Drum Portion of Game

[cezar515]

I am absolutely stoked for this game and can't wait to finally be able to play the drums on this game but I have a couple questions regarding the Drum portion of the game. I am pretty sure you can't probably answer them yet but I want to at least give it a shot so here it goes. Concerning the controller, what will all be included in the setup? Will it include the basic 3 cymbal(high-hat, crash, ride), high tom, mid tom, floor tom, snare, bass drum? Will the controller include the pedal for the high-hat to differentiate from open and closed high-hat sounds and will the controller maybe have a double bass drum pedals for some of the heavier stuff? Will it actually look remotely close to an actual drum set look wise or will it look like a pad like drummania?

I've got no clue what they're gonna surprise us with, but I don't think it'll be as extravagant as you wrote. But what I'm imagining is....

high hat and ride (although a crash is probably possible too)
probably 2 toms and a snare (but i can see the snare doubling as a 3rd tom when appropriate)
bass drum is essential and pretty much guaranteed
i doubt they'll be a pedal to change open/closed hi hat (but it'd be sweet)
also doubt there will be a double bass pedal similar to actual ones, but they might work something out
due to packing, i think it'll probably come like a pad similar to drummania. It'd be nice if it was kinda adjustable though.
