No, we’re serious, we have more news on Electronic Arts’ upcoming peripheral-heavy opus, Rock Band 2. Coming from the latest issue of Game Informer are the revelation of the new Rock Band 2 drum set, as well as a limited edition “Ion” drum set, and the confirmation of seven new tracks that will be included on the sequel’s game disc.

Drummers will be faced with three possible peripheral choices in Rock Band 2: use the drum kit from the original Rock Band, get the new, enhanced one from Rock Band 2, or pony up for the limited edition Ion drum set which will include three cymbals, each tied to one of the existing colours. Whereas in Rock Band 2 the cymbal expansion will only serve as an alternate input for one of the existing four pads, future Rock Band installments could use the cymbals for some “unique functionality.”

Adding to the list of ten tracks confirmed yesterday is a set of seven newly revealed tracks:

• “Almost Easy” by Avenged Sevenfold
• “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett
• “I Was Wrong” by Social Distortion
• “Livin’ On A Prayer” by Bon Jovi
• “Rock’n Me” by Steve Miller Band
• “Testify” by Rage Against the Machine
• “White Wedding Pt. 1″ by Billy Idol
