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. It isn’t a point of if its realistic or not ..

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.:) 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.

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

I mean, rock band requires drummers to follow a series of on-screen prompts, whereas many real drummers often do not "read" any sort of pattern. I'm guessing there would be a real issue with improv. and syncopation. Also, if the feel is different it's because real musicians can set their own pace, whereas rock band requires that the drummer follow a fixed speed. It's not always healthy to "go with the gravity" all the time, it becomes habit forming. I know some guitarists who, because of constant imitation of rhythm patterns, cannot strum without following the drummer (down stroke - bass, up stroke - snare) and get trapped in the pattern.
