Congrats on this, well deserved. This has helped me improve a bit in my drumming, i.e. passing Bad Rep, etc. so I have no regrets. I have a comment/question though.

How did you two(Kawigi and sunfun) improve so fast? I mean did you already start on my level? Just a week or two ago Kawigi you could barely pass SttP, now you're talking about 5 starring it soon. Reason I ask is that I've been drumming since last June roughly, and am just now starting to gold star EASY songs. There's no doubt I'm improving every day, posting 1000 pts progress here, there, so on, but not nearly so fast as either of you did.

Did you just take harder parts into practice mode and grind? Were you playing 8 hours a day? I'm just curious, I joined this rivalry out of frustration of not being able to be pro at drums after playing them for a year, and progress has definitely been made, but not nearly so much as you guys have made progress. Big props to both of you for your stellar improvement by the way.

I think it would be a shame if we didn't keep tracking scores and improvements, after all Cweaver joined later and numbers has hardly had any time to improve. In other news I passed shoulder to the plow, the day after I got my wisdom theeth out =D

Well if we're still tracking I better get back to grinding. I've been band quickplaying online and find that I'm getting the highest percentages on most songs. Didn't used to happen before... I got a 90% on Colony of Birchmen for example.

*Pokes Kawigi*
Are you still there man? It's been three days since You've last updated the thread. This is the longest amount of time you have taken to do so. You have been a great stat coordinator and without you, this idea never would have been formed, but THIS THING IS STILL GOING ON AND WE NEED YOU TO KEEP IT GOING!!!!! You're like the person pushing the small child on a swingset that has no legs so they can't swing by themself, and theres 3 kids, possibly more to come, that NEED you for this rivalry! We need you to push us on the swing, or else no one has any fun.

The above was made out of boredom and half chewed-up humor, however, it would be nice if the OP was changed =-)

In short, it would be great if you realized that this is not over just because I got 14 golds in one day, I still consider you a much better and more consistant drummer at passing songs, as proven by your Teenage Riot 5* and your near SttP 5*, so please, don't let this amazing idea die!

Sorry, I just thought since the rivalry was won I thought this thread would end and possibly restart in a different form. But thats cool if it keeps going.

First progress in a long time here. I finally 5 starred Tangled Up in Blue, and I FCed Any Way You Want It in band quickplay. So I'll post that as a gold star as soon as I decide to play it solo again. I've played that song so much recently that I'm rather sick of it.

I have videos of a little random solo quickplay that I did today, including my 5 star TUIB run, which I'll post as soon as I edit them and upload to youtube.
