well, you can't run the above into an amp and you're not making anything. you could use digital drum pads and fucking make music while learning all these techniques, or you could fucking do bullshit like play rock band.

I don't agree with Counselor Weissenberger about video games in general ( I like some video games), but these "rock band" games are for fucking retards.

I don't care if it's fun. you're having fun in a retarded, non-productive way. you're telling me you can't practice paradiddles on a $10 drum pad? It's not like it's just some $50 game. it costs something like $200. you could buy a goddamn four track and a drum pad and have change left over for that much money. stop feeding retarded youth culture and wasting plastic and time.

don't be a dupe. make something.

The "drumkit" is worthless. The sticks don't bounce off it. Infact the clicking of wood on plastic drowns out the music if you don't turn it up loud enough.

kerble,
i get what you're saying. dave grohl learned to play on pillows. and video games are expensive. i used to just play according to what i thought drummers were supposed to play. but in the short time i've been doing this rock band thing, i have opened my mind to beats and tricks that i never thought of before. i can see and hear how some drummers play snare and bass together. to me, that was huge. (i guess phil collins or someone taught me to never do this.)
i can break down complex fills and practice them slowly until i move up. my progress is immediately visible. it's like a good teacher, only its grading scale is perfect. it's the closest i've gotten to keith moon.

I'd like to see "Rumble" or "Jack the Ripper" by Link Wray.

Atlas (Battles) should be really fun

Whatever the slowest song of Low's is.
