Konami Ups the Weird with Their Drum Kit

Konami, throwing its hat into the ring in the music band competition, has come up with the weirdest configuration of a drum kit for Rock Revolution. As shown in MTV Multiplayer Blog, it’s a conglomeration of differently shaped drum heads - three shaped like cymbals. One big advantage - it allows freestyling, so there’s no penalty for doing your own thing during a song, so long as you hit the right drums at the right time.
The guitar appears as a standard Guiter Hero III axe, and the rock show is in the forefront of the action, not the background as it is in the other two games.
Konami said “Rock Revolution” will ship with at least 40 songs on the disc, with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions getting downloadable content after launch.
So, which will be your rock band: Rock Band, Guitar Hero IV, or Rock Revolution? Let us know.
(Thanks, Joystiq.)

You spelled Konami wrong on the title.
