Any tips on foot placement?

[jarrettcoggin]

@Darkdayzz It really depends on whether you play "heel up" or "heel down". When playing "heel up", I find that I swivel my foot to help with speed and sometimes complicated rhythms. Foot placement closer to the beater allows you to press the pedal down easier, and farther away is harder to press down, but allows for faster playing.

When playing "heel down", I find it very hard to move my foot around the pedal, but I'm able to play more technical parts. I don't play "heel down" very often.

What site did you buy those Drum pads from?

[jarrettcoggin]

@ninjaman632 I bought the drum pads from goodwoodmods[dot]com. I'd rather suggest that you go to rockbandparts[dot]com to see if you can find something there because GWMs has been having poor service as of late from what I understand.

I wouldn't buy a lot of cool stuff for the drums (it is just a game after all) but this is a good start into moving into an actual drum set.

Ok You gave some actual drum tips then i'd recommend Leonardo drum school... Prety good books with easy forms but if you can beat them on around 80 ( on your metronome) theyre awesome and make you fast (why did i watch this.....lol)

any tips on how to get your hands to move picker in expert

[cardinalfan127]

Real drums or not these do take a lot of practice just like an actual drum kit. Just because you run on a treadmill doesn't mean you're not running. Rock Band emulates actual drums very well and requires almost all of the same technique. Cut the guy some slack, his tips may not be the greatest but he's just trying to help.

Fuck U and your tips. Buy this, buy that.... bla, bla , bla

Do you play real drums?

[Gameaddict619]

I don't mean any hate by this comment, but if you're this serious about Drum video games, you should drum for real if you don't already
