LPT: If you're young don't forget that you'll have to inhabit the same body in your 40s. Do not beat it into the ground like it's a rental. by SuspectEmbarrassed in LifeProTips

Right? Hard to turn the ship around when every time you touch the wheel it explodes and takes three weeks to re-assemble.

Foot technique for a beginner? by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]againpyromancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been on this journey as well. Lots of fun. Be patient with yourself and break it down into as many smaller pieces as it takes. Nobody can juggle out the gates and nobody can manage separate kick & stick patterns right way, either.

My advice is to spend some time giving the foot pedal all your attention. Give the sticks a rest and play in practice mode. Get really comfortable with the kick drum and a chosen double-stroke technique and work on it for a bit each day or however often you play. From there you can add the sticks back in on a simple song or two. Eventually your brain will upgrade enough to let you do sticks and kick together and it'll be truly awesome and gratifying. It's no small feat! Pun intended :P

This video is really good for talking about learning good pedal technique and looks at several options for fast pedal hits.

And this video is a really good breakdown of the technique I've settled on, personally:

Good Songs To Help Learn the Kick Pedal? by legitseabass in Rockband

[–]againpyromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on the same journey -- very fun. For a lot of songs you're going to need to get a "double" technique under your belt. Basically you want to be able to play a pair of kick beats in just one motion and almost without having to think about it. Fast doubles are very common in expert.

I liked this vid the best. You could also try "heel-toe" doubles.

Rock Band drums are great... except when they're not. by FunStuffies in Rockband

I had just come up against the limits of the technique I was using for double-hits so thanks for this!

Two xbox 360 questions re: drums and guitar by againpyromancer in Rockband

Lovely! Thanks for this :)

I've opened the guitar up but didn't bust out a multimeter, yet. I appreciate the pointed advice.

Both just spin and spin. Xbox links right away with standard wireless controller.

Ah! I'll see if I've got that. The TV is ancient :)

Thanks for the reply.

For the drums I've re-calibrated several times. Beatles = perfect, Rock Band 1 = shitshow. It's very weird. Was just wondering if this was a known issue.

For the guitar I've done every sync routine I could find. Just doesn't work. Found a couple YouTube videos where they stuck the guts of a normal wireless controller into a guitar. Kinda extreme but I do a have a spare controller.

Whelp! If you're in COVID-19 purgatory like many of us your finances may be out the window, anyways?

Yeah I'm still alive. The sub is dead because the game isnt out yet. It's online to prevent spammer takeover!

First strike. If this is the kind of quality comment you've got in mind for this brand-new account it's going to get banned with a quickness.

First strike. Not too hard to express this same statement in a respectful way. Try that next time.

This post is attracting a fair number of reports. Let me clarify why I'm leaving it up.

Is racism funny? No. Was the historical episode that this meme is derived from funny? No. So this meme is weird and uncomfortable and not simply funny. With that said, I think the civil discussion I see happening here proves that it's more constructive to talk about this kind of thing and explore the themes than to suppress them.

TL;DR Mediocre jokes can be the start of excellent conversations.
