Bang the Drum Slowly

Dec 03, 2007 13:26

I will make a brief acknowledgment that EA made good on its promise to replace the wonky kit quickly. The new pads performed well against my, er, quality control testing. Now it is just a matter of packing up the old pads and sending them back.

While I did not have an abundant stockpile of the fourth dimension in which I could lavish on the new gear, I did play enough to get a sense of my aptitude. My drumming skills need a little work. It is one thing to have a sense of rhythm. It is an entirely different thing trying to set three separate parts of anatomy to function in an independent, yet correlated cadence.

I have also noticed that the slower speeds of the easier levels can be more of a detriment than the guitar. Anticipating notes is always a problem, but I find tuning out extra percussion harder than tuning out the guitar fills. Once I feel a little more coordinated with the kit placement, I'll put that theory to the test on the harder difficulties.

Until next time. Keep on rocking.
