Battle of the Bands - Round 1

As bizarre as this will sound, skipping is actually a pretty valid technique when you're learning Hard drumming in a band situation. Because the rest of the band is to some degree keeping time based on how you beat the pads, it's better to miss a note here or there rather than throw the timing for the whole band out of whack. Anytime I'm playing guitar, my biggest challenge is staying in time while our drummer speeds up, slows down, or completely bombs a fill.

Of course, this is something you shouldn't have to do more than a few times. If you're playing drums for your band and consistently need to skip notes, it's time to turn down the difficulty.

OK, make sure your hands are in go spot to the notes then when you get star power, activate at the right times, also use your whammy thing to get more star power becuase the crowd likes star power and they will grant you 5 stars. also always be looking at the tv screen and dont get distracted

We finished our four songs earlier tonight, and I'm really curious to see how we did. We 5-starred each, but I wonder if we got the most out of our scores -- there's definitely some strategy regarding whether it's more advantageous to keep streaks going on Hard or going for broke on Expert. We're still trying to figure that out.
