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!

Good Mourning/Black Friday Gold-star – Rock Band 2 X Drums

Posted on 10th February 2009 by admin in rock band 2 cheat codes - Tags: band, black, drummer, Drums, Expert, friday, game, gold, good, guy, megadeth, mourning, rock, some, someguy, someguy913, star, video

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/

First documented gold-star of Good Mourning/Black Friday by Megadeth!
Dubbed “the hardest rock band chart” by none other than azuritereaction, this one was definitely very difficult. (Though I still disagree that it’s actually the hardest… I don’t really think any song has decisively earned that title.)

Big thanks to creep from my stream for encouraging me to go after this gold by dangling $20 in front of me. XD

FAQ
1. Do you play real drums too?
Yes, I do. I’ve been playing drums for a little over 4 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”.

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?
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, however, ruled that any sort of double-bass pedal mod would invalidate such scores. For the record, I use a single pedal.

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=dPGiIZq93hE
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, girlfriend, 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/viewtopic.php?t=2576
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.

YYZ FC – Rock Band 2 Expert Drums

Posted on 27th September 2008 by admin in rock band 2 cheat codes - Tags: band, drummer, drumming, Drums, Expert, guy, hero, neil, peart, rock, Rush, score, scorehero, some, someguy, someguy913, yyz

1st documented FC of YYZ and current 1st place score! Happened so fast. O.o

Yes, I know the video skips toward the end. My computer doesn’t have very much RAM and must’ve lagged during recording, making it “jump ahead” to catch up. Nothing difficult was skipped anyway, and the results screen is still at the end of the song, so there would be no reason to splice or otherwise edit anyway. Still, I’m sure some of you will still post something along the lines of “LOLH4X! GTFO Cheatr!” I’m used to it by now. =/

They have, however, ruled that any sort of double-bass pedal mod would invalidate such scores. For the record, I use a DW5000 single pedal.

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=dPGiIZ…
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, girlfriend, 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.

9. Fag. Get a life.
Please phrase all insults in the form of a question. Also, see question #8.
