Why have they changed the order of the colours on the drum peripheral?

If they stuck with Green/Red/Yellow/Blue/Orange order then it would make sense to those of us used to the order of colours for the guitar?

Yeah I don't get why they changed the order either. No real reason behind it I think.

Perhaps HMXSean could shed some light on the reason?

Yeah. I think by now, from having massive Guitar Hero experience, that sequence of colored buttons is ingrained in my brain. It's almost intuition, it feels natural. It's seems odd that they want to rewrite the alphabet for the drums.

Your muscles are going to have to learn a whole new set of responses to the colors in order to play the drums anyway. As long as the horizontal position of the notes on screen correspond to the location of the drum pad you have to hit, it won't matter what colors they are.
