Suicide & Redemption J.H. (Guitar part using Drums)

This was by request. With a little more practice I could FC it, but as you see near the end, even on easy parts, a slight mis-aim on the drum pads screws up the combo. I just played this like 6x in a row, and always missing the end of the solo (didn't practice the sticking enough to master that) and always messing up another easy part. This take had the best streak, but not the best score. FC'ing songs is just too stressful!

I sped it up at the end so I could fit it into 10 minutes. (I know now that I can go up to just under 11mins, or I can be a "director" to exceed that limit, thanks!)

Not my favorite song, but out of all the Metallica Death Magnetic tracks, this was the top request! So, I hope you like it.

Thanks for watching!

FAQ:
----
Q: How does it work?
A: Everything is explained in detail here: http://egyokeo.com/midihero

Q: How do you do 3-note chords?
A: All "two adjacent note" power chords are mapped to the top 4 pads, so with two sticks I can play any 3-note chord except GYO. But I can get that with one stick in left hand and two fingers on right hand.

Q: How do you do whammy and star power?
A: I use a bass drum pedal on my right foot to activate star power, and a hi-hat pedal on my left foot to control whammy depth.

Q: How do you hold notes?
A: My MIDI Hero software has an auto-hold feature for every note hit because it's more natural for a drummer to play that way. It's not a good feeling to mash sticks into drum pads to hold notes.

Q: Why do the notes "hit" so late?
A: I use a 145ms setting for the in-game HDTV Lag Calibration feature to counter the "controller lag" I have with my setup. I use it to make the sweet spot of the notes match the sound of the music, not when the notes cross the row of circles. That way, I play what I hear, but the notes burst into flames really late. This only applies to my GH2 videos and pre-update GH3 videos.

Q: Which video editor do you use?
A: My earlier videos were made with Windows Movie Maker. My latest videos are made Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8.

Q: How much does this cost?
A: The drumKat is a pro-quality MIDI drum pad set. These days, they run about $1k but I bought my set years ago. I also use a PC to run my custom home-brew MIDI Hero software to interpret the drum events. Then the "XIM" and "XFPS" add another $100+. This is not made for the masses. This is a one-of-a-kind setup.

Q: Do you play real drums? Are you in a band?
A: Yes, I've been playing drums since 1986. I have been in various bands from Jazz to Ska over the years. Right now I'm in the Detroit-based ska band The Exceptions.

Q: Are you getting Rock Band?
A: I got it, and should have my mod working with it soon. Then I'll probably have a lot more videos to post!

Q: Is "MIDI Hero" available to the public?
A: I plan on making it available for download shortly after Guitar Hero: World Tour is released in the US.
