Rock Band 4: Hail To The King Expert Drums

More Rock Band 4 unresponsive hijinx...
Just pumping this one out for the sake of it. I actually downloaded the firmware update for the kit and it works like a charm. It's still unresponsive if you don't hit it in the center, but hey, if it's anything I've learned from playing Rock Band for eight years and having octobans on my actual drum kit, it's how to hit the center of a six inch target. The bass is still very unresponsive even with the update, but it's slightly more playable now.

"This song may be very hard drum wise" No bars of difficulty

I'm pretty sure that was the joke lol

[@YuriNator557]

Ranked easiest in the game... for 3 instruments. The other 1? 5 devil dots

[@n3ptu.n3_48]

Super late, but I'm so confused on why everyone is hating on him. Don't think people realize how hard drums are.

[@eirebhoy132]

Super duper late but yea absolutely insanely hard, I genuinely can’t comprehend how drummers can use a kick pedal for the bass and drum at the same time never mind 2 kick pedals, especially when they have to use it on an offbeat.

[@hudboys8120]

I was better at the drums when playing this game but I played the endless setlist on the guitar bc if I were to play the drums I’d get tired super fast💀 especially painkiller omg

[@dsm278]

@@eirebhoy132years of practice and dedication to the instrument, I don’t understand the offbeat kick also but yet again I’m pretty new to the drums

[@georgethompson7742]

I remember the days of Rock Band 2 where the game came with a ton of fun songs.

[@Barrie96]

Rock band 2 was the good shit. Even some of the easy songs were still fun to play. Plus had lots of hard ones

[@Mellojoseph]

wait a second. this guy has a wii U but he has a stone age monitor for his game??

[@ashenold]

CRT monitors have much lower latency than modern monitors. I use one for Quake

[@Mellojoseph]

oh ok, thats just like a CRT T.V for smash bros or other fighting games

[@mikeetoo96]

yeah super smash bros melee plays way better on a crt

[@knutt8580]

I don’t think that’s the monitor he’s looking at, just the one he’s recording on.

[@highfishin3323]

sheepslayer87 so?

[@deidrias3895]

I’m late but he did his damn thang!!🔥🔥🔥 Drums are hard and so is the guitar.

[@Hunter1393B]

tbh i was vibing to the sound of the controller drums

[@BlackWolf207]

Damn I wish I got into this game back when it was more relevant. Now the instruments are expensive af.

[@hugsbosss2748]

0:43: When you can do this with the drums sticks, Hail to the King is not a problem AT ALL

[@Yoshimitsu4prez]

Lmao "this song might be really hard drum-wise" while looking at the first tier difficulty rating

[@HBShadows]

hi, when I was 6 all I used to do was watch your legend of Zelda twilight princess lets play over and over again, I think I'm memorized so much of it, Its been 8 years since that, you inspired me to try to start KZbin , and I'd just like to say thank you, and avenged Sevenfold is my all time favorite band and I just found out you like them, A7X foREVer

[@KKoserYaks]

Thanks for being a fan for so long. It's much appreciated. :)

you need to upload more of this! its amazing! this is what got you a lot of views and subs

[@T0oM3T4L]

i hate when people say arin was a shit drummer for them when this is the only album he was on.. its a classic metal album so obviously its gonna have slower drums.. he played the part that he was supposed to and people give him shit for it.. its not like he was a shit drummer since he was obviously able to play all their old shit live.. people are so dumb sometimes

[@ayylmao7402]

"hail to the King, hail to the one, kneel to the crowd, stand for the sun"

[@Billbroswaggin]

I'm about to pick up rockband and rockband 2, used to play the shit out of both of them years and years ago. Ready for the memories. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaps wait. They don't love you like I love you!

[@JordanSR]

hey bro long time no talk... its ggzxkilla! glad to see you still uploading videos

[@picklechinahboy1]

Harmonix shit on us (Rock band 4 players) with all of the songs that they chose, 60 songs that are shit with the exception of like 5. Am I the only one who thinks this?

[@thecattermat]

+MarcoPlayzAll if you can manage to buy around 40 dlc songs the game becomes extremely fun

[@Wuirox]

+thecattermat Yes, that is true. :D

[@JinxiiMinx]

+thecattermat Yeah, it just sucks that the majority of the base set of songs are shit.

[@JoaoKorreiaa]

+MarcoPlayzAll yep I love the games but fuck that and to make it worse, I lost my Rock Band 2 disc. But anyways, Its for the 360 all my downloaded songs and I have a PS4 :(

[@Timmy_Please]

+MarcoPlayzAll There is a simple solution to this issue, Get USB instruments and get Phase Shift on PC. You can get any song you want to lol if there is a download link for it.

[@isaiahwatchman3406]

damn you killing it dude 😈🎤🎵🎶🎸

[@wvwIceMan13wvw]

I like how you say you just hate the drums, I'm not that great, I can't do a lot of songs on expert but I can consistently get 99.9% of this song I usually just lose concentration or lose a bit of timing and miss one note, but I mention that because I love this song but I think it's their new drummer, he's good in his own right but with everything the rev did for A7X, just imagine what he would've done on this song, I know it may not be right to compare but that's just how it is sometimes

[@kahn5636]

They got another drummer in 2015 the guy for Bad Religion, Brooks Wackerman. I agree with you, the guy before him was probably the worst drummer they've ever had. His drumming was so simple sounding and wasn't really a head banger.

[@firetheman]

Arin could play, the band forced him to play simple cause Hail To The King is a metallica tribute

[@frenchhorn9391]

Wow. I was expecting a metalhead shitstorm in the comments. Pleasantly surprised.

[@randellmay]

WOW THAT WAS AMAZING

[@4diana4]

Hey so I just picked up rock band rivals and I setup the up the pro drum symbols for this specific set of drums you have. now is it just me or do those things shake to Fuking dam much? because when I'm hitting the yellow symbol at the same time as the red drum the symbol doesn't register fast consecutive hits. please someone comment and let me know if it's me or if the model of the drums/symbols are faulty

[@nitewolf673]

You got skills yo rock on

[@pitbulllover1285]

YAAA I LOVE THIS SONG

[@dreamcoma2213]

I wish there was a drum hero game that was solely for drummers. I have an electric drum that I can hook up already, but this tab is not actually a real representation of what these drummers are playing on these songs. We need something more accurate that utilizes a full drum set with all techniques interpreted on more than just 4 pads. It's time for a Drumsmith game!

[@andspartan]

Pro modes , lol

[@Nahhhhhhson]

How come I see other rock band 4 drum videos and their kits have cymbals?

[@adixen5362]

William G they probably use their own electric drum kit and connects it to their console. What you see here is the default drum kit rock band gives you

[@Adampazaz]

You can get a cymbal extension

[@DJcyberslash]

The pro cymbals expansion

[@baronprevost4743]

Hey I want to know I was watching you playing Rock Band 4 and you was jamming on those Drums

[@Zynpar09]

This song on expert is the same skill level as on easy, good thing they got rid of that uncreative drummer

[@CYYB3RMISTER]

Are you talking about the rev?

[@THEJustinOfAllTime]

Kaneki Uchiha how could he be talking about the rev? the rev died years before this album.

[@CYYB3RMISTER]

A7XFanBoy Didn't know. i was assuming.

[@T0oM3T4L]

how the hell was he uncreative? he played his part the way he was supposed to.. if this album had crazy drum fills every five seconds like their other stuff it would be so bad.. a classic album with modern drums? that makes no sense

[@THEJustinOfAllTime]

T0oM3T4L4u jokes on you hail to the king is that bad

[@sminky_]

99%? why even bother putting it on youtube!

[@what_the_lock292]

xavier cordero you can do best?

[@lissun-]

I mean, I disagree with you telling him not to put it on KZbin, but a lot of people can do better. It's not a very difficult song. Just look at it.

[@svkwolf1023]

Matthew id like to see you try this on expert.

[@justensmith161]

BlackMamba Gaming as if it's hard?

[@svkwolf1023]

justen smith u try it

[@dsm278]

I think the song with quintuple bells he was talking about was almost easy because that was in rock band 2 and had that fucking insane fill in the main riff

[@zxtrix3726]

14/10 much difficulty

[@zxtrix3726]

Harder than Basically everything

[@Kagescavern]

Hi everyone please any drums model suggestion to buy for ps4, please?

[@imaidiot9359]

Roll the sticks on the green pad. It's how I got 100%

[@drewmonroe1212]

I can't get my drums in to firmware update mode for some reason 😐

[@xboxgod7725]

i think harmonix should have used a better song than this, for example, Blinded In Chains, Save Me, Buried Alive or even M.I.A.

[@Redbanano]

Blinded in chains would be extremely difficuilt and save me would be impossible to play on shitty rock band 4 drums

[@imjustheresoiwontgetfined2740]

But you have to remember hail to the king was one of the top voted songs when Rock Band 4 was announced

[@Folurby]

those are probably dlc songs

[@RockBandRS]

@@imjustheresoiwontgetfined2740 Sadly that was most likely due to the guitar. So, everyone else gets to be bored playing it lol.

[@bradleychilton3675]

How do you have the fret board in front of you which is you playing the drums and the fret board in front of you?

[@EmosewaMC]

HAIL TO THE LARS

[@grumpymonk9908]

The drums on this song is the only thing I ever got an fc on

[@Beatswinga]

I love playing drums, but they are just to noisy. they should have made them softer...

[@Beatswinga]

+Johny Flores OK, cool. They also have silencers now that you can but from Amazon and EBay. Thanks for the tip though.

[@EIfinlocks]

1:23 lol I thought the same thing, too. lol

[@roflolmfao888]

Do the ions drums work or your old drums can't play on rb4?

[@lisagreen6614]

how long it takes u to learn to play like that do u play drums

[@carcrashlullaby]

nice hit window with the kick lmfao

[@manuuutherealone6248]

you are a pro

[@Ruchsacksepp]

the red pad looks like its gonna break from the kit any moment. is this the rb4 drum kit? is it good?

[@AnimeDayTrader]

Anyone have the files still for the firmware update? pls

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

Can you really get low enough latency with a capture card between the display and the console?

[@whereami4117]

How do I play the songs that I paid I don't see them

[@rorygallagherfanboy4456]

Why did the rev have to die? These drums are so weak. :/

[@OrphansCorpse]

+Paul Peoples But they suit the song...

[@OrphansCorpse]

***** If AC/DC done this song people wouldn't complain. Again, the drums suit the song. A Good drummer plays to the song, not just making a noise because they like it.

[@JGM_Visuals]

the drummer that recorded this album left so we might hear better drums

[@HeyLook287]

The suit the song because that's how the song was probably written, there's plenty of different ways to play this song differently.

[@propper-g7725]

Their new song the stage really steps it up in drums

[@Chody27]

This use to be my shit when I was 7 I remember when my cousin broke the drumsticks and we used the plastic giant spaghetti spoons as drum sticks

[@joshiblabla1074]

What the green note at 5:10?

[@V3rs]

Let's face it, this is the best A7X song when it comes to guitar riffs

[@ftm_guy]

I tried posting a video of me playing this it got copy right strike. Do you get those?

[@jovincozze]

how come i can't find anybody play hail to he king with a 5 piece set instead of this?

[@lissun-]

It really doesn't make that much of a difference. It's just as easy.

[@michaelhansgaard3888]

i have a question do u get a copyright strike from this vid

[@TheJwhitaker2010]

What is your collaboration on

[@BIOHAZARDRUSGaming]

What is it like on easy???

[@astonsz.8726]

cool!

[@hollyandoso]

nice

[@JoshTheGingerProductions]

i can do almost any song in rockbound 4 on expert if i don't use the pedal

[@ttud293]

Same

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

+FluffyWubblers So can most people, the pedal is what makes it.

[@CartoonCorey]

So what you're saying is you can't do most songs in Rock Band 4.

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

Corey Holland Without the pedal you're playing stepmania on medium~ :P

[@bazinwaz6883]

Pedal = Difficulty

[@2natunatwona]

i love how he is playing on the smallest screen possible

That's his pc recording the game

[@mcuniboob5751]

I played this song on the real drums 3 years ago, I'm 13 now

[@eddysantos2845]

What kind of fills is he using

[@Disaster755]

That monitor... bruh... 😂

[@BigEandem]

I would like another rock band 5 for better customization and more songs at are rock/metal

[@PossiblyBatman]

so when they say over 1700 songs is that purely because of the ability to add all the songs from the previous ones? How many actually come with the game?

[@mr.dankpepe746]

60 something I believe

[@Dranzerl]

You could buy all the original songs? Like reptilia?

[@slok354]

How do I buy dlc?

[@g_dakid7767]

Let's see you try spoon man

[@GodFaThEr09877]

Hail to the king is one of their greatest songs but you think otherwise they could have added in beast and the harlot or even better Nightmare. Which is even harder than this so you should take what you got

[@CYYB3RMISTER]

nightmare is a dlc track

[@zelectrode3337]

Timeplay Paradox Beast and the Harlot is default on RB3

[@sanicpl1499]

i bought my Xbox a bit of time ago. ofcourse the 360 cuz it has the good old games and its now quite cheap. For some reason when i bought Rock Band 3 to it, it had over 400 songs! Guess i hit the jackpot

[@brianmancilla77]

Hail to the King is nowhere near their greatest song this is probably one of their worst albums. I love the Stage though. But anyways there were probably like 2-4 good songs on this album.

[@kahn5636]

Yeah I agree with Eclipse Editor. It sounded so simple and just in general sounded bad. This means war was just a Metallica rip off too. I probably only liked Acid Rain and Shepherd of Fire on that album.

[@cyborgsolder5519]

was gonna sub but then your hair had me like no so I was gonna just like but you wouldn't shut up but I think how much of your life u put into this video so I decided to comment

[@WallpeSH]

+gamefreak249 I believe there is a way for roland and ion support by using the world tour drum brain. i havent looked into it but its worth looking into it yourself if you want a chance at playing rb4 w them.

[@tctc6494]

This is a good song tho

[@tornadotrance]
