Video Games Teaches People How to Be a Drummer
Video gaming sure have advanced since the original days of Pong and all the old favorites of yesterday. Who could have envisioned decades ago that computer gaming could be used to learn new skills?
Guitar Hero is not only a game that is fun to play, but they also say at Harmonix Music that if you can play the Rock Band drum set on the ‘hard’ setting, you can pretty much play the drums for real! But really are you really playing the drums, or just copying the pattern you see on the screen? If you can master the video game drumming, it doesn’t mean that in you will be able to sit at a real drum set and be able to play. To play real drums you need to be able to read music. which you won’t learn playing a game; excellent coordination and rhythm. If you can’t read sheet music you will probably not be able to be in a band unless you are musically gifted and have the instincts to know what needs to be done. Bands today don’t use electronic drums like were so common in the 1980′s . Real drums give the musician more control over the volume, pitch and duration of the drum note and cymbals.
At least your real drum kit will never need is Guitar Hero World Tour cymbal cable, because there are no cables that are so badly made that they always break.
Even a basic drum kit is far more advanced than the Guitar Hero or Rock Band drum set. For a non-musician, I’m sure the mental image of a real drum kit is overwhelming! Just think about sitting on stage with your drums, knowing that you are responsible for setting the rhythm for your band and they all rely on you. If you get to that point you are obviously a super drummer, but for a beginner even the Rock Band drum kit can be too much.
The basics of playing the drums is as simple as keeping the beat. If you can keep rhythm, can you play the drums? Not really. Great drummers need to add to songs with their creative touch as well as just setting the beat for the band else to follow. You may not always think about the drums, but if you were to take them out of the song I think you would notice for sure!
So, can a video game teach you to play the drums? Most likely not, but you can sure start learning the basics. Learn drumming basics with the Playstation games, practice your counting out the beat, and you will be starting your one way journey to the top! Make sure you find a replacement Guitar Hero World Tour cable before it breaks!
