Quick “Rock Band 2” Review
Yesterday, I got up and played Rock Band 2 from around 8am until 10pm, with a few breaks to eat. I still have a lot to unlock. My roommates were gone, so I played the whole thing Solo — which is a great new feature. World Tour can be played alone, and since I’m pretty…
Some news about the Rock Band ION drumkit
As I’ve mentioned before, I have an electric Yamaha drumkit, and I would love to use it with Rock Band (my RB drums are pretty messed up now). Since the ION kit uses 1/4″ plugs, I was hoping I could just buy their brain and use my pads with it. I started a thread about…
Rock Band: 5-starred Blackened! (expert drums)
I really didn’t expect to do that; I guess it’s all thanks to my new pedal. I still need work on Kool Thing, Hammerhead, The Perfect Drug, and a few others. I added some of my high scores to ScoreHero, and will add more later. I’ve also been trying to raise my career score, and…
The Best Rock Band pedal, 5-starred Disturbed Expert Drums
I haven’t been able to play Rock Band for the last week and a half because our 360 Red Ringed. Luckily, a friend came over today and brought his Xbox, so we swapped HDDs, bought some new songs, and played for a while. I’ve been really wanting to play the MTV pack, and now the…
This picture speaks for itself.
No, I don’t care about Gold Starring it! Now that my drums are working almost perfectly, I’m trying to raise some of my scores. I just re-calibrated Rock Band, because it still felt off. I tried harder this time and tested it, and it really felt like it made a difference. I basically have to…
Podcast #2 – Rock Band Drum Mods (Tommy Gun + Mojo)
There are a whole bunch of mods that can be, and should be, done to the Rock Band drums if you’re serious about playing. How do you increase the sensitivity? How do you dampen the noise? What about that crappy bass pedal that always breaks? We discuss all of these things, and the different solutions…
The Rock Band Drum “In-between Sock Mod” (guide now up)
The Rock Band Drum “In-between Sock Mod” Here’s a little guide I wrote for a Rock Band drum mod (based off of another mod). It’s working great for me, but I’d love to get more feedback on it. If you try it, let me know how it works!

Review: “Rock Band” Part 1: hardware, difficulty, modes
Note: we have it for the Xbox 360. Each person needs to be signed into an Xbox profile (it can be the same one). Some things may be a bit different on PS3. I started writing this review right after getting the game, two months ago, and have since added to it. There is so…
AN-I-MAL!!
I finally beat the last Expert drum song. I would have done it much sooner, but the final song, “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” has tons of bass notes towards the end (plus we’ve been playing TONS of BWT mode). If I had a real bass pedal, it wouldn’t have been a problem at all, but…
