Tips from the developers

The classic mistake that new players make is to stomp on the pedal from a great height, leaving their foot floating in the air between hits. This is poor pedal technique, and it doesn’t take long for poor pedal technique to result in leg pain, especially on challenging drum songs.

Good foot pedal technique, on the other hand, isn’t painful because it’s all about moving your foot as little as possible. The less energy you use on each hit, the more hits you can perform, and the better a drummer you’ll be.

Personally, since I don’t own it yet, I haven’t had a chance to try drumming. Looks like fun though. I can tell you that I have totally fallen in love with singing… what an ego boost to have people compliment your singing! Now I know why those fools try out for American Idol year after year.
