First look at Guitar Hero IV drum set

[Xbox Fanboy]

Thanks to the Game Informer article that broke all the Guitar Hero IV news recently, comes the first photograph of the game's drum set. And after a quick look over, the biggest difference between it and the Rock Band drum set is the addition of the yellow and orange pie wedged "cymbals" and use of three other drum pads.

Interesting, different and ... well, interesting. We're also informed that the set's durability is top notch as they point out that "this thing is not going to crack". We'll see how durable their drum creation really is after it feels the abusive drumming madness that SuperDunners brings everytime he takes stage. As plastic peripherals shake in fear, we warn you GHIV drums ... be afraid.

This actually looks pretty effin awesome! I like especially like the cymbals. I wish Rock Band's drums were configured more like this.

The cymbals idea is pretty cool. When they say "This things not going to crack", are they implying the rock band peripherals have a tendency to break?

I dunno about the cracking comment. I've got a Rock Band drum set and it's in perfect condition. Admittedly, I play the guitar more than the drums, but they seem pretty sturdy and durable.

Anyone else got drum kit experience willing to chime in?
