Drummer in the Making

This week I have been trying to get ahead in my online classes. That means a lot of studying, a lot of homework, and many essay questions. Sounds fun doesn't it? Hopefully my hard work will pay of when the warmer weather comes for more than a couple of days!

I recently discovered that my neighbors have Rock Band. For those of you who don't know... Rock Band (according to wikipedia because I don't feel like finding the words to explain it) is a music video game that allows players to perform in a virtual band by providing up to four players with the ability to play four different peripherals modeled after music instruments; a guitar and bass guitar, a drum set, and a microphone. You match the rhythm and the notes on the TV with the ones on your drums or on the guitars. If you sing, the words run across the top of the screen.

This game is very entertaining. At first, I was horrible. I could not match a note to save my life. I found that the guitar was out of the question, but the drums had potential. I started getting the hang of it and improved my skills. I have yet to make it passed the easy difficulty and get to the advanced songs... But since I have been going over there every few hours for study breaks, I am determined to gain the skills of a rock star ;)
