Learn real drums with Rock Band

I've never played "drums" till Rock Band. Played the game for 2 months, got good enough for a few songs in Expert and translated my useless skill into a real skill. This is my 10th or 11th time playing real drums.

Lots of timing mistakes, and probably hitting the wrong cymbals and missing stuff. Not a bad start though.

I love how people complain to others to 'play a real instrument', now this guy has gone and done just that and proved everyone that Rock Band isn't a useless skill, yet people still bitch.

I also learned my drumming skills from Rock Band and now have a drum teacher who told me my demo I had to give the first time we met was 'the best first demo I've ever seen'.

Besides, Rock Band's fun. =P

Now its easy to plug in an electronic drum set. The new midi connection/game controller works great. I have a Roland drum set, and every note is on the money. I agree you cant learn drums like playing in a real band, but I disagree that you cant build on your timing like someone mentioned earlier. if you expose yourself to a song long enough your timming will have a good start if anything else.

I'm with you rage2,... I was raised by a drummer and never got into any instrument. My wife got me rock band2 and i played for about a year and i just bought my first real set 2 days ago....and it has really help for limb independance. and as far as timing it comes with time. learning and practicing the same song till you can play it in any cover band....

Are you retarted? You don't learn to play drum.. I play real drums. I once used to play rock band on expert. But when i first tried a real kit i couldn't play anything.
