Is Rockband/Guitar Hero Real Drumming?


YES IT IS REAL DRUMMING, the cost is highly different though, anyone can learn the guitar version for these games, Expert+ is fun, oh yeah, for all the musicians out there, it is a video game that is for fun. Got that!

Nobody is calling themselves real musicians who play these games. I see a whole bunch of people who worked hard to get good at an instrument bash something that is actually helping the music industry and them. You will have more fans come to your show if they are exposed to more music, how is this a bad thing? As for drums go, I am a double bassist who just tried playing Guitar Hero 5 on drums, real playing required. How the heck is a 7 year old supposed to play those higher levels, well, isn't drums just pathways when it comes down to it?

You learn rhythms, which now are more accurate than the first couple of games. For guitar, yeah its just fun, but drums...I actually do have to slow it down and practice the faster songs. Can you jump on the drums and start playing Children of Bodom 100% perfect because it is showing you the notes, nope, you still have to have timing and endurance. SO, in conclusion, bright shiny colors and fake notes, actually do help your drumming. Prove me wrong, I dare you!

Yes, I do practice the real drums, too. Anything that helps, helps, so for all the skeptics and negative people who like raining on every ones parade...nobody is making you play.
