The Trees - 99% 5GS Expert Rock Band 2 [Ion Drum View HD]

Click on more to read answers to your questions!
_______________________________________
The Trees was written by the band Rush. It's a really fun song to play, and somewhat difficult. I don't think it's very hard to gold star, but to FC it's a pretty big challenge, especially in the fills in the middle. Regardless, it's a song you'll play every once in a while and have a lot of fun.

1. What kind of drumset do you use in your videos?

I use an Ion Drum Rocker. I highly recommend purchasing one if you are really into Rock Band drumming, Guitar Hero drumming, or standalone drumming. You will need an extra module for that, however. The drumset is $300 and can be found at Amazon and several other online websites. It features 2 cymbals, very nice pads, and an all metal kick pedal. Well worth the money...

2. What kind of kick pedal do you use?

I use a Rock Pedal. Rock Pedal is the most amazing pedal you can use available in the online market. For a price of $75 you get perfect customer support, and a never breaking 100% adjustable all metal kick petal with metal base. You also get a 1 year NO BS guarantee which means you will always have a working rock pedal under your foot, no exceptions. If you drop it in the pool, it will work, if it doesn't, you will get it replaced. I highly recommend this as well. http://www.rockpedal.com - Rock Pedal is only available from Amazon and rockpedal.com

3. What is your Xbox Live Gamertag?

4. Do you play real drums?

I truly wish. I do plan to play real drums in the future when I get a bigger house to play them in. My parents currently won't let me buy a real drumset, but I am saving up for one.

5. What drumsticks do you use?

I use the drumsticks that came with my Ion Drum Rocker. They're pretty nice.

6. What game is this?

Rock Band 2.

7. What do you use to record your videos?

I use a Canon Powershot SD750. It's a pretty awesome camera for the money.

8. Do you post frequent videos?

I usually post GS or FC videos every week to two weeks. (If you don't see a new video in a while I'm taking a break or busy with school-related things).

Thanks,

Matt

Dude your pads are super freaking loud

[theMattmcdShow]

@Bigsyn66 yeah they're really loud because of the way i record the video. The camera that records the tv also records the audio (it's right above the pads so that's where the noise comes from)

[Horhayswallows]

hey are the cymbals really worth it...becuase i plan on getting the core ion kit and the cymbals later on if theyre 1337

[theMattmcdShow]

They aren't really that great. I wouldn't get them if you're fine with just the core kit

[PrepaidSkater659]

Hey IDK if you accept friend request but i will send you one.

i am prepaid skater.

[theMattmcdShow]

alright.

[CheapWeddingForYou]

All I can say is kudos, and it's time to get a real drum set. Work on your parents. I see people put so much time and effort with Rock Band when they could be learning the real instrument. At least with the drums (unlike guitar) you are honing your skills. I'm a Rush fan and I would encourage you to get the drum set and then get Neil Peart's instructional DVDs. Study him and Buddy Rich. You've got skills! Keep developing them!
