whats the name of that drum game?
you know, the one that you have to hit the drums to the corresponding marks when it hits the line. Like DDR for drums.

I wanna see how much one would cost if I were to buy it...if such a thing is possible.

DrumMania.

There is a PS2 version, though only made for Japanese PS2. The controller will run around $75-100.

If youre talking about buying an actual machine, check out ChannelBeat. http://www.channelbeat.com/products/dru ... eries.html

I've heard that there are other machines that you can use with this drum thing... I dunno, Band Band Revolution or something?

I thought it was called BeatMania? At least, the Konami one is called that. There may be clones too.

No. Beatmania is different from DrumMania. It's also made by Konami. It has the same principle (hitting a certain key/pad/button/whatever it is depending on the game) when a bar/arrow reaches a certain point on the screen, to the beat. Beatmania uses 5 keys (3 white, 2 black, KIND OF laid out like piana keys, but with alot more space in between, and thicker), and a turntable. BeatMania was the original game in the Bemani series (hence the name). Other games in the Bemani series from Konami are Dance Dance Revolution, DrumMania, Guitar Freaks, KeyboardMania (piano, not computer keyboard), ParaParaParadise, DanceManiaX, Pop N Music, and Mambo A Go Go.

And no, there's no Band Band Revolution.
