I had another frustrating weekend last weekend, because my fiancee and I are still looking for wedding venues and haven't found a place that we really love, but doesn't cost a ton of money to rent.  Both of us had the blahs last night, so I decided to play some Rock Band drums to blow off some steam (drums are easily my weakest instrument).

If anyone's played Pretend That We're Dead, you'll remember that there are 5-6 drum fills at the end, where you run down the pads while keeping time with the foot pedal.  I suck at those, but I actually hit them!  Then there were some sets of 16th notes in the next song...and I hit those, too!  I NEVER hit those!  Despite myself, I felt really proud of myself for making that breakthrough.  Next up, DRUM ROLLS!!!

A bit of anger is the key to success for some drummers. :D

Congrats on that!

Drums is the most satisfying instrument, if you know what you are doing. It is nice to see that you don't always have to know what you are doing to succeed ;) Glad you had fun.

Looking for a cheap venue?  I hear the rates are dropping in Pakistan, especially the rural areas

Drums kick ass. Easily my favorite instrument to play on Rock Band, and it makes up for not having a real drum set to play...

...sort of.

You're getting married, and you're talking about Rock Band!?

Yeah, when you do stuff in Rock Band you never could before and feel that you're getting better, it feels good.
