Rock Band Drums Cheating?

[Midnight Syndicate]

Hi, im new to the site and I figured out how to make the Rock Band drums work perfectly with FFR. I was wondering if this is considered "cheating".
I plan to use the drums so let me know...thanks.

Well it would be was easier to hit long jacks because you could use 2 hands for 1 arrow (like double setup).

If anything that would make it more difficult. Make a vid because that sounds interesting.

People already have used rockband drums with FFR in the past, by the way.

To answer your question: Rockband drums are really helpful on jacks, but I don't think using it can get you anywhere hard such as rolls, etc.

EDIT: Here's a better actual recorded gameplay: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ryz3aO5Oq8s

Good god that song is awful. It was interesting but i had to close out of it after like 15 seconds. Seriously worse then screamo death music.

By the rules of the game and how double setup is generally ruled, I'd say that the fact you can use two sticks on the one pad doesn't make it double setup. If you cultivated the skill, you could easily do jacks alternating fingers on one button (For all I know, indexers do this already)

You have 4 inputs keyed to 4 arrows, so I call that single setup even though the pads are physically large enough that you can hit the one pad with two sticks.

Jacks = advantage
Some patterns are going to be hard as **** on drums, I tried on SM.

After playing index for so long i think its safe to say that you cannot jack 1 button with 2 fingers. At least not effectively. The average finger is about the size of a keyboard key. The tip of your finger that is.
