[SlowGears]

Congrats on beating it, I took it on today myself for the first time on expert. I have played it so much now that getting past it is really easy for me.

[AllyRukus]

lol its not that hard on drums...once your used to going quick its just repetitive, have you seen the expert guitar?

[barbaraann72]

Rock on, wich yaw bad self! http://smileyjungle.com/smilies/music18.gif

[R4di4ti0n]

Hahaha.
Good job, i remember the first time i beat GG&HT on drums. I love that song now, its a lot of fun. It has a easy, but quick pattern. Now try RTTH on expert. Keep some tape handy, as your arms may fall off

[Angelex21]

Well RTTH Will be fun to practice GG&HT is like you dont even want t practice it because your.... idk but it was hard i almost failed like 5 times. on the fast parts and saved my self alot of the times lol lmao at barbarann's comment LMAO I know its not that fast either it just sooo repetitive...

"lol its not that hard on drums...once your used to going quick its just repetitive, have you seen the expert guitar?"

yes but guitar all you move is your fingers... Drums your have to coordinate your whole body.

[SlowGears]

Moving your fingers isnt as easy as it seems... and what do you coordinate with drums, hands and a foot? big whoop lol

Can you beat it on expert guitar 5 stars?

[R4di4ti0n]

I can't even get past RTTH on hard. I dred the day that I have to play it on expert. :(

I know what you mean. Im there. Its the great wall keeping me from AN-I-MAL. But all i can say for yah is keep at it. It'll come easier each day. Get your endurance up, and just play all the ones that challenge you. Goodluck!

[AllyRukus]

yes but guitar all you move is your fingers... Drums your have to coordinate your whole body.

i know, and i beat GGaHT on drums after about 15 hours total of playing them(first try), whereas im still doing many touchups on the second solo of GGaHT for guitar

[sothrowed4438]

lol its not that hard on drums...once your used to going quick its just repetitive, have you seen the expert guitar?

or expert bass

[sothrowed4438]

Yeah I cant get past the beginning part on expert. I can make it like 20 secs. lol

[Angelex21]

hey how bout you try real guitar? at least drums is more realistic then 5 buttons

[AllyRukus]

hey how bout you try real guitar? at least drums is more realistic then 5 buttons

have you ever tried real drums? its just as real using the RB guitar as it is using the RB drums

[IslandBoy91]

It's a hell of a lot harder than it sounds. Your foot will naturally move with your hands, which is fine, if the beats don't alternate.

It took a few weeks to finally separate myself, now I'm almost finished with the expert tour.

[Tralfmadorian]

That song isnt even hard on drums, just long.

[Angelex21]

woah woah woah real guitar 5-7 strings with around 20 frets. rock band guitar 5 buttons? How the hell are real guitar and rock band guitar simular? ANd now i dont have drums to play in rl cuz i alreayd have guitar eventually i will play drums but not right now.

[R4di4ti0n]

Heres an idea!

This forum was started to offer CONGRATS to our fellow community member who just made a milestone in his PERSONAL drumming, and to ENCOURAGE him to keep it up, because we have all been there, where we finally beat the bane of our existance (for me it was Reaper).

How about we stop all of this worthless "drums are better" , "no guitars are better", "well, your fat" , "go play a real instrument" crap. Its pointless, they will never see things your way, and no matter how many times you tell me to pick up a real damn instrument, it wont make me enjoy this game less.

Thanks for listening, and great job beating Green Grass. Have fun!

[SlowGears]

I was just about to post something to this effect. Let's keep it on topic

No one said the RB guitar was like real guitar, i said both the RB guitar and drums are nothing like the real version of each.

[sothrowed4438]

I know its not even last tier.

Hey guys quit fighting about real drums/guitars and RB drums and guitar. Its a video game and I want this thread locked ok.

[Micker]

On Drums?? This song is easier then some early tier songs for me. I mean I don't see one hard part in it, it doesn't even seem challenging. What part are people having a hard time with?? Not trying down your accomplishment, but if you can get through Detroit Rock City, DOA and RttH, this is a snooze fest. Now on guitar expert.... Seriously though, what section is hard for people in this song, the fast blue notes??

[DSOTM]

hey how bout you try real guitar? at least drums is more realistic then 5 buttons

because games are suposed to be realistic

Well said dude.

[Tralfmadorian]

The skills involved in RB drumming more closely simulate real drumming. Guitar, not so much.

Virtual guitaring is just about finger coordination and muscle memory pattern recognition. It doesn't even account for shaping, precise picking, or fretboard placement.

Taking two people with no experience playing music, if you take someone who plays RB drums, and then sit them down to a real drum kit, they can actually play songs (basic structures anyway). If you take a RB guitarist and hand him a real guitar, he can only play 5 notes in sequence on the same string.

The only even somewhat tough bits are the offbeat kicks (the structure is like R+B+K and then a single K just after it). But they only appear in two parts of the song if i recall.

Though i understand your point, most actual drummers ive asked went on to say the rockband drums are nothing like the real thing, the best thing either of these RB instruments can teach you towards the real thing is a little bit of coordination.

Thats all i was trying to say. And Btw i just beat DOA in one try ok?

[FFeniXX]

That wasnt my question, and real guitar players have said some parts of some songs are harder than real guitar

Real guitar is too serious

Per the requests posted already, this will be my last post on the subject. Reply if you want/need, but I wont reply anymore.


"Nothing like the real thing" is wrong. If this were true then IRL drummers would have no preexisting advantage in playing RB drums. Everything I've heard says this is false. Most of the expert RB drummers (the ones who make the 5* and G* youtube vids are IRL drummers.

It is a very good way to reinforce rudiments such as leg/arm independence and note counting, things that even seasoned drummers have to learn when they start playing.

Guitar is totally different in that it doesnt even teach the most basic fundamentals of playing guitar, all it teaches is finger pattern memory and left/right hand coordination, and while the latter is certainly very key, the way RB teaches it doesnt really translate. Drumming is almost all about coordination between 4 limbs, RB drumming teaches key fundamentals in 3 limb coordination, which is a great start. Guitar doesnt even begin to touch the surface of what it means to play guitar, and I say this as an avid GH fan and decade-plus guitar player.

[Tralfmadorian]

Thats all i was trying to say. And Btw i just beat DOA in one try ok?

Good job. I failed that one twice before I got the pattern of the intro. I had [fortunately] never heard the song prior to getting the game. It's a breeze after that. Your next real challenge will probably be Reaper.

[Angelex21]

Strait forward songs are hard for my songs liek nightmare on hard and a few others are fun to be a challenge me so i beat them easier. Just 5 starred train kept a rollin' i messe dpu a few parts but dide pretty good most of the song.

[Angelex21]

5 starred the reaper first try no problems :P

[Solid_Snake]

Congratulations! Now go beat RttHs on Expert!!! Have fun with that.

[Angelex21]

I will..eventually

[Tralfmadorian]

5 starred the reaper first try no problems :P

Sure you did.

[AllyRukus]

5 starred the reaper first try no problems :P

[AllyRukus]

Good Post. And congrats, now only run to the hills can stand in your way. keep practicing, thats how i did it.

[Tralfmadorian]

Wow...

I assumed since there was a celebratory "I finally passed ______" thread, that it was expert mode".

My fault for assuming, but geez...if PASSING on medium is something to celebrate, then I deserve a parade.

[Angelex21]
