    Theirs definetly nowt up with the EL euro drumkit. I couldnt get into drums on USA PS3 kit, started tonight for one quick go when finished a session with m8 (was on med bass as Im crap) and thought Id have a quick 10mins on easy drums to test em that their ok, 2hours later and I had to tear myself off em, bloody love em and my nickname from primary school Animal from the muppet show is coming back to haunt me. This set is uber responsive and can see me getting into drums more than guitar now.

      Yeah, my drums and guitar are awesome.

      I saw comments saying that the stratocaster is rubbish on youtube etc, i love it!! Was doing the Solo section to Blackened on expert earlier on and got 86%ish using the solo buttons and one hand, amazingly fun stuff.

      Also, my drums are really responsive. I was at my friends last friday having a go of his, and he was showing me his red drum with and without a sock on, without it on he hit it with a roll, only showed about 3 notes hit, put it on and there were like 20 notes hit lol.

      Only thing wrong with mine is my guitar makes a rattling sound like there's something loose inside don't wana open it up though...

        Mine does the same, I've read it's the sensor bar.

          I've changed my opinion on this now. I don't like it. Well, I would, but it's faaaar too easy to hit five stars on medium, and I find myself getting a bit bored by the end of a song when you hit five stars half way through, it doesn't feel like there's anything to play for

            Is it worth picking up solus just to play guitar (using the x-plorer) ?

            I have no room for drums and frankly need the money for my holiday.

              It's not 5 stars you want to be going for it's 5 gold stars which means you need to get pretty close to 100% and get off medium and on to expert ya pansy.

                Lol, I was trying to unlock all the songs in quick play, and I can only get about 2/3rds of the way through hard before it beats me on GH, so normal was the only option! It was well easy though. I'll be on hard next time I play with my guitar and see how far I can get...

                  The general consensus is that RB is quite a bit easier than GH - seems you definately need to crank it up!

                    In general, (for guitar at least), RB is easier (or at least more forgiving) than GH. But when it's hard, it's hard. Stick it on expert and have a go on Blackened/Ride The Lightning/Screaming For Vengence/etc. for a much better challenge than anything GH threw at you.

                      Anyone have an opinion on this? I like the tracklist & I have a GH3 guitar - but also a 1 month old baby, so drums are a no no :/

                      Comment


                        Definitely. As much fun as the drums are, I've found myself mainly playing guitar since I got the game in January, and I still rarely play any other games at all. Definitely worth picking up for the guitar alone.

                          Excellent - thanks Keith; and the GH3 wireless guitar definitely works with it?

                            Can't promise you that - I'm playing the PS3 version with the RB guitar. If the Xplorer works with it (as everyone keeps saying it does) then I can't see any reason why not - the only thing is you obviously don't get the solo buttons or the effects switch, but I've never used either of those on the RB guitar anyway.

                              You've never used the solo buttons for the blackened solo?

                              MADMAN! Lol.

                              Seriously though, i think the strat's awesome, the solo buttons added a new layer of fun for me and have made the guitar feel slightly fresher.

                                I keep meaning to try the solo buttons but just never bothered. Maybe I will.

                                I agree that the Strat is a beautiful piece of kit though. Feels a lot nicer than the GH offerings.
