rockband is awesome....simply for the drums....i do have to say that it seems like RB's guitar difficulty seems easier that guitar hero.....and no one ever wants to sing on the mic........but the drums make it all worth it!!!.....i was at james (meintn) place a couple weeks ago, and had a such a blast playing that i almost lost track of time
I haven't got into the rock band or guitar hero. You'd think I would since I play drums. I also play guitar a little and recently picked up the bass. A buddy of mine came over the other day and wanted to know what kind of rock band this was... :lol:
He was a little upset when he found it was just a electronic drum kit....
Give me a bottle of Beam and I won't turn the mic loose...

The drums do make it all worth it... I love playing guitar on RB and GH (and dabble a little bit with the real thing...would love to find someone to teach me a bit since I think I've gotten about as far teaching myself as I can), but the drums are giving me the mileage off of the game (especially because I really sucked at them to start with so I had to work my way up). It's also more fun to play in a group... and a bottle of Beam would certainly help get people on the mic.
RB guitar is a little easier for some stuff, but I think that's just because they have to worry about picking songs that are a bit more balanced and include good drums and vocals too. I'm also a firm believer that the new guitars are MUCH easier and more forgiving (easier to slide across notes and the buttons are bigger so finger can be a little sloppier).
Steve, I'd like to talk Moriah into letting me get a set of those, but the reefing (money) and the noise (townhouse) give me about a negative chance. 95% of the time I'm playing RB I have my headphones on.

Brian, that's why I got the electronic kit. I use to have a nice acoustic kit. It took up too much space and was too loud. You can play through a amp or headphones for quiet play. I've got a Phonic PA system with 2 15" speakers. The mixer finally came in last week and this thing rocks cranked up. Sounds perfect. Really, If I was ever to be in a band, I'd just assume play a electronic kit, since it sounds so real. And you can change drum kits with a push of a button.
You get a little thump noise from the pads, but it's not loud like a acoustic set. But mesh heads would help alot. Plus it's cool to go from modern sounding kits to like 60s 70s style. Then the percussion sounds like congas, timbales, cowbells, etc are fun to mess around with too.
The kit I got is a Roland TD-3. It's $999 new. But it doesn't come with a kick pedal so thats another $50-$100 or more. Depends what you want. I also bought some extra bars and clamps to beef up the rack. Alesis has a new kit out for only $699 I believe. I might order it just to get the trigger pads...they are all mesh heads. My kit has a mesh snare and it feels more real than the rubber pads. Plus I wanna try out the DM-5 module to see what all sounds it has. I'm hopin' guitar center has a set in stock I can try out....before I actually buy it.

Good lord. I just finished Bioshock, and still have Mass Effect, Assasins Creed and Marion Galaxy to play. I havent even opened Metroid yet.
Is it possible to get stressed about the amount of games you have to play compared to whats coming out ?
