Title: Jesus drums get hard on Rock Band
Post by: TakingBackSunday on January 07, 2008, 07:33:48 PM
I'm up to...eh, Reptilia on Hard-level drums, and this shit is getting pretty tough.  I still come out with at least three stars and like 90% completion, but damn if my limbs feel tired afterwards.

I am not looking forward to playing Won't Get Fooled Again on Hard (or, fuck, expert).

I just played Hard drums at Best Buy for like an hour and a half. My arms aren't tired, but my left leg hurts because I was playing the bass pedal with my right leg while standing up. :-\ I got totally fucking owned when I tried to play Tom Sawyer. I think the hardest song I managed to get through was Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld. Or maybe Foreplay+Long Time.

I am surprised by how hard Celebrity Skin was on expert. The song is really uptempo, and it feels faster than it really is.

I hate playing Won't Get Fooled Again and Long Time / Foreplay on hard because I always fuck up and ruin the songs and I like singing along when I play because the track list is like liquid jesus.

Foreplay/Long Time was really fucking fun to play on drums on Hard.

Reptilia on Hard was my first sticking point, after plowing through Medium and the first few Hard tiers without dying.

That said, I can do most of the first 30 songs on Expert without any additional issues, so...really just depends on the song

speaking of, All-American Rejects' Move Along is the best drum pattern in the game. FACT

Oh it is! But hard.  Coincidentally Enter Sandman is definitely second best.

The Fall Out Boy song on Expert is retardedly difficult and also not fun, and is the reason I've not opened all the way to the last tier on expert (I've played most of the rest of the game excepting the Iron Maiden and The Who songs via quickplay).

Well, it looks hard but not THAT hard. I think I could play that song. The bass drum is a steady beat most of the time. That's what I have the most trouble with.

I wonder how much time was sunk into turning out a note chart just for that song.  Unbelievable.

His drum fills are like actually good sounding, mine are just me banging on the drum pads and SCREAMING.

Exactly!  Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?!
