    The Main Drag - Please remake the drum chart!

    So I've bought some song by The Main Drag, one of the harmonix-related bands that I really enjoy both listening to and play. The drums are pretty challening in some of the songs (How We'd Look on Paper for example) but they get completely ruined when you play them on pro drums (Kinda hard to do the faster rolls on the crash, and alternating between it and ride/hi-hat).

    I know that its said that they wont do any remakes of already released songs but since this is a Harmonix related band I figured theres no harm in asking for it.

    The Main Drag has so much variation and its a shame to let all of those drummingcharts go to waste.

    Who is "they" and who said it? Harmonix has released RB3 versions of songs and so have RBN authors. All we need to do is convince John Drake to do this!

    This would be a good chance for John to rectify his claim that RBN charts take pro drum data from the midi file! (Yes, he already apologized for making that claim, but I want those songs!)

    Don't Let Me Down (Slowly), the RBN2 example song, is fully charted with keys and drums and harmonies, so it might be likely that The Main Drag songs could end up with some RB3 versions eventually. What I want, personally, is the original version of A Jagged Gorgeous Winter. Now that there are keys I want to learn that keys part so bad.
    I went to Harmonix and ordered a pepperoni pizza. Instead, they gave me a cheese pizza and told me that I could buy one pepperoni slice every week.

    Not only do these songs have great drums that could really use pro versions but they also have great harmonies and keys and it would be a shame if we never got Dove nets, Whats Your Favorite Dinosaur?, Jagged Gorgeous Winter, and the already charted Don't Let Me Down (Slowly).

    Please John Drake give us RB3 versions.

    I have to ask. Why DIDN'T John do Pro drums? I know you guys were hiding it, but I doubt anyone woulda found it, and John works at Harmonix as the PR head, so it's not like he'd spill the beans. Or you know, not be able to figure out how, considering he's surrounded by people that did it.

    Apparently he didn't know more than anyone else; he's the one who infamously said at Eł or somewhere that the pro drum charts are taken from the animations.

    Yeah, but he could have easily been told.
