Extra Points in Big Finish?

Apparently you can earn a lot more points in the Big Finish on the drums by mashing away at the ABYX buttons on the actual drums instead of just hammering away at the drums themselves.

This is a good technique for attempting to attain Gold Stars. (:

I don't know if this would be considered cheating though, but I don't think it should be.

...*points to my topic below* I already posted this idea...but yeah I'm pretty sure it works better.

Eh, what's the general consensus on this? If scores attained by playing songs with the buttons instead of the drum pads aren't allowed (which I'm not sure about), then I'd say using the buttons for ANY part of the song is wrong. If they are allowed, then obviously it's OK. I don't look highly on it, though. Play the way the game is meant to be played -- with the actual drums, not buttons.

I've actually been doing this for a while now, but if you're at a tournament it would definitely be a bad idea to button mash, considering you might get disqualified.

Meh, I tend to try to invent fills and actually play drums... it's more fun that way.

It won't really add up to much more with drums. Guitar, yes... drums, no.

Drums BRE is setup to allow only a certain number of points per (second/beat/whatever). If I hit five notes a second, I'll get 200 points per hit -- If I play 1 note a second, I'll get 1000 points per hit. It equates to the same.

The keys are: hit your first early; hit at a regular interval; hit your last late.
