I was wondering, I haven't tried any of the rock bands or guitar heroes, but was wondering... If you got the drumset, do the games play exactly how the games are played? I play the drums in real life and was wondering it it would translate as it should into the game. I tried it for 5 seconds in best buy and got boo'd off stage about a year ago, even though I was playing exactly how the drums went. (oh yeah, I don't suck. I was doing it how it was supposed to be)
Someone said that if you really play the drums that you need to put the settings on expert. Can anyone verify this? Thanks!
