Completed expert drum tour

Well, I just completed the expert drum tour. Currently ranked 4th on the leaderboards. And I still have the bonus songs to do!

I guess it doesn't hurt that I've been playing drums for 12 years and have a college degree in music performance (percussion).

More to come!

Huge congrats! Did you manage to fix the red pad, or did playing on the rim work for you?

I really have to send in my drumset - I mean, I'm nowhere near as good as you guys (that kick drum just throws me completely), but it is very frustrating when you're breaking combo when it's NOT your fault

This is the only negative thing I've seen about Rock Band so far - the drums have major issues

Ummm... my drum set works fine?

I'd send it over to one of you or something, since I totally suck.

I saw Gurn do a drum roll at all levels of pressure (hard hits, light) on a long string of red notes and it didn't count any of them no matter what. Like, literally none of them. But it sort of worked if he drummed on the rim of the drum! As soon as he hit the rim it counted 90% of them. It seems like the red drum doesn't like to respond to quick hits. I don't know why it counts on normal hits and not fast. He said he had the same issue on his own drum pads too. I've heard a lot of people say this. Maybe all the red pads are messed up like that. I heard you can use medical tape in a cross on the pad to hold it down lower and it'll work much better. Need to try that.

Nope, the red pad is still not to my liking, and I'm not playing on the rims.

I did try putting some tape over the red one, but this was after I'd completed the expert tour. It works a little better, but still nowhere near as sensitive as I'd like it. I still need to experiment with it. (ghozt, I'm having the exact same problem as you - some othetr pads are reacting)

Quick question: When I go to look at scores for some specific songs, it says I'm not ranked. Now, does that mean that I'm not in the top 2000ish, or that it just didn't pick up my score?

And furthermore, if it didn't pick up my score for that individual songs, does it still add to my career score (I'm assuming it does)?

I think it might not rank you if you played the song on release day. The leaderboards weren't working on day 1, and none of my scores from then are saved on it.
