My wheels in Constant Motion...
Player Chronicle -- Posted on May 25 2009
Well, I'm giving my 100 percent expert Panic Attack vocals goal a tiny bit of a break...Now I'm dedicating myself on a new goal. Not saying that Panic Attack is forgotten, that won't happen, I will get it someday...However I am focusing on just PASSING Constant Motion on drums (on expert of course).
So far the farthest I've gotten was around 79 percent...that's when it hit me! I need a second bass pedal for this game! So hopefully the one I ordered from Game Stop doesn't suck...The reason for a second pedal is because while I can sometimes nail them, I keep missing vital bass notes that are extremely close together.
Now I can hit them in on a real drum kit, but the Rock Band sensors don't pick up my second hits because I don't raise my foot high enough, however on a real drum kit I don't lift my foot any higher, but it's the power I put behind it that makes it loud enough to make up for it.
I'm confident that my left foot can do it's job for Constant Motion due to it's experience with the hi-hat pedal. Also theres a part where there's 4 or 5 (depending on the section) bass notes with a cymbal in there that I do the same thing with the quick ones, I don't lift my foot high enough. So that should help a lot!
However there's the synth solo still...It's full of quick double bass notes along with hi-hats, then hi-hat snares...Oh gawd just the thought of it...Mike Portnoy you sir are a god!
Anyway, I won't give up! My goal is (hopefully) realistic. I want this song beat by August 21 when my dreams finally come true and I get to MEET AND GREET DREAM THEATER! That's right I finally get to meet Mr. Portnoy himself! I'm so excited that I'm being driven harder at everything I do, weather it be at work, drumming, Rock Band, other gaming, listening, thinking, I'm doing it all with more effort! I had no idea that I could ever be so motivated! It just feels so great!
Anyway if you read this far, I'd just like to tell you that this whole experience reminds me of Mike's touching story in which I'll leave you the most important words.
Carpe Diem
