One of the best games ever made.  I'm already an expert drummer/guitarist.  Drums are the most fun to play, by far.

Wish they'd have more songs though.

We played for about 8 hours straight and my hand was about to die (bass guit.)

Pfft.  Everyone who's ever seen this (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail36.html) is probably a better player than I am that by now that's got to be pretty much the entire Internet.

I wasn't a big fan, actually. Didn't mind it; just didn't get all orgasmic like everyone else about it.

My roomates and I bought the Police, Queens of the Stone Age, and Stone Temple Pilots packages off of the Playstation store, along with a few other songs.  So there's more songs available if you're willing to drop a few bucks.

I absolutely hate the way the drums are set up like quads, with the hi-hat being second from left.  I also hate the bass pedal, though the mods people have made for this pedal frickin' rocks and makes the drum set much more bearable.

Went to a lan party last night, we had 3 seperate rooms for Rock Band.  There were some really good peeps there.  They actually had a Rock Band Championship playing foreplay/long time (Boston).  The first band sounded/played great.  The second band...not so much.

These guys are so serious about Rock Band that they bring in mic stands w/aerosmith scarf, drum thrones with their modded out drum kit and huge sound system setup.

 :thumbsup:  It was fun to watch while I was running the wiitennis tournament/watching the Brawl tournament too.  (Brawl kicks major ass, tournament feature on there also kicks major ass too).

I remember making the jump from medium to hard, and getting my ass handed to me. (I did this sneakily so no one noticed when we started)

Then, getting laughed at.

Humiliation.  :-[

Amazing game. Those guys in front of us were pretty livid near the end, but then considered it a moral victory.

I was great at the drums until I got a HD TV.  now not so much and i've tried recalibrating everything.

LCD TV?  I had a hard time getting my 360 calibrated with the tv too but just took some time and finally got it right, it did take some fine tuning though.

One thing I would fix in "Rock Band 2" is the drum noise.  The noise of the drum stick hitting the rubber fake drum is much louder than the noise generated by the game IMO.  No matter which drum you hit it all sounds the same.  Will they address this issue in Rock Band vol. 2?

I just can't get in to RB, and I've really tried!  After playing guitar for the last 7 years (and I'm no clapton by any means) it just annoys the hell out of me to try and play some fake instrument.  I'll give it another try when the next one comes out.

you can manually adjust the volume of each instrument, meaning you can crank up your drums volume without cranking up the other instruments and it should help.

I've seen alot of people put felt covers over the drum pads to soften the noise.  even went as far as color matching them.
