[i]For example everyone cooks at one time or another. I cook professionally im a chef but it doesn’t mean that people who don’t cook for a living can’t cook. There are people who cook better than me and they have never done it professionally or have been trained.[/i]

Great comment. A “Rock Band drummer” will never have the well-rounded playing style of a professional drummer, but you do get many of the basic technique and ideas.

If someone PURELY rely on Rock Band the game and do no other research such as proper technique, fills, etc (highly unlikely if you enjoy and invest a fair amount of hours into RB drumming), then they will probably end up with terrible posture, technique, etc, even if they can FC tough RB-Expert-level songs.

It’s similar to someone who buys a Drum Kit and jumps into it without research. A person who bothers to read up and practice the correct techniques and incorporates it into his RB playing can turn out to be a semi-decent drum player, even if he’ll never be world-class.

I don’t know…I have an electric Drum kit and have been playing Drums for about 12 years. I got Rock Band last year for parties and although Rock Band isn’t “the real thing” (no Duh) it’s pretty darn close. Yes, the set up is very different from a real kit and there’s no sheet music but, its a heck of a blast.

I recommend it to anyone interested in at least trying the Drums before they spend 1000′s on a real kit and decide that drumming isn’t for them.

It isn’t a point of if its realistic or not .. Quite frankly I think anyone who bought it realizes that its just a video game. The point is that it lets you enjoy the music yourself if you never played an instrument. Just because a lot of you have real life experience with drums doesn’t mean that you’re better than someone who plays rockband. They are entirely different things. For example everyone cooks at one time or another. I cook professionally im a chef but it doesn’t mean that people who don’t cook for a living can’t cook. There are people who cook better than me and they have never done it professionally or have been trained. I play rockband drums for a few years now and I enjoy it very thoroughly & would like to try the real thing. Does it make me a drummer ? No. Does it mean you have the right to ridicule me for enjoying this game? Absolutely not. Maybe you should focus more on the fact that this game makes people want to learn the art of drumming instead of being a condescending bunch of pricks.

Funny thing… I have never played the drums before in my entire life, however after playing the rock band drums I got pretty good at it on rock band. A friend of mine got a real drum set and started playing along with it to the game rock band. I tried it and after one night I actually started doing ok. I got basic drum beats down, and incorporated a little other flashy stuff. So I think with some practice, I could be pretty good at the drums. I have found an instrument I could really really get into, and be good at it. Now granted it will take some time though.:)

Rockband “drummers” cant be real drummmers. It takes more that just hitting the note at the right time. Dynamics and technique is everything!
