It is not a surprise to hear that Activision is working on yet another Guitar Hero game, dubbed Guitar Hero World... |

Now, you don't necessarily have to be a drummer to realize that drummers are among those musicians deprived of most possibilities to rehearse: their gear is big, if not even huge in some cases, it takes a lot of time to set up and to tear down the drum set, it needs a lot of hands or a big van to carry the drums... |

I won't say it's a bad thing because I am not even by far sure that such an assertion has a trace of veracity, but damn, I could not notice that the vast majority of the loops and groove packs being released by such manufacturers are drums.

Until little time ago, the HHX was one of the top series at Sabian... this hasn't changed but for better... |
