- A teaser gives us a potential early look
Gaming hardware manufacturer CRKD has teased a new drum kit controller.
Scheduled to launch sometime in 2026, there are very few details about the upcoming product, although a short teaser trailer and a promotional image may give us an early look.
Look at
We can see something that looks like the old drum kit for the game Rock bandwith four color-coded pads to simulate the drums. This is in addition to three color-coded cymbals, plus a foot pedal on the right side.
The video’s thumbnail features some CRKD-branded wooden drumsticks, plus some sort of control panel with buttons presumably used to help control or set up the kit.
There are no further details beyond the fact that the controller will be released sometime in 2026. “You’ll have to wait a little longer to find out further details; our lips are sealed,” the company writes in a press release.
The brand has gradually established itself as a major player in the rhythm game controller niche, most recently after releasing a licensed Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller, which we praised for its strong build quality, attractive design and ease of use with big games such as Guitar Hero.
Given the real lack of other drum kit controllers on the market right now, with most Rock band gamers who rely on older used hardware from sites like eBay, I can see this new product being a big hit.
