Rock Band 4: Metropolis Expert Drums

[@FAHQU2]

We played this song in my band. I'm the bassist. Never have I witnessed more torture learning a song in my life.

you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

@Aryan Quentin Instablaster ;)

[@aryanquentin6301]

@Ashton Jairo thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@aryanquentin6301]

@Ashton Jairo It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out!

[@ashtonjairo2063]

@Aryan Quentin No problem :D

[@yenoham3265]

Well even if you weren't happy with how the game is working, you still did an awesome job man. REALLY impressive!

[@Ryotaiku]

Nice monitor.

[@l1nx2112]

+Ryotaiku hahahahahahahaha

[@TheNightquaker]

+Darth Revan Unless you want a color reproduction! In that aspect, CRTs are comparable to professional high-grade IPS panels.

[@itdobeshockin]

10 bucks he breaks the pedal by the end of the month

[@zacharywoodford8530]

Chase A dude my friend does the same shit. I wanna punch him in the throat everytime

[@Amacklemore02]

Yeah with the way he plays by stomping it, when I play you can’t even hear noise from the pedal

[@robotman5105]

@@Amacklemore02 it’s hard to kick fast when you pivot off your foot so you end up stomping it

[@Cayge41]

I was pretty awesome on drums with the original version but that was straight impressive

[@Barrie96]

This song definitely looks passable and super fun. Wish I could get a new drum set back

[@brennanbien9072]

im a drummer. i use rockband 3 as practice/warmup

[@mrcupcake5309]

0:40 this video is a prefect example of how badly harmonix fucking robbed us with broken hardware

[@Admiralex91]

Harmonix didn't playtest this well enough. All the missing notes..

[@seanmiller7095]

Admiralex91 they have an expert +++ mode that has all the ghost and accent notes not seen here. 😼 this is easy expert mode compared to the expert +++ mode

[@bbirdplayingames]

if only the pads could keep up with your drumming!

[@joeyrizzo717]

There is no way I could ever FC this. The best I could get was 93%...

dream theater is in rockband? awesome...so good

[@V1ct0r45]

+Creepy_wave045 since rock band 2, they had panic attack

[@KillstormSH]

korczia technically since rb1 with constant motion as dlc

[@DEVILSOLIDSNAKE1985]

not my tempo

[@stephaniev.7287]

I am going to get mine this weekend I haven't been this excited since rock band 2 which I would play for 6+hrs straight at times lol wow.

[@MuffinMan675]

I have the same problems with the stock kit that came with my copy. Basic beats register, but anything that's complex or any drum rolls, it's horrible. There's a firmware update for the kit. I've heard that's helped some people. But others are still having problems.

[@YoutubeAccountMan]

+Taylor Smith I haven't had any troubles with the kit so far. I can play this song with no troubles really.

[@Joshyboy90]

This happen to me all the time it’s suck so bad

[@Bluuu3]

I like how during the quick double bass pedals he tries to play them lifting his leg up at ton

[@Bluuu3]

Although to be fair, this is pre firmware update

[@shadowsinscarlet3222]

I just fangirled... Can I say that? Because Metropolis is one of my favorite songs by Dream Theater. Fuck yea Rock Band. \m/

[@Reviewster]

Excellent job, with the Ions worked witn RB4

[@Brendyn4222]

I read your description and what I do playing RB4 drums is use a headset. It works really well. You should try it out 🙂

[@JVR10893]

Actually, on Images and Words (and When Dream and Day Unite) John Myung used a four string. He switched to six strings on the IaW tour and started using them on albums starting with Awake.

[@Svydnar]

If you don't like the auto fills you can turn them off in the options. Also, unfortunately you have to connect your drums to the PC to download a firmware update so that it helps with fast notes not registering. You can find more info just by googling RB4 firmware update.

[@7777777Beau7777777]

+BoWLKuTT i tried doing that on 2 different pcs i downloaded them on both the one picked up the drums via bluetooth but it said error so i got pissed off and quit after 30 mins of trying to get the drums firmware upgraded then i tried it on another pc and bluetooth wouldn't even recognize the drums. Do you think they'll put something for the drums in the december patch or no?

[@Svydnar]

I think I saw on some forums a while back ago where they're going to continue to revise and update the firmware updates based on community feedback. So hopefully it'll become more compatible with your setup.

[@TheMetalGaia]

Ah, classic Dream Theater. I love it.

[@jmillapotato7673]

Still better than me play drums, the green lane in the beginning would make me just go straight from Expert to Medium or Hard while I curse about how I need to practice drums more

[@THTGuy789]

They've been talking about updating the firmware (don't know if you heard about that or not) but MadCatz has a firmware fix for the dropping in the pads, while it helps a lot it's still not at all that responsive. I've been having some serious trouble with my Kick Pedal registering. Another thing I noticed is that this game doesn't seem to have the Velocity Sensor in the pads. Like in previous games a light hit would generate a softer sound and vice versa but this game is just one solid sound for every part, not sure if that's part of the problem or not but anywho I'm hoping they give out a fix for this. Great video man being able to play it with the problems the drums present awesome

[@WECKmaster329]

It's more than likely a processing error. People on reddit have come to the conclusion that the velocity sensitivity of the pads is being misshapen into digital causing some serious lag. Of course, this isn't the only thing that has lag. Freestyle guitar solos have delayed strumming and vocals have delayed feedback. The game calibrates correctly, but the signals aren't being registered as analog. Also, The kick pedal has a certain duration that it has to be pressed in order for it to be counted as a kick. That's why those quick doubles didn't register right.

[@racheltate4646]

Duuuuuude!!! Fuckin killed it bro! And I thought I was doing OK. I'm not worthy! LOL

[@Lycosa]

Cool, man!!! You're a big Rock band guitar hero/music guy I guess... big fan. you had it at the very release and you're a pro drummer so good :)!!! respect. metal music fan probably with the hair and all. thin guy, long hair, metal fan. Btw dream theater rocks..... cant wait to play Rock Band 4.

[@jamesralph5908]

Wow nice monitor choice, I used the same thing in primary school (over 10 years ago) lol

[@themaskedbanana6360]

A couple days later, on xbox, silverwing249 got 3,000 friend requests.

[@seth2k800]

This dude is a beast

[@stormtrooperandshame]

I love this song

[@Sheebttv]

im gonna have to sit down and learn the part at 6:20 . Like, I can play YYZ, spirit of the radio, and things similar. But that's just kind awkward for me.

[@paradigm4736]

You do the exact thing I do when notes are slow haha!

[@Reecespuffs98]

Doesn't it feel great to be back on Rock Band 4?

[@Shockwve]

This game is such a letdown. Patches could fix this but did they have no one test this at all? Damn, this is disappointing. On the otherwise, nice CRT to record :P

[@MegaDarklee]

Hey, I just wanted to throw this out there. There is a firmware update for the drums. You have to go to the MadCatz website and download it, so it will actually hit the notes properly. I don't know if you have done that yet, but I am just telling you in case you haven't done it yet. After I did the update, I haven't had a single problem with my drum kit. It works great now.

[@slingshotkurt8474]

Dude this my fucking theme song. I love Dream Theater

[@sainter7]

great work

[@user-tp2ex6kk4u]

song was written on a 4 string, in fact the entire album was written on a tobias 4 string bass, john myung didnt need the 6 strings until awake, and he hardly uses the high c string on his sixer

[@KaranSingh-lt6vv]

You killed it

[@daji1991]

epic , great job

[@deathspike1]

3:45 HEEL TOE TECHNIQUE ASDFGHJKL definitely is tricky, good shut though.

[@KKoserYaks]

+deathspike1 I already know how to do heel toe. I have old RB videos of myself doing it. The problem is that the game can't register two kick notes being played that quickly, so I have to trick the timing window to actually hit the notes.

[@danielmoraes9637]

amazing

[@razzdarkstar]

I was so happy when I golded this! Took 8 months, but I did it lol

[@RmNaNtCbScRrn]

Rock Band is awesome, fucking sucks it got discontinued, they should still sell it!!!!!!

[@vectron12]

this song was played on a 4 string jazz bass

[@AntiHeroLBC]

Dude, I totally feel you and I'm hoping it won't be long until there's a patch fixing this By the way, do you know if it's still possible to get a destroyer pedal? Or at least a cord that connects my roadie pedal to a stock kit (that's what I used with my IONs back in RB2-RB3)?

[@MrHankeyy]

I fixed my mine with a firmware update from madcatz, but you need a pc/laptop with bluetooth (with the latest drivers).

[@AntiHeroLBC]

Actually, I found out that I didn't do a good job at calibrating the timing the first time around. I also discovered that IONs work on the PS4 version but not the XBOX One version. I'm a PlayStation guy so now I'm back in business!

[@Pyota-RooM]

dream theater lol i want play this game

[@Wilbur58]

I want a headset port. that's all I ducking want madcatz

[@JakeWagemann]

bought an expensive hdmi cable, recal'd, and it fixed a lot of missed notes for me. the one that comes with the ps4 is garbage. good plays my dude. also, if you change to dynamic fills i think you can roll the cymbals or what have you instead of using static fills which are mundane.

[@benbutt3891]

He's like the same thing like me,I almost get every note,but it's so hard to get all of them

[@chubbygrubber]

That's right Frank

[@MTRPr0ductions]

My kit always drops snare hits. Even on VERY BASIC beats. It's so frustrating

[@bigd50480]

Dam!!!! good job!

[@stuffandsuchyeah5182]

nice pro marks bro. totally can't play my drums anymore bc of a move, would you say this is worth the money? Has it helped with drumming at all?

[@JuntexProductions]

Just bought Rock Band 4 and the drums have been terrible. They're constantly dropping notes randomly so getting 100% on anything is impossible. Seeing as you've gotten 100% you don't have the same problems. Is there anything I could do to fix the issue because it's really starting to frustrate me. Thanks!

[@boxminded666]

JUNTEX try calibrating the controls. i bought this as an xmas present for my bf and the notes felt like they lagged.

[@tommysnowy3068]

Lots of people gotten 100%... like me.

[@toribot1768]

JUNTEX I thinks it you if you're having an issue go to their website and contact them.

[@giannawild9904]

I don't think it's an issue with the drums. The same thing happened to me a bunch of times, but it turned out I just wasn't used to the small lag, and I wasn't actually playing the drums to the beat of the song because of my frustration. You really just need to relax and practice, that's what I did, and now I can get 100% on lots of songs on hard.

[@zedoctor_]

It does that to me in RB3 for the Xbox 360, but it does it for every instrument I play.

[@MrBlack-vo3vk]

It really looks like madcatz set the re-trigger and crosstalk values too high. Which cause notes to miss.

[@OosoToxic]

lmao that first part with the green notes he laughs and says "no one will get that" hahah i have yet to miss it lol

[@daysleeper318]

That amount of dropped notes, especially in that lane at the beginning. It's actually like the drums give up if you try to play anything remotely fast. What an utter disappointment. In any case, it's nice to see you back in rhythm gaming!

[@MrJarpo]

Which bass pedal are you using?

[@KKoserYaks]

+Jason Aldridge Stock pedal.

[@BigDaddy.94]

+KKoserYaks the pedal is a fucking shit

[@Reecespuffs98]

+KKoserYaks I miss ur real drum skills yo! There is something off, about drumming mechanics!

[@PDBiscuits]

+KKoserYaks been practicing for a while still can't get this song and I've been a drummer for 5 years! Really enjoyed the vid hope one day I can rek this song like you

[@TreyTruce]

+Jason Aldridge what is a good bass pedal

[@CoryJayPhotos]

i'm thinkin of playing thins on my channel as well, how do you monetize these with the copyright? :-)

[@TheNormalMCGamer]

Ok, you said you thought the gold cutoff was around 460k. Since I have hit gold already on this, I can say it's around 490k, 491k.

[@PutTheGameDown]

You should really turn off Dynamic fills and keep it on Classic fills. Best way to play for sure, you get the _actual_ fills in the game. Whether or not the drums let you hit them.

[@bill3853]

dude its ur drumset that cannot process the notes. You can fix it by putting something on it like another rubber pad or a towel over it. Can't explain how it works that way, but it did for me

[@collinder___1044]

Your a master

[@prodigyfilms8170]

this songs seems easy enough. it's just so weird and confusing lol. but they seem pretty easy. Does the rock band 1 kit work on ps4? I'm looking for a Drumkit didn't have enough for the band kit when I went to get it so imma just go to a pawn shop lol

[@maniac1628]

My rock band one set doesn’t miss any notes

[@Bluuu3]

I've tried this song, I always fail when I get near the end :=

[@ExJLR]

Double strokes/diddles should take care of those fast sections

[@brianburke8617]

i got the long green part

[@sniperlemming]

What is this 2006? Someone get this kid a proper monitor.

[@TheNightquaker]

+sniperlemming "This kid" seems to have a drawing tablet (behind his WiiU pad), and in that case, a "proper monitor" would be an IPS panel with good color reproduction. So he might want to keep that CRT monitor of his, since CRT monitors are the best when it comes to color reproduction.

A GH hater here. Playing drums seems more fun via this means. I mean, this is remarkably similar to playing drums on those usb drums. But that makes me ask the question, why not get a USB drum set?

[@Legendnum23]

Even after the update for the drums it's still a piece of shit my red pad can't register many notes at a time it's like I don't hit notes on run to the hills I know it's not me cause my guitar works fine. Honestly out of all drum sets RB1 was the best it was loud but accurate.

[@YoutubeAccountMan]

Blaming the processor eh? I have had no problem playing this song since launch.
