    So, fun story

    I was in town tonight and needed a cigarette lighting, so I asked a girl nearby. We started talking and it turns out she was in a band who needed a drummer.

    Now I don't lie (often), but my only experience with drumming is in Rock Band.

    I told her I could drum.

    I've now been invited to join her band. Bollocks. I just listened to them on the Internet and they're pretty good. Bollocks.

    How can I fake my way through this?

    Assuming you don't have a real set to practice on, practice on the Rock Band pads as much as you can.
    As a real drummer, I'd say if you can play some of those songs on expert, you can fake it on the real thing, so long as it's just basic rock and not prog or something. The real problem is if they assume you're providing the drum set.

    Good luck man.

    "Ok, bring your drum set and meet us at 8."

    "Uh, my drum set's in the...shop...the drum shop."

    "Oh well Jakey's got a spare I guess you can use that."

    Later

    "All right well here's the sheet music, let's see what you can do."

    "...these aren't color coded at all."

    "What?"

    "Uh...welp, I'm screwed."

    Depends on whether or not you know that Thunderstruck was primarily the first song they played whilst on the tour supporting The Razors Edge (from which the live tracks have been taken).

    So I finally got around to getting the RB2 drums to replace my crappy RB1 kit (yay TRU sale!) and decided to pick up the cymbal pack to go with them. I got a two-cymbal pack, because that was the only type of pack I could find.

    One of the cymbals flat-out doesn't work, and both of them slowly slide down the drum legs that they're affixed to as they get hit until they fall off entirely. They're the shoddiest peripherals I've bought since... well, since the last time I bought something made by Mad Catz. Perhaps I should have known better.

    1) How does it not work? Is it not registering hits? Is it double hitting? You have to play with the tightening screw to find its "sweet spot". Also, the closer you hit to the screw the more likely it is to fault.

    2) Grab some scotch tape, and wrap it around the bottom of the cymbal post. Scotch tape acts as a much better resistor to rubber than aluminum does.

    It does not register any hits. At all. No matter how much I adjust it. The other cymbal is attached the same way and works perfectly. It's broken.

    Couldn't you try plugging that one cymbal into one of the other jacks to see if it isn't the jack itself?

    I did that, of course. It's the cymbal. I'm returning it as soon as the roads aren't under the like two feet of snow that just came down.

    You can't go abbreviating songs, man. No one calls Stairway to Heaven "StH", it's just Stairway to Heaven or Stairway.

    I was always wondering what would happen on Scorehero or something though if we ever got the Foo Fighters DOA.

    So, I got it for the Wii yesterday.... YAY!


    The Guitar Hero Guitar works with it (double YAY!), but since I have the old RB drums and such, I dunno if other GH:WT instruments work....


    Fun stuff though.... Doesn't look like they've turned on the Wii Music Store store... :( Also trying to figure out if I did indeed get it early or not... Everything and everyone started selling the thing as they received em' yesterday, but in the game it self there's a "Wii Prerelease Battle" which goes on to say how lucky we are for getting the gam eearly, and says there's two days left in the competition... Curious... But since there's like a thousand people in there I don't feel bad....

    Fun stuff though, I remember someone saying that Jonathan Coulton had a song in the music store, this still true?
