Activision has applied to trademark Drum Hero. Yes, your initial reaction is likely the same as ours: "Wait, how did Activision not do that already?" Good question, but apparently the Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, and Band Hero publisher only applied for the trademark in late October. This does not guarantee a percussion-based Hero title is in the works, but, once again, aren't we all a little surprised one doesn't already exist?
If the inside of your cranium is tickling with the distinct feeling like you have memory of a Drum Hero trademark, the confusion may have to do with the Guitar Villain and Drum Villain trademarks, that were apparently filed back in 2007 -- which is when one would think the Drum Hero trademark would have been filed as well.

This could be pretty amazing if they can get someone like Danny Carey to do something with it seeing that Tool had a pretty big part in World Tour. DJ Hero is def the best rhythm game yet so I'm looking forward to it as they keep getting better.

Drum hero? I thought they made this game already. Wasn't there a giant gorilla named Donkey something in it?

Marching Band was possibly the best thing about high school.

Actually, my first thought was: "They already have that game. It's called Guitar Hero On Tour. Just don't sing/ play the guitar/bass parts and you have Drum Hero. Problem solved.

best part of highschool for me was being a dashingly handsome billionaire in his sexual prime

I'll admit...I MAY have used a little Force Persuade on a few classmates/teachers. But it was always for a good cause.

Butthole Hero starring Andy Dick would be INCREDIBLE.
