Rock Band is coming out in the EU next week (23 May). I actually plan to pre-order it today, but after looking at this Guitar Hero 4 details, I am rethinking. Are you guys 100% sure this GH4 stuff is true?

The reason I love these games is for me to improve my drumming. I was wondering what you guys think? Will the GH4 drums or the Rock Band drums help my drumming more? Also, any idea whether GH4 will ship simulatneously in NA and EU or do I have to wait almost a year like Rock Band?

Well, the developer seems pretty confident that they will be able to implement all the features mentioned above, but I would go ahead and get Rock Band. GH4 is a long way off and might not be available in EU right away as you are afraid of. Rock Band, as it is now, is awesome, and the DLC is great. I hear EU is getting some unique songs so that's a plus as well. As for which drum kit is more accurate...the high hat is nice, but looking at google/images I see that most kits come with 4 standard pads like Rock Band has. They also have a cymbal, but GH4 only has the 3 main pads. I think either way you'll be good to go. My plan is to get both if GH steps fulfills all the promises listed above. Edit: Also, Rock Band 2 is probably coming out this year as well, so I'm sure we'll be hearing about their plans soon. It won't cost as much since all the Rock Band 1 instruments will be compatible.
