all like playing drums. The placement of the pads, the feel, everything is wrong. Looking at that video, I highly doubt this will be much better. I was hoping the video would have shown Chad Smith playing the prototype.
