[quote name='n8rockerasu']Hahaha...it's funny to hear about you guys struggling on the drums. I'm a guitar player in real life, but I've dabbled on drums for years, so picking up the RB drums wasn't all too difficult. The kick pedal is the biggest thing to get used to, but if you have some sort of rhythm, you should be all right.
Also, a word of advice. Don't leave your foot raised above the pedal. Leave the pedal pressed, and only raise your foot slightly when you need to strike for the next beat. This will help with calf/ankle strain.[/quote]
I haven't had the chance to play too much with the drums (a little last night) and the wife and I were discussing playing the RB drums versus real drums.
What I find hard is that all the drums are on the same "plane," it kinda makes crossing over a tad awkward. For example, using your left hand to hit the Green pad. (I mean, your snare wouldn't be on the same level as your cymbal.) Maybe just getting used to them will fix things.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm no drummer. I can actually play a little guitar, and I admit I suck at Guitar Hero/ RB. Playing guitar, I find I do better on songs I don't know, because I'm focusing more on watching when to play the note instead of listening when to hit it. I found that with drums last night, too - I kept wanting to hit beats that weren't there on Easy.
Maybe it's just my set, but my red drum doesn't seem to respond very well...
Oh yeah, filed my MCR on First Save today, too...
