Rock Band 2 Cheat Codes

To answer one of the most common questions (What pedal should I use without paying hundreds for a kick trigger?), for the money, I recommend the “Destroyer Pedal”, which gives zero double-hits, it’s metal, and it’s great for using heel-toe with. (Better than my DW5000, actually, due to DW’s short footboards.) You can get it at http://www.rockbandpedal.net/ Note: Only the Destroyer-D is compatible with GH:WT.

Officially Sponsored by http://www.rockbandparts.com – The best product, best warranty, best prices. PERIOD. Destroyer Pedal, ION Drums, and MORE!

First documented FC of Black Magic by Slayer! First of hopefully several Mayhem FCs. =)

FAQ
1. Do you play real drums too?
Yes, I do. I’ve been playing drums for a little over 5 years now, focusing mainly on trap set, with some limited hand percussion experience as well. Before I learned to play real drums, though, I also played Drummania, a drum simulation game made by Konami and part of the Bemani family of music games. It really got me interested in drums, I highly recommend it if you can find a machine near you.

2. What do you use to play Rock Band? Is your kit modded or something?
Please see the link above entitled “Info on my Drum Setup”. For Guitar Hero World Tour, I use the same drum kit, but run it through the WT stock kit’s MIDI port.

3. How much did your setup cost?
The Roland TD-6 SX-T that I use goes for around $2000 on Musician’s Friend, probably cheaper if you look on ebay or Craig’s List.

4. Wow, that’s a lot of money. You really spent $2k just to play Rock Band?
Nope, I bought the Roland kit months before Rock Band came out to do some recording and session work. I also badly needed a quieter way to practice drums in my apartment; an acoustic kit with silencers just wasn’t cutting it. It was just very good fortune that I already had the kit when people began discovering how to hook up MIDI kits to Rock Band.

5. Ok, but isn’t that kind of cheating? (UPDATED)
I suppose everyone will form their own opinions about this subject no matter what, but the official word right now is that it is not cheating. Posts on both ScoreHero and the Rock Band forums have been made about this mod, and both the ScoreHero mods, rockband.com mods, and Harmonix staff have ruled that this type of kit does not invalidate competitive scores. They have, in the past, ruled that any sort of double-bass pedal mod would invalidate such scores. However, since the release of the Guitar Hero: World Tour drum kit, it has become possible to use two stock bass pedals without any further modification besides a simple Y-splitter, and the kit can be used for World Tour and both Rock Band games. Accordingly, Scorehero now considers double-bass pedals legal and acceptable for competitive scores. For the record, I did use a double-pedal for certain sections of this video.

6. What do you use to record your videos?
For the direct-capture I use an Adaptec Gamebridge. You can get them from Amazon.com for between $30-$50 USD. For the external view I use an older Sony Handycam. (It still records on Digital-8s…)

7. Why do you usually only hit the bass pedal during the Big Rock Ending? Doesn’t that get you less points?
For an explanation of how the points gained from a BRE work, please see the description of my Run to the Hills Gold-star video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w_e0WzXVd4
Alternately, search the Technique forums at rockband.scorehero.com for in-depth explanations of BREs for both guitar and drums.

8. Can I add you as a friend/play Band Quickplay/Score Duel/hang out with you?
I’d love to! Unfortunately, I’m just one guy who also has a job, fiancee, and is a full-time college student. So, what little time I do have for Rock Band, I’m usually spending either working on Solo Tour, or playing with my ScoreHero band, More Cowbell! http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum/v…
As for the friend thing, XBL only lets me have 100 friends, and I reached that limit a long time ago, and it’s getting very full of people I either know in real life or am in frequent contact with on Scorehero, so it’s really not likely. =/ Sorry. Don’t be afraid to send me a message, though. I can’t promise I’ll respond the same day or even the same week, but I’ll do my best to get back to you.

I know I usually do FBFCs with Beast Mode since they are my band, and don’t worry we have not broken up… but Ryan (Negatiive) and Jadon (JPrez) still have red ring. Oscar (Santos) wasn’t on, and JP borrowed an xbox from his friend for the night. The three of us (Jake – tatwhiteguy, Jadon, and Nick – njo) were just playing for fun, picked this song, and got a FBFC first try. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Sorry to the people that were going for this, we didn’t mean to steal it or anything, it really was just a spur of the moment kind of deal. Jake is amazing – a lot of drummers have trouble FCing this in the first place, let alone the first try in a BQP! Make sure you go to subscribe to him if you like drummers.. he was (I think) the first RTTH DLC FC, or it was between him and someone else or something. Don’t remember.. all that matters is that he’s amazing! lol And I also love him because he and Oz (Santos) get along really well even though they are both super great and they don’t fight or compete or anything.

Oh yeah and I talked to Domo a few days ago for those of you that love Domo. Nick tried to get me to do some sweet editing thing on this video which I wanted to do, but I didnt have time since I have 3 tests this week and one is in about an hour.. and I haven’t started studying. Bad girl, I know. Oh well, maybe next time.

Also I have a break coming up from school soon so hopefully I’ll be able to make a new video for my other channel during that. As you all know, lazy Vix is lazy! Oh and I dyed my hair ;D Speaking of which.. I need to take a picture of that. OK I need to stop typing because in reality I’m just procrastinating from studying for the test I have. Love you guys!

So I though this would be an alright song to start off my new youtube account. Fun song to listen to but boreing to play.

Yes the OD path was bad but, what ever. I’ll fix that in later videos.

The drumset i’m using is the Rock Band 1 stock kit, with the Sock Mod. I will be getting my Rock Band 2 drumset soon.

Here is a link to the introduction on the Sock Mod:
http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3807

I’m also using the Rock Band 1 stock pedal. It snaped a while ago but i put a medal plating on it and wraped it with duck tape. It’s been holding out for some time now. But I orderd the Destroyer Pedal so I’ll be useing that.

Here’s a link to the Destroyer Pedal:

To contact me for whatever reason, E-mail me at Ablepsey@aim.com

To capture this video I used:
Dazzle DVC100 Video Device
Very good quality, not to exspensive, and easy to install.

And yes, I play drums in real life, been playing them for 4 years.

REALLY fun, somewhat challenging and short song, one of my favorites from the small selection of Audition-ready songs I have.

This took seven tries total, six of which i did in a row today, haha

Expect way more Audition/Rock Band Network songs in upcoming videos, as the majority of them are really fun/difficult. Most of them don’t have Overdrive charted either, so even with an FC i didn’t gold this.

You won’t be able to find this song on Rock Band publically yet: it’s a chart that http://www.youtube.com/user/doodlebroSH made for the song. If you want it, you gotta go subscribe to him.

How do you get it on Rock Band? Just check this video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2pL4wvoP4M

And i’ve got http://www.youtube.com/malcolmgetscrazy to thank for this video, since he’s the one who linked me to that video up there explaining how to get XNA.

The drumset i’m using is a “GoodWoods” set, a sturdy, quiet, responsive set with great rebound: you can get it at http://www.goodwoodmods.com/

I’m using the “Destroyer Pedal” in this video, which is great for zero double-hits, it’s metal, and it’s great for using heel-toe with. You can get it at http://www.rockbandpedal.net/

Also check out http://www.rockbandparts.com – The best product, best warranty, best prices. PERIOD.

And yes, I play drums in real life, been playing them on and off for 5 years.

In 1982, for some misguided marketing reason, Capitol Records reissued the two-LP live set Rock Of Ages as two separate LPs. If you happen to buy only Vol. 2, you get live Band treatments of such Band classics as “The Weight,” “The Shape I’m In,” and “Life Is A Carnival,” plus Garth Hudson’s extended organ improvisation, “The Genetic Method” (the introduction to “Chest Fever”) and a version of Chuck Willis’s “(I Don’t Want To) Hang Up My Rock And Roll Shoes.” But you’re better off with the whole thing.
