That sounds cool indeed.

I don't have the time to play in a band and I always look for ways to keep my jam session at home as interesting as possible.

There is also a lack for easily available music without the guitar track in decent quality. If they are going to fill this gap they 'll be my best friends soon.


Good idea. I would like to note that if you can play the drums on Rock Band, you can play the real drums. It's just a 5 piece electronic drum kit, and I believe there's even a hack to let you use it to compose music on a computer now.


As much as I love drumming in Rock Band, it's not quite the same. You don't learn good technique, or how to read music, or the lingo and vocabulary that go together with real proficiency at percussion instruments.

That being said, most drummers don't know how to read music either. The old joke: "How do you get your drummer to slow down if he's playing too fast? Put sheet music in front of him."
