I ROCK!
Well GOD DAMN.
For those that don't know the game, the songs range from Beginner to Nightmare. This is a general difficulty of the song that you can then fine tune for your own enjoyment from Easy to Expert. Nightmare songs are (generally) DAMNED HARD. On Expert, the drum tracks are literally 1 to 1, meaning you hit every beat you would on a real drum kit. I have wanted to play drums my whole life but have never had the space for them. Rock Band gave me at least a little of that dream.
Been playing Rock Band since launch. Played drums on Easy for the first three days. Moved to Medium and sat their for about 6 months before moving to Hard. Been playing on that most of the time. Once in awhile, I bump it up to Expert just to see if I'm there yet. Well, tonight, I did a couple moderately hard songs on Expert with good results. A couple of songs that whipped me on Hard were even passed. So I'm browsing by difficulty and finally hit the Nightmare songs. One in particular I enjoy a lot. Disturbed-Down With the Sickness. I've played it and beat it on Hard. But tonight...I felt warmed up and ready to take on anything. So I did it. Expert. And I got 4 out of 5 stars with about 90% accuracy. Considering the song is built for double bass and I have a single foot pedal, I feel pretty damned good!
