People been asking for Rock Band 2 videos so here is one, Red Hot Chili Peppers “Tell Me Baby” FC/100%/5G* played by Neztech on Expert Drums.

Got this first try this morning, I have planned a FBFC of this song but I am unsure when that will be done. I’m going away on Friday for a week, might upload a bunch of videos as private and release them as the weeks go on.

I don’t care about star power/overdrive or w/e for this, I had only been up for like 10 mins so yeah… give me a break. And lol at my fills, I’m still half asleep This will probably be how my future videos look, I get better camera quality this way.

The Offspring “Hammerhead” played by Neztech on Rock Band 2 Expert Drums. Spoke to a bunch of people and it seems the common topic is more RB Expert Drum videos, this song was perhaps the most requested in that conversation so here is the FC.

If you where wandering, there is 6 songs I have taken note of from this conversation i have already done supreme girl, the feeling and now this!!
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
In my opinion one of the more fun and enjoyable charts on drums, seems odd not to have a video of this when I have already FCed it twice

A few of you may know I first got this FC before I went on holiday about 3 weeks ago but I didn’t record me playing. Again yesterday, I got this FC on Rock Band Stock drums which ed me off because I was not expecting it but it did make me want to make a vid for it.

Got on RB2 this morning and got the FC, chocked about 5 or 6 times in a row for some reason… this is the first time I have FC’d it on my custom kit. First FC was on WT Stock and second time was on RB Stock.

Oh yeah…. is it better with some drum sound?

A Day To Remember - Nj Legion Iced Tea [DLC] FC/100%/5G* played by Neztech on Guitar Hero World Tour Expert Drums.

This downloadable song has been licensed for playback within Guitar Hero: World Tour by Neversoft and Activision. For more information, view the list of licensed songs at the following link:
http://hub.guitarhero.com/index_us.html#/Music/LicensedMusic.

Tracks released on 7/9/09
Victory Track Pack (440 MSP or 160 MSP / $1.99 per track)

A Day to Remember “NJ Legion Iced Tea”
The Sleeping “Bomb the World”
Silverstein “I Am the Arsonist”

Okay so… this was a pretty random FC that took about 25 mins after downloading it. The only troubles I had with this song was finding a way to consistently play the yellow/red part that plays twice in the song. Once I learnt that, it was pretty simple. I had one run that i thought was 100% but i missed the first note lol… this was filmed maybe 10 mins after that. Would have been first FC for sure if i had realised it was out!!!

I guess this was requested by Toxiii, he is a RL friend and the person who let me know about the song!!!

Here are some ways to connect the MIDI output of your electronic drum kit to Rock Band:

1) Seth’s Adapter: http://dagware.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FDF54D7B666066FC!344.entry (upgradeable, flexible, programmable, multiple modes)

2) J5 9 Input: http://rockbandkickbox.com/store/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=13 (sexy, somewhat flexible, expensive, no multiple modes)

3) MIDI Rocker [LX]: http://www.bytearts.com/midi_lx/index.htm (programmable, somewhat flexible, multiple modes, expensive)

4) Guitar Hero: World Tour wireless drum kit (cheap & easy, no multiple modes, not flexible)

My videos emphasize playing the song correctly on a real drum kit over FC’ing the song on the stock kit.

My kit is a Roland with a TD-3 drum brain attached to my PS3 via a MIDI to USB adapter (see http://www.rockband.com/users/sethmeisterg/gallery/detail/U/3122209 for more info).

Unless otherwise noted, the following note to real drum mappings apply:

Red: snare
Yellow: closed hi-hat, small tom
Blue: ride, open hi-hat, secondary crash, medium tom
Green: primary crash, low tom

Note that the hi-hat is yellow when closed and blue when open even though it is difficult to see me raising it with my left foot. I try to play open hi-hat notes as they should be played wherever possible, but at times I may hit another blue pad if I’m not 100% familiar with the song. Also the hi-hat close trigger isn’t very sensitive, so you’ll see me miss some yellow (closed hi-hat) notes that follow blue notes (open hi-hat).

Rock Band maps the drum patterns for certain songs for gameplay over realism. I will attempt to make special note of situations where this happens. There is, however, one major case where this occurs, as follows:

On songs that call for double time hi-hat playing, Rock Band switches the hi-hat and snare such that the hi-hat is mapped to red and the snare is mapped to yellow. This is so that when you play the hi-hat with both hands alternating, your right hand can hit the snare on the beat, just as you would on a real drum set. This turns out to be a major inconvenience when playing on a real kit, however. Luckily, I am able to change the MIDI notes on my drum brain to switch the hi-hat to map to red and snare to map to yellow by pressing a button on it. (The MIDI adapter can also perform this function, but the brain is more accessible.)

In this Video I Will be showing you how to link your real electronic drums with Guitar Hero and Rock Band using the Guitar Hero drum kit in just 5 Steps.

If you have any questions about this video, please send me a message.

This isn’t the cheapest way to get a good reliable Guitar Hero drum kit but if you have an old electronic kit, this is a perfect idea.

Step 1:
- Get an Electronic Kit
- Make sure the drum kit module has a Midi output on it

Step 2:
- Get a Midi Cable
- Plug one end into the back of the Guitar Hero drum kit

Step 3:
- Plug the other end of the midi cable into the back of your drum kit module.

Step 4:
- Access the midi output configuration on your drum kit module
- Change the output of the chosen pads to represent the following…
- Green: 45
- Blue: 48
- Red: 38
- Yellow: 46
- Orange: 49
- Bass Pedal: 36

Step 5:
Have fun!!!

(The song at the end is System of a Down - B.Y.O.B.)

GH:WT System of a Down - B.Y.O.B. FC/5G*/100% played by Neztech on Guitar Hero World Tour Expert Drums.

All i can say is, I’m glad I got this recorded. This is probably my favourite song on GH:WT which made it that much better when I FCd it. Yeah, the SP was not used at the best moments but its still a full combo.

Unearth - Grave of Opportunity [DLC] FC/100%/5G* played by Neztech on Guitar Hero World Tour Expert Drums

This is from the FREE Metal DLC!!!! there is no excuse not to have this DLC :DThis pack also include:

The Devil Wears Prada “Dez Moines”
Chimaira “On Broken Glass”

Took me about half an hour this morning, I was getting pretty frustrated because I kept breaking combo trying to active star power, i actually got 100% 4 times in a row with star power over hits!!! playing world tour only reminds me of the star power activation problems from drummers OMG!!!!

May upload On Broken Glass and Dez Moines FC if I can put up with the ridiculous star power :(. I bought some Rock Band DLC this week including…

Escape The Fate “The Flood”
Devildriver “Clouds Over California”
All That Remains “Two Weeks”
…and about 5 more

May have some Guitar/Drum FC’s of them soon

Ozzy Osbourne - Bark At The Moon FC/5G*/100% played by Neztech on Guitar Hero Greatest/Smash Hits Expert Drums

I don’t care if you don’t think its hard, its AWESOME!!!! this is all I was in the mood for yesterday, took me about 20 minutes to get the FC. I would have done this Expert+ but as I said, I’m really not feeling the FC grinding ATM and I’m sure that would have taken a while. I have a few hard FC’s coming as well as a bunch from the start of the game.

After i FC’d this i moved a lot of things around in my room to create more space so in the videos to come there will be a new point of view, it will be from the right hand side and you should be able to see the television.
