Portable Rock Band drum kit rids your living room of clutter

rock-band-portable.jpgRock Band is one of the most fun video games to come out in some time now, offering mere mortals to get in on the fun of being a rock star. The only problem is that it requires a whole slew of extra equipment to play, with guitars and microphones taking up some space and then a huge honking drum set taking up way more space.

The solution? Get one of these Mad Catz portable Rock Band drum kits. It boils the peripheral down to its essence, delivering just the pads and the pedal. You can lay the pads out on your coffee table, and when it's time to put the game away you can toss them in a drawer rather than cluttering up the corner of your living room with something as dorky as a video game drum set.

I admit, this stuff is fun. But come on, don't they have drumsticks that can be played on anything yet? Why do you need the pads? Come on gaming community!

Sticks would only give you two inputs. Left stick, Right stick.

The game had 4 pad surfaces. One approximates a snare, one a hi-hat, one a tom or ride cymbal, and one a crash cymbal. You can't do that with just two sticks.

This is a cool idea, assuming they're responsive and accurate.

cool idea, maybe u can put them on top of a real drumkit, saves having a plastic and real kit sitting in my living room.

COOL! now i can finaly get rid on my big, bulky, and BROKEN drum set!(ya the red pad snaped off)IF they made it for PS2/PS3. so far iv only seen it for 360
