Monkey Wrench - Expert Drums 100% Full Combo (Rock Band 2)

[MIS352]

And award goes to most ghetto drum throne :)

My damn kick pedal loves to dance to this song.

[leadnsteel]

Much better than me at this song. I always fail at the drum rolls because i can never get the speed right.

Also you should try Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard. It's got lots of drum rolls like Monkey Wrench.

[gabzz103]

@leadnsteel They came with more practice (drum rolls that is). I remember when I was rather terrible at them.

"I hit the overdrive at the optimal places" : That's what she said. lol, good job on the song

[realAngrySnake]

Oh! great job man, you are pretty good at the game, i'm much worse than you, i can´t pass RttH in RB1 and in RB 2 i can pass neither everlong nor panic attack, and not to think in trying visions because i really suck, and i haven´t played because my RB1 pedal broke, and my red pad broke too, so i don´t have more drum fun until i get a way to fix my drum set, because i think that buying another drum set is too expensive, and here in Mexico the prices are much higher than in the US.

[gabzz103]

Try relaxing your hands when you're playing very fast beats like in Everlong or Run to the Hills. It's much better and hurts a lot less when your wrists aren't full of stress.

I bought my ion kit at a electronics retailer in Canada for $400.

[D3m0nk1ng584]

Sexy job.

Quick question, is the Ion Drum Pedal any different from the RB2 Stock Pedal?

[gabzz103]

Mwah! Thanks!

I've only played with the RB2 stock pedal a bit and I find the Ion Stock one to be more efficient with double hits (see my Cherub Rock video) or tapping it consistently (My Hero video).

I hear that the Destroyer is much better but I feel fine with my Ion stock pedal now.

[D3m0nk1ng584]

Coolio. I was planning on getting a Destroyer.

Keep up the good work! I subbed. :)

[gabzz103]

Thanks for the sub, man! You'd have to ask someone else about the comparison between a Destroyer though.

[gabzz103]

Thanks for the subscription, man!

You'd have to ask someone else about the comparison with the Destroyer though.

[D3m0nk1ng584]

Yeah, I wanted to do it partly because I have a hard time with bass beats with 3 notes at a time, like the part from the beginning of the video to 0:17. I need a lot more practice and a better pedal before I think I'll be good enough to hit them. Funny thing is, I can do double no problem, but that's easy.

[gabzz103]

Yeah, I remember having a lot of difficulty doing that pattern when I owned Rock Band 1 and only had the drums that came with it.

One thing : Experiment with the height that you're sitting compared to the drums before buying an expensive pedal. It makes a huge difference.  Notice the two cushions that I sit on on my drumming videos.

[D3m0nk1ng584]

Yeah, I'm positioned higher than you are when I play, that could be my problem. o_O

[SpecOpsGrunt]

good work, i remember the first time i FC'd this song on drums...i was pretty pleased with myself. the video is on my channel. i can pretty much FC this song every time now, haha.

[gabzz103]

Yeah, that was definitely one of those songs that I did many times with just one or two mistakes. I was pleased indeed! :P

Sure, I'll check out your videos!

[CmrezSh]

1 word, BELIEVE lol

[CmrezSh]

WOOOOHOOO GABZZ! now the question

guitar + drums fc?

[gabzz103]

I'm not sure if you heard me say "FINALLY!" at the very end of the video but getting a full combo on that was NOT easy! I just don't think it's gonna happen.

This take was the second time I played the song that day though.

[gabzz103]

Whooo! *Snaps fingers*

Are you trying to flatter me? :P

[zbryan2]

damn nice job dude

[gabzz103]

Merci beaucoup!

[zbryan2]

i dont speak that language

[gabzz103]

I figured but it's relatively well known that "Merci beaucoup!" means "Thank you very much!" in French.

[zbryan2]

i dont speak bunghole:)
