Band Hero DS Drum peripheral unveiled.

This fall, Band Hero DS will allow four DS systems to link up for guitar-bass-vocals-drum gameplay. And for optimal drumming, the game comes bundled with a "drum grip" revealed here.
The Band Hero DS drum grip is a piece of rubberized silicon that slips over a DS Lite. And is designed to better enable the feel of rapidly playing the drums than, say, tapping on drum icons on the DS' touch screen.
The peripheral will come bundled with each copy of Band Hero DS, which will also include a single DS Lite-compatible guitar grip.
The drum grip, like the rest of Band Hero DS is not compatible with the DSi. In the case of the drum grip, it simply doesn't fit the system. I touched it briefly when it was wrapped around a DS Lite at an event in New York City last week. It felt snug and the pads felt comfortable to tap.
The grip puts drum pads over the DS Lite's d-pad and face buttons. The game's executive producer, David Nathanielsz, told Kotaku that the reason for adding the peripheral was to make it more comfortable to rapidly tap to the game's drum patterns. "They have this really nice push-back, bounce-back feel to them," he said. "They fit your thumbs well. If you start banging on that d-pad [without it,] you'd get blisters and you won't have that feel."
That ... looks ... amazing ... ly retarded.

I concur
Well i just bought this for ds and it's awesome!! Guitar grip and drum grip are comfortable and fun, the game is ultra responsive and the gameplay is great. Only downside is there are only around 30 songs. they are from the likes of kasabian, editors, gorillaz, queens of the stone age, foo fighters, and mika to name a few. You can even sing as well if your that way inclined. Only paid £8.00 for it too at HMV! Shame there aren't any achievements though. :)
Rhythm games do NOT work on handhelds. WHY do they subject people to this kind of shite?
