Now for some reason every time a new music game comes out it seems to be a priority to reinvent the instruments for the next game. Going back from Guitar Hero to Rock Band, they both seem to upgrade and enhance the instruments in some noticeable ways and some that just seem to be out to reel in your money. It seems to be the latter with the new Guitar Hero 5 drum set. Well at least just from the visual aspect the new drums seem to have a slight upgrade, they look sleeker and slightly realistic (despite still looking sort of Lego-ish.) From the pictures released by Activision, the drums even look polished. The one thing I can hope for is that the bass pedal is a little sturdier, and reinforced with much stronger materials. Just like with the Guitar Hero guitars there have been no significant upgrades upon the past few models, just the weight and the shape have been altered to make the game feel fresh. As of now, there seems to be no significant reason to purchase the game with all the workings (mic, guitar, drums.) That is, unless you need one of those which it always seems cheaper to buy them in a bundle than separate.
