Activision has announced that the upcoming Band Hero game headed to the DS will come with a new drum grip peripheral.

I always thought the whole appeal to Guitar Hero was holding a toy "guitar" and sitting at a pretty good toy drum kit with a bunch of friends. This is just mind numbing thumb jabbing/button smashing.

My sentiments exactly, I certainly wouldn't be caught dead buying something as ridiculous as this. But then, I'm not a 10 year old stuck in the car for long road trips either. I was picturing more of an "attachment" of some kind that would sit off to the side. Kinda like those keychain skateboard deals.
