Maps (Rock Band Expert Drums 5 Star)

Friday, November 14th, 2008

read this first please:
check out my other videos too if you get the chance, Rock Band is just a hobby, but I make music videos and other such stuff as a part-time job, so the extra views/comments are appreciated.
people are asking me the same questions over and over, so reading this should help answer a lot of the generic ones. Still, I appreciate the comments/views and stuff, don’t get me wrong.
(my gamertag = sskitzzo)
This is still with my shitty set; i’ll be getting a new one shortly, hopefully, but there are noticable pad misses in this video. Only my 2nd time ever playing this also, so there’s still room for improvement in that area too.
By the way, if you want to know how to do the “notes on the screen” effect; There’s a lot of tutorials on the web for this kind of stuff with After Effects, and the best site i’ve ever been to for them (which i visit frequently) is www.videocopilot.net ; they’ve got a ton of tutorials, and even a basic training series of videos for the After Effects beginner, and all of it’s free. and no, i’m not getting paid to plug thier site, i really just reccomend it hahaha
And yes, I play drums in real life, have been for 4+ years, so the people going on about “play a real instrument”, no, sorry, I do play real drums.
