I'm not sure if this thread fits here, but it seems like the best place for it.
I'm just wondering if any of you guys have played the Rockband drums, and if so, what do you think of them?
I've thought about it a fair bit, and here's the benefits I've noticed:
- Increased ability to fill on time.
- Increased single-stroke and double-stroke ability.
- Increased coordination.
- Increased endurance simply from playing it so much.
- Increased exposure to new drumming styles and fills which is helped out by the visual representation of the drums patterns. (this has had the most prominent effect on my playing)
At the very least, if you're gonna spend time playing a video game instead of practicing drums, it might as well be on a game that helps practice drumming techniques.
Let me know what you guys think.
