Activision invited some celebrity drummers to be seen playing test the Guitar Hero World Tour drum kit, including The Police's Stewart Copeland, Blink 182's Travis Barker, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith (who looks exactly like Will Ferrell). The three talk about the more realistic layout of the new drum controller, and, of course, how awesome drumming is. Surprise! They love Guitar Hero, and they love the new drum kit. Anything to lure kids into drumming before they know how their future bandmates will regard them!
The video is suspiciously light on footage of the three playing the controller, which leads us to think that maybe they all totally busted it. Barker, who can be seen performing motion capture for the game, mentions that on the expert level the drum charts are virtually identical to the real drum sequences in the original songs, which is actually very cool!

Good job, guys, because all drummers are worthless to their bands am I right? Thats so loltastic rite lul? Even better than the lulcats u guize post occasionally!
I've been drumming for a decade and I'm a percussion performance major, and I can tell you that as a musician I am in very high demand and am very valued. I'm sure your job is really hard to do, but can you try and think before you alienate an entire group of musicians based on a video game?
This is going to be the greatest multiplayer game ever created in the history of anything. And from what it seems, our version is only going to slightly gimped from the other Next Gen systems instead of a stupid ass PS2 port.
