Unlike Rock Band’s white set, the drum set for Guitar Hero: World Tour sports the darker look, three drums, a kick pedal, and two cymbals. You can see where you insert the upside down Wii Remote. The drum pads are slightly larger than Rock Band’s, and reportedly much softer. Listen, what’s that? That’s the sound of parents everywhere, cheering.

Now maybe I’m just picky, but is it really that hard to more accurately mimic a drum set? Take that left drum and drop it so it sits between the knees, add a third cymbal on the left with a pedal directly below for the hi-hat, and you’ve got yourself a basic set. Optional floor tom sold separately. Is it that hard?

Anyway, more World Tour pics after the break in our usual gallery.
