woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Finally passed Don't Fear the Reaper. So I was finally able to beat Drum Solo tour (I could already do tier 9 but I couldn't get there because of the ****ing ending of DFtR).

what the hell

the reaper solo/end beat is far easier than run to the hills and won't get fooled again

I don't think so. The bass patterns are trickier because you use it for every 8th note while doing 16th red streams and off-beat blue notes at one part. RttH bass patterns is easier, making the song itself easier than the solo.

I still can't beat The Reaper without using overdrive near the end of the solo.

oh

that's probably one of the songs i can do well inexplicably but most likely thanks to my edge of knowing real drums

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

It was sad 'cause I could already 5* tier 9 stuff but I couldn't finish tier 8 because of DFtR. I think my problem was that I was slowing down at the end (it felt like the song was rushing but that might just be my perception) and that the timing windows are tighter because everything is a 16th note. RttH is all about concentration and keeping up with the BPM changes, which for 3 minutes isn't that bad.

I was more surprised that I passed WGFA sightread (came close to failing before the organ solo but nailed the drum solo and had no problems the rest of the way) and Next to You (I'm bad at syncopation that fast).

Does any one find Flirtin' With Disaster a really fun song on Expert Drums, it's my favorite song on drums for RB, next to that would be Tom Sawyer.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Flirtin' With Disaster is one of my favorite songs on any instrument.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

I think it's really fun to play, but I don't like what comes out of my TV's speakers when I do.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

hahaha

Being from NC I kinda have to like southern rock

Scored some DLC just now, Beethoven's C*** is an amazing song. Holy **** I couldn't stop playing it.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Besides, I already knew real drums, and I still find Rock Band drums fun. In fact, what I like to do is run Practice Mode, then sit at my real drums and play along with the TV.

Any chance of seeing a video of that?

Interesting.. interesting indeed. Freaking love the layout.



Now if only they would have made Band World Tour online.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Yeah, I could definitely do a video of me doing real drums to a Rock Band song, it'll just have to wait until my lung heals up enough to do real drums again rofl

I can't decide whether I should do something repetitive that I won't screw up (i.e. Don't Fear the Reaper) or something impressively difficult that I will definitely screw up (i.e. Won't Get Fooled Again, or possibly a Metallica song - ooh, and I could even add the double bass).

It's about damn time they made the shop accessible in-game, going to the Marketplace on the Dashboard drove me crazy.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Do Beethoven's **** if you have it.

[Tokzic]

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Just got it.

Yes.

A few of the fills are going to be a pain, but whatever.

Also, I just decided it was time to cash in one last EA warranty and so I've stopped playing my drums like they're glass. Instantly, I 5*ed a some things I hadn't before and 5G*ed a bunch more, too. To put it in perspective, I raised my drum solo rank from 800-something to 600-something in an hour.

God I wish the drums didn't break so easy.

Re: RockBand. More Awesome.

Nice. I've never played my drums with too much subtlety because I know that I can get free replacements. My yellow pad is wearing down a bit, but it still works fine (some fills it's kinda iffy but whatever).

On vox I've been steadily improving my career rank; right now I'm ~325 on XBL. When I go through and fix all of my sightread scores (I've already turned lots of 3*s into GSs) I should be top 200. My goal is to get top 100 (I think I'm 1.2 million away ATM).
