Drumstick is a heavyweight racer, like [[Banjo]] and [[Krunch]], and as a result, has a good top speed, and poor acceleration. However, his turning is at an average level, making it a bit easier for players to control him.

History

Diddy Kong Racing

In Diddy Kong Racing, players unlock Drumstick by obtaining four gold trophies and thirty-nine Gold Balloons and squashing a frog with a rooster's red comb on its head in Adventure mode. Drumstick's instrument theme is a fiddle/violin.

Drumstick is a heavyweight racer, like Banjo and Krunch, and as a result, has a good top speed, and poor acceleration. However, his turning is at an average level, making it a bit easier for players to control him. Drumstick's top speed without bananas is 61.5 mph.

Diddy Kong Racing DS

Drumstick is also in the Nintendo DS remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. In this game, the players do not need to have four gold trophies and thirty-nine gold balloons to unlock him. Instead, they must flick a frog onto the cliff with a frog face on top of it using the DS's Touch Screen. Once that is done, the frog comes down with a rooster's comb, and the players must then run over it to unlock Drumstick.

In the remake, Drumstick's vehicles are slower, but their acceleration has been greatly boosted from being one of the worst to being one of the best. The handling is slightly worse than in the original game however.
