Guys, I need some serious help. There are tons of DLC songs that i love to play (most notably Prequel To The Sequel), but i have to settle for playing them in practice because I can't do the blasts. Tips, exercises, ANYTHING? |

The PttS blasts are triplets if that changes anything. They are very fast, so you need to be able to play pretty fast on a triplet rhythm. I think if they were eighths or sixteenths then it would be a lot easier.
Another tip is that the part after the blasts where it goes like BBBBBB B+R BBB is the same speed as each pad hit and the pedal during the blasts. Hope that helps because it's really all the help there is. |

You can put the No Fail cheat on to play it in Quickplay if you want to use overdrive, etc. |

A common piece of advice I see floating around for Prequel to the Sequel Drums, in terms of "How can I pass it", is to only hit every third bass pedal note during the blasts (Meaning: Hit only the pedal that is on-beat). It seemed to work fairly well when I was over at my friend's house and he played it. _________________

No wonder I've failed that song so many times. I just played it as 16ths. |

My tips. Treat them like a roll with a bass hit on every right hand hit, cause that's basically what it is. Focus on the yellows/blues and try to get the bass to sync with it. The reds inbetween with your left will come with time. You also need A LOT of stamina or you will fall behind. _________________

What does it mean, that they're triplets? I thought I understood what triplets were, and I've been playing these as 16ths, but does that mean I should be alternating betweenBO-R-BO and R-BO-R? |

I'll try to explain:
The PttS 'rolls' are triplet 'rolls', so instead of a 'da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da" pattern, there's a "da-da-da, da-da-da" pattern, like the Foreplay rolls. _________________

so how does knowing that theyre triplets help exactly. My problem is i understanding how fast to go. if i can get an idea of basically what roll it could be compared to exactly as far as speed, then i could get a better idea of how fast i should or shouldnt be going. |

It's pretty similar to the beginning of Souls of Black, just add a red note in between, and a kick on, each blue. A triplet is just 3 notes that take up the same duration as 2 of the same note _________________

My main tip is, THOSE BLUES AFTER THE YR BLAST ARE THE SAME SPEED.
Also, 2 feet 1 pedal helped me a ton, I went from passing it once with1 foot now I am like 10k from GS. Blasts are just like rolls but on different pads. _________________

Count the yellows as 1-tri-plet/2-tri-plet/3-tri-plet etc etc etc to get the idea.
If you're playing them as 16ths, you're playing them at two-thirds the speed you should be. If you're familiar with the expert guitar chart, the bass+Y's are at exactly the same rate as the strumming in that part.
Knowing this, I still can't pass it. It's like it just "shuts off" and nothing registers. _________________
