Konami: Rock Revolution still releasing this year, other drum sets work with our game

That is, if you live outside of Europe. Konami has told our cruel overlords at Joystiq that North American gamers need not worry, as Rock Revolution is "still on track for a fall 2008" release, despite rumors that say otherwise. They also detailed some stuff about drum compatibility.

If you're playing Konami's title with another drum set, the game will automatically configure to that specific set. For example, when using the Rock Band drum set, the game will switch to four on-screen notes and five when using the Guitar Hero: World Tour set. Konami expects their drum set to be compatible with the competition via a patch after release.

Not to bash Konami, but I'm sure the real question on everyone's mind now is, what about GH:WT and RB2 compatibility?

But, to Konami's credit, this is the first time I've considered their game. Being able to *play* a game with your existing controllers is a major selling point these days. Or so I hear.
