How to Buy Wii Guitar Hero Drums

"Guitar Hero" is a popular rhythm-based franchise that began in 2005 on the PlayStation 2 console. Since then, entries in the "Guitar Hero" series have been released on various platforms, including the Nintendo Wii. "Guitar Hero World Tour" is the first game in the series to feature complete band play, including drumming via the drum set peripheral. "Guitar Hero World Tour" comes bundled with all equipment, but the instruments can be purchased separately, new or used, at a lower price.
