Omega GM-1 Real Drum Set For Rock Band

There are already some mods for using real drum sets with Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but this new mod which is the Omega GM-1. This new drum set is the first off the shelf option for Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

Available on its own or bundled with a Pearl drum set, the system packs individual sensors that detect each drum hit with “speed and accuracy” and, most importantly for those not playing, support for mesh heads and a dampening system for the cymbals — of course, if you opt for the drum set package, you’ll also get some real drum heads. Omega is even going so far as to promote the system as an ideal way to learn to play the drums and, conversely, says that non-gamer musicians that tried it were able to start playing songs with ease immediately.

Pricing starts from $249.
