Mystery port on 'Rock Band 2' drum kit gets even more mysteriouser

You know the supposed Guitar Hero: World Tour keyboard that never materialized? If you were really looking forward to that, get ready to have your hopes dashed on another mystery instrument that will probably also never come to be. According to Harmonix, that extra port on the back of the updated drum kit -- which previously was said to be for a second kicker -- is actually for something that's totally not a second kicker. What exactly will fill that port, though, the company isn't saying. Speculation is rife about another nebulous keyboard peripheral, but if you ask us our money's on a high hat, or maybe that other fundamental aspect of the drumming experience yet to be captured in the silly plastic instrument game genre: the triangle.

The port is for the Mad Catz Cymbol Kit.

The argument about real guitars is ridicules. I play neither the guitar nor the guitar game, and i dont see why the two cant live harmoniously. Give it up, if you wanted to learn a real instrument you could find the time space and money, you just dont want to. Its the same reason you play grand theft auto instead of stabbing that bitch, with Guitar hero you can be a star. quickly.
If people want to game let them game, get off their asses.
Ima go back to playing worms.
