My exploits on the world’s best rhythm game

A little more drumming fun

Posted by Elvis on August 13, 2008

So I got home from work and decided to play some drums. First I decided to play Dream Theater’s Constant Motion some more to see if I could get my score up. I may have been a bit premature in yesterday’s prediction but you never know. I played it 4 more times, failing once (just got really off during the really fast part) and ended up increasing my score a pretty good bit during one run. I didn’t get to 90% yet but my set is really not doing well. It makes it really hard to tell if I am missing the note or my pad is missing it. My red pad misses maybe 20% of the time and my yellow pad has a crack in it. I don’t think I will play drums anymore until I get my new set. Of course i said that yesterday, so well see.

I really, really like this song so I can see myself reaching my goal of 5 stars but it might take some time. I normally don’t have the attention span to dedicate to a song and play it over and over. This one is very fun to play though so I don’t get bored as quickly as i normally do. I added over 27,000 points and 5% which is great, but i am very happy that I was able to pretty much double my note streak. Feel free to laugh at my kitchen chair as my drum throne :)

After Constant Motion for some reason I decided to give Disturbed’s Indestructible a run on expert drums. Not this best idea on my broken set but I do love playing this song as well. I can pass this song pretty much every time but do have trouble keeping a combo during the chorus. I have gotten a little better since the last time I played this so I had hoped to get a better run, but only increased my score by a few hundred. I don’t know if I will ever be able to 5 star this one but it sure is fun to play, and a hell of a work out to boot.

I hope to get to some guitar or vocals tonight if the olympics are boring.

Keep on rocking,
