Tom Morello Battle / Expert Co-op on Drums

This was a request, but not as co-op, and especially not on Rhythm. But the last few sections of this song on Lead are basically impossible on drums. The only way I could do them is if I got extra "chord pads" out and used those, but then it wouldn't be as good. No, Lead on this song is like Lou's part in TDWDTG for me... not gonna happen.

gongon1050 tears it up, though. We both have had better runs at this song on our own, but we've been trying to get a video of this up for a long time so I'm taking this one! :-)

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.

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: How much does this cost?
A: The drumKat is a pro-quality MIDI drum pad set. These days, they run about $1k. 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, now that there is a mod out there that'll allow me to use my MIDI pads on it. I refuse to play on the stock drum controller. It's awful. Once I can play the game on my MIDI pads, I'll probably make some videos.

Q: Is "MIDI Hero" available to the public?
A: I plan on making it available for download in the coming months. Stay tuned.

When are you hooking the TD-20's up to GH3 :D?

[egyokeo]

probably never. i'm so used to the little drumKat now. plus it'd make things too hard for no reason to use the v-drums, being that the pads are so spread apart. They'd be perfect for rock band drums, though!

[gongon1050]

Ack, my respectable run. So, is our "FC" of Reptilia going up too? XD

P.S. LRRLRLLRR FTW.

[egyokeo]

no because i watched it and the streak counter *did* reset right when I screwed up. And the song is pretty boring to watch me bang 8th notes out on a single drum pad, so only a true FC will do :) i don't know what it is about me, i'll do anything in my power to NOT get 100%/perfect on anything.
