That sucks. Oh well, it will still be pretty fun! I can play it at my friends house sometimes and just practice at home!

I think by rolls, he just meant the fast 16th kinda crap. That kind of section in Train Kept A-Rollin' is labeled in practice as "Drum Roll." I finally just figured it out, after having just about full comboed everything before it three or four times, failing out even DURING overdrive, and throwing my sticks a few times.

You need to tap really lightly. Really, REALLY lightly. I'm talking "take your eyes off the screen and try to measure a millimeter up from the pad after each hit" lightly. I found choking up a ton on the sticks to help, too. Hopefully this will at least partially solve my Run to the Hills problems.

Here's the fix I was talking about.

[MalReynolds]

Yeah, I tried the fix. I have the wrong drums.

Also, the "roll" in Train, I just wailed the bejeesus out of the red and passed, and now can consistently pass that part.

Okay, I see why. There's a thread on that site about the difference between the two kinds of drum sets they've sent out. You have the EL model, it sounds like.

[MalReynolds]

Yeah. I have a first model set. I got the kit the second day the game came out.

[dore]

So I messed with the sock mod, and couldn't get it to work, because I didn't have any fluffy enough socks. I used a ski hat (beanie, tobogan, whatever the hell you call it in your corner of the world) instead, and it worked like a charm. I 5*d Orange Crush first try, and got to the guitar solo in RttH. Now I guess I'll be able to do some expert career. My set was too bad to pass a lot of the stuff (also my coordination sucks ).

Yes. That's the same problem I had with my old drums. I couldn't pass many of the songs, especially Run to the Hills on Hard due to the fast hits.

The problem is this:

Call up EA for a replacement to solve all of your problems if you're poor, although you get to keep the old ones until the new set arrives.

EDIT: Since I still have my old drums (lucky me as I didn't have to send mine back), I could try this out to see if this works (the sock method I meant).

[EnR]

need help, how do I work the mic for Ps3.

[MalReynolds]

Uh, plug it in and navigate the menus with the controller.

And then you sing. Unless there's something else specifically wrong. Then you need to get a new mic.

[tea_green]

I believe they both are compatible. 360 I'm certain about while the PS3 might have bugs.

[EnR]

Yea I figured it out, man that pedal is hard work >_> legs tired

[Squeek]

Wii version confirmed

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/31/ea...coming-to-wii/

As I said before, if the price is right, I'm game.

[Tokzic]

[B0NK]

I suggest everyone download 'working man' by rush, especially you drummers. Its so much fun, probably the most fun in the game.

[jellygod]

lol theres a rockband competition in my city about a month from now the funny thing is the drums will be on medium, and everything else on hard. i still dont see why they dont have every instrument on expert? anyways me and my friends are going to go rape it lol. I should get 100% on every song singing on hard, drums medium 100% for my brother, he can get like 95% on wont get fooled again expert so no problem, and i have 2 friends that can do expert on guitar hero 3 so hard should be no problem for them. i cant wait for the money and gift cards etc from the competition haha.
