We're guessing that of all the tiny plastic instruments you've collected in your den, drum sets are still the most uncommon. Therefore, you may be able to scrounge up a smidgen of enthusiasm for the image above, which depicts the drum peripheral that will come bundled with select versions of Guitar Hero 5 when the game launches this September.
This revelation brings up two interesting points -- first, RedOctane is viciously taking the wind out of the sails of Logitech, who revealed its own cymbal-equipped drum peripheral yesterday at an unwelcoming price point of $229. Second, it looks like the leaked pictures and list of features we received earlier in the month were legit -- and as you surely know, every time a leak is proven legitimate, an angel gets its wings.

If you don't like the pedal in the middle, move it. That's what I do. I generally have it set off to the right of the stand.
The one thing that I like about this set is that it looks like it might come close to being portable. At the very least, the stand looks like it can be disassembled like the RB 1 set to save some space.

I don't like the fact that on expert they keep hi hat charted on the yellow and it's freaking hard to go yellow to red especially on everlong.... Rock Band doesn't look like a set but it plays more like a real set(stay with me here) then Guitar Hero does....
Also don't even get me started on Guitar Hero. It looks like they've redeemed themselves with this setlist for 5

Looks way better than the previous kit, and the bass pedal locked in place will prevent mine from sliding across the carpet while playing; and by lowering the crossbar on the stand, will stop my knee from knocking on it.
Though I will have to re-adjust my playing style as the wiimote being there will be in the way of my playing alot.
