Rock Band. More Awesome.

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

How many of you who have been killing sets have actual drumming experience, particularly instructed by someone who knows what they're doing?

Because I know others who tried drums playing with me didn't know how to hold a stick and hit down basically totally wrong, applying far too much force and "following through" in a way. I had to show them how to not push it the way they were and how to strike without forcing it. And even then they still ****ed it up. I know drumming like that would easily bust up a kit, but I really don't think I'd ever be able to, barring a wild, blind-fury rage of course.

I've only ever broken my drum pedal, and I've been playing real drums for nearly 6 years now. I have a Pearl Reference Drum kit, which I love. ^__^

I know I abuse my red pad, because my left hand stick control is ****. But my right hand is alright and I play properly, yet my yellow pad is dying. I could probably save it with a penny mod but it's not worth it at this point.

Sometimes when I get mad, I beat the **** out of my drums. Like, hard core. I'd say that's what was responsible for my first 2 kits breaking. Third kit, I let someone else play and they futzed up a pad. This kit is going along fine.

I don't play real drums, but I'm only on my second kit only due to the fact that my first one was the bad version that can't respond properly to drum rolls and such, and this is before I discovered the sock mod.

My new one is still in good shape, or I believe. I sometimes drop random red/yellow notes, but now I think it's the drums instead of me. I only broke one pedal on Blackened.

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

I go to the DLC expecting to see some All That Remains, but just got dissapointed ;_; since nothing new as of yet.

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

So I picked up Rock Band for my Wii a little while ago. Just finished up. On GGHT the second solo was giving me lots of problems on the 3-fingered rolls. I haven't gotten used to shifting up to the "solo" keys so I just played the whole song on them. It made a HUGE difference since I didn't have to strum to get back on the notes. I can definitely improve this score as I get used to playing on the upper keys.

So all in all, I played each song once on Expert except for GGHT which took a few tries to pass. I gold starred 38, the rest were 5-starred except for three 4-stars (Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Ballroom Blitz, and I Get By), and one 3-star (Run to the Hills).

Those three finger rolls are like the only thing i have problems with. I figure out, by using instead of the tip of your finger, use your whole finger. Somehow that made it more precise for some reason ...

It's quite the catchy tune, what's the story on it? Is he talking about America?

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

Not rly.

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

Well thursday, I only seen the All That Remains pack, which I must say is fun as ****. But hard D=

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

I didn't see it either.

Re: Rock Band. More Awesome.

It's not under new releases, if you're looking for it there. If you're on 360 you have to be a gold member to get it this week.
