Give it all, I get by, anything by Freezepop. A song in their latest pack "Science Genius Girl" is flipping insane! Oh, and Panic Attack.

Oh and *sighs in shame* Dead on Arrival

No shame there at all that was fall out boy b4 they were famous and lame
Was only working on trying 5GS that one during the week on guitar.

Love the start of that one on drums.

In fact i quite like ''this aint a scene'' by them off the track pack also.

Oh remembered another I quite like on drums..........Freak on a Leash by Korn
from GH:WT :eek: the chorus is excellent - a case of it doesn't have to be difficult to be fun for sure. /Goes to see if the brother still has this for a go of it

Edit : Oooooooooooooh Dammit by Blink 182 is really fun to play on drums too , if not difficult too.

Recorded me playing "Science Genius Girl" earlier today, just for this thread, I'll upload it as soon as I can.

AFI-Girl's not grey is great fun. Love that roll that speeds up for two bars.

Girls not grey is a right pain on guitar, it's one of those that's not a high enough tier for you to suck at but you still do we all have them songs I guess ....... gets an idea for a songs you shouldnt suck at but still do thread

Visions... tried it for the 2nd time today, got a dismal score. I seem to do badly in songs that I don't actually like.
(on guitar, can't do it on drums )

There you have it , maybe Off topic a bit , but there is a fine balance between songs that are easy yet fun to play and hard songs that are fun to play that you still do well on, the missing link ........... LIKING THE SONG

And bringing it right back around on topic

"The Middle- Jimmy Eats World"

Stupidly easy, tremendously fun!

Ah the golden chalice of 5gs is with in my grasp on that one

Had some tips from an expert on that song...... :rolleyes:

D4RK ONION

Not actually a JIW fan, is that one of them?

calex71

Thats none other than me with Jimmy himself :eek:

D4RK ONION

That's impressive. They're a bit of a guilty pleasure. That song is so damn catchy!

Love Pull Me Under, from GH;WT!

Has anyone got any tips for playing drums on RB?

I'm struggling on the last gig on hard! Bass drum is too quick for me and I'm missing a lot of notes that are together.

Maybe my system needs to be calibrated again!

Try not using Overdrive and ride the free form sections as long as you can , thats assuming you have enough over drive in the 1st place.

I suck at drums too, just not put enough effort in

For me I work using the hit has much with the hands as i can feet are secondary method, this is far from fool proof and will at least get you some ways into a difficult song so you can retry it and have some idea whats coming and a feel for the timing. If i fail I'll usually make it through on the 3rd attempt. Nailing the overdrive phrases is crucial.

D4RK ONION

I assume this question wasn't meant to be in the player list, so I've moved it here because I'm too lazy to look for another thread

If the speed of the bass pedal is what's getting you, go into the drum trainer and find a beat with a lot of bass pedal hits and adjust it to the speed you're able to do. Slowly make it faster til you find a speed you struggle at and practice that. Then when you're finished practice it some more! The only way to get better is to keep at it.

Mr Moon

Thanks for the advice guys, I put it on last night and finished the last gig on hard, some of it wasn't pretty but I got through it in one go

Do I dare try it on expert!!!!???

I love the song 'the end' on Beatles Rockband... great drum solo in it.

D4RK ONION

I'm surprised my foot pedal still works! Had to stop playing after that, the pain in my leg was unreal!!!
