The Universal Excuse
by John on Mar.03, 2009, under Main Stuff
Up until recently I’ve stuck to guitar and bass while playing Rock Band, mostly because the drums are a bit unfamiliar to me, but also because I did not seem to have much luck with the instrument. My coordination appeared insufficient to master the task of banging on things in some semblance of rhythm. However, I have since discovered that there may have been another reason why I had done so poorly, and it’s what I call the “universal excuse”: blaming the equipment. Yeah, my drums were still crap, even after the ordeal of returning them the first time.
It should be noted that I now no longer have that problem– the combination of some timely coupons and the remainder of a gift card meant that I was able to pick up the RB2 drums, and those work flawlessly. No double-hits, no misses when you KNOW you hit it… they just work.
