How does the leaderboard count career scores?

My friend and I want to get up to top 10 on the Drum leaderboard. Does it only count expert, all difficulties, or just your highest score on every difficulty?

I hope you mean, my friend and I individually want to get on the leaderboards. Few people have the drum duo (one bass pedal, one pads) thing going on. But regardless, it counts your highest score. Period. If you get 1,000,000,000,000 points on Easy, and 100 points on Expert, your easy score will contribute, being that it is the highest score.

Yeah we don't cheat like that. We use to switch off on songs, but now everything clicked for him and he is really good at the drums. So pretty much he wants to get o the top of the leaderboards on my gamertag.

I thought it did that too, but I finished solo career guitar on hard, then went and played 3 songs on medium, and it didnt count anything......????

Today I was 144th on the leaderboard, yea! :D:rolleyes:

Just to clarify: it doesn't add up your highest score for each difficulty, it just adds up your highest score for each song, regardless of the difficulty level you played it on.

Playing a song on multiple difficulties doesn't do anything - you just need to play on whatever difficulty will give you the highest score, and that's the score that will be counted.

Which will always be the harder difficulty since they have more notes. (Assuming you play them well.) Just another thing that's skewed towards expert playaz.

If you are seriously going to start an argument that playing 100% of a song on Medium is even close to equal with 99 or 100% of a song on Expert, you should probably enlighten yourself on the history of competition. People who do harder things better than people who do easier things get further in life, end of story.

So you're saying that the leaderboard shouldn't show who is the better player? Good grief Charlie Brown, people have thicker skins than you think, and they probably already know whether or not they're good at something.
