Drumming advice?

[Horizontal boy]

I've just started playing the drums and have practiced medium enough to pass enough of the songs at a decent level that i moved to hard but i keep messing up on quick doubles and triples on the foot peddle.

Also when a foot peddle note is near another note, i end up hitting the note and then again with the foot peddle losing my streak and vice versa.

I'll keep practice but can anyone help with some advice for these problems or good songs to practice on medium or hard.

Thanks in advanced! :)

Learning off beat kicks, doubles and triples all just 'clicked' during a session I was playing... so really the only advice I can give personally is once you've beat the game [all songs] on Medium, just plunge into Hard.

This is going to accomplish two things, one... you'll realize you're going to fail a lot, but two, after a couple fails and maybe a good 10 songs later... you can go back to Medium on a song that was hard... and now you'll notice how much SLOWER the charts goes, it's a weird thing - your brain will be able to process what's coming at you much better because it SEEMS slower than before.

Do the same thing when it's time to go from Hard-Expert [Although, several months later I still can barely do Expert well enough, even with three Gold Stars on easier songs.]


Oh yeah, and about a week ago "rolls", something I had trouble with for some reason just clicked and I'm 110% better at them now, making certain songs a little more possible.

The cool thing about the drums on Rock Band is that it's a bit like a real drum set so doing normal drum rudiments and basic beats over and over again can make the game alot easier.

I'm not really good enough (Yet :))to advise, but i hear a replacement pedal such as the Omega or Destroyer helps alot in the advanced stages of the game.

I do that too! I also have serious trouble with alternating patterns that involve the pedal, like the chorus of Retilia on hard. It's Red+Blue, kick, repeat. It's so simple yet I totally mess it up. I've managed to come all the way through the easy and medium career and that song is my first fail of the game! I couldn't believe it!

I was also lucky to pass Enter Sandman on medium. I didn't get the hang of the intro/outro at all.

if you're passing tier 9 songs on medium, you're ready to step it up to hard. After playing hard for a few tiers, Any song on medium will be a cakewalk for you.

I'll just keep going then, practice makes perfect. Thanks everyone.

Yeah, I've moved to hard. That simple pattern in Reptilia kicked my ass. I don't expect it to take long to "click" though. Besides, I've been playing the game all day. I'm knackered. That probably didn't help.

The one on the guitar break? That still tangles me up.
