Prepare to be shocked – Activision has filed for yet another trademark containing “Hero” in its name. This time the trademark is for “Drum Hero,” and covers anything related to video games or toys associated with the brand.

Multiple “Hero” titles already support drumming, so it seems more than a bit unnecessary for an entire game to be based around the concept. However, with the release of both DJ Hero and Band Hero this fall, Activision has proven once again that they aren’t afraid of the idea of market saturation.

Perhaps there are a few hardcore rhythm game fans that will bite on a drum-centric “Guitar Hero” but I’ve lost all interest at this point. What about you guys?
