I hate playing drums on Rock Band. The triggers do not respond liek they need to. Half the time it says I missed and I know that I didn't. It's crap and it's seriously frustrating.


Having said that, I nailed 86% my very first time playing Tom Sawyer on Expert about 2 years ago and had never even played the game before. There's a video of it somewhere on facebook.

Yeah you have to play so far ahead of the beat that you feel like you're pushing tempo it pisses me off

And nice, I love that song!

Some practice pads have a rim. You won't get the effective rim shot sound, but it's a practice pad.

Will the rim on the practice pad do an effective job of turning your sticks into splinters?

If I like this video, does that mean I'm a homo?

I actually found the pad with the bearings.
No pads with rims like a snare. I guess ill take the trade off for the sound of an actual snare for reference.

Ill grab a stack of hard cheap sticks incase I want to get fancy

Don't buy cheap sticks. It's not worth the money.

In fact, I will ONLY use sticks made out of oak. They are harder and much more durable and rarely break prematurely. Hickory and maple sticks break much more easily.

Though, you shouldn't be breaking sticks on a pad, and if you are you are doing something wrong hahahaha.

For pad practice, get a pair of Promark 5A Oak sticks and a pair of Vic Firth SBTH3 which are snare drummer specific sticks.


Buying the 12 pair for $20 or whatever is a waste of money. 2 pair of oak pro marks lasts me longer than all 12 pair of those and cost a couple dollars less. The cheap ones break with nearly every rim shot. They are terrible.
