You can rock out as the drummer for Vater Artists’ bands, earn a Vater Drumstick Endorsement and unlock Vater clothing all within your journey to Rock Stardom in the Rock Band Game.

But also, drum along to tracks from Vater artists such as Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jet and more. The authentic drum set controller, consisting of four drum pads and a kick drum pedal, has been designed to put the power of real rock ‘n’ roll rhythm in your hands.

Rock Band gives some great drummer tips while waiting for Rock Band to be released:

1. Get out of the house. It may be your last chance for a long while.
   Brush up on your stock of drummer jokes. (What\'s the difference between a drummer and a savings bond?)
   
2. Search the web for that video clip of Van Halen turning Jump into a total trainwreck. Not only is it truly priceless, but it will make you feel better about your own playing.
   
3. Familiarize yourself with the crazy drum fills in “Tom Sawyer” by Rush. This will help you later on—unless you know them already, in which case you\'re a terminal music geek with too much time on your hands (in other words, part of our target audience).

Rock Band will be released in stores on November 23, 2007. More info can be found on: www.rockband.com.
