It stops the other drums from triggering because it softens the blow of the drum stick, muting the vibration via the sock so that you don't have accidental triggers.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

So after playing a bit a Rock Band Guitar (Expert) online with my GH3 controller, I decided to go try out the RB controller again. And you know what I noticed when I started playing?

The strum bar is broken. Can't strum down properly. It doesn't play. Only plays up. I first noticed this when I was in the main menu, and I couldn't move down. Since I'm not willing to buy another RB controller, I'll stick with the GH3 controller. I MIGHT ask for a replacement if I feel like it.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

My friend had his strum bar broken as well...So I just brought my GH3 guitar. I played for my first time actually this weekend and I started on expert and played through the guitar no problem (GH3 experience I guess?) and then tried drums, played expert on those...without finding much difficult at all, really. The only problem I noticed was that the drums wouldn't register rolls properly? Might just be his kit of course.

It doesn't register rolls because there aren't any rolls in the game. When the track drummer does a roll, it's often just one snare hit or some eighths. There shouldn't be anything you can't do without rolls, though.

Didn't you get forum mod powers a while back? Isn't there ANYTHING you can do?

ps i havent played this is like weeks because my room is a mess and i seriously dont even have room to pull my kit out and play, assuming i actually had time available during the day that i could spend playing

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Nope. Just a chat mod that posts on the forums bunches.

Also, trying the sock method today if my car passes inspection. If not, I have to rely on my brother/mom/friends to cart me around, and then I probably won't be able to convince them to take me to Wal Mart to buy padded socks and industrial rubber bands.

I really want this. My friend has it for Xbox 360 and I want to get it for PS2. It is such a fun game!! I hope my mom will let me get it!

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

The PS2 version is severely gimped. You'll still have a really, really great time, but you'll be missing out somewhat.

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.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Here's the fix I was talking about.

[MalReynolds]

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

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.
