Drums Challenge to 1 April 2010 – Taking it Easy

[jimcallumuk1812]

I’m a little late starting the challenge this week so I’ll give two weeks from today. We’ve had quite a few “non-drummers” sign up to the drum challenges recently so I thought I’d help them along by setting a collection of easier tracks this week (this won’t last). So nothing over a tier 3 and a couple of very easy ones:

Bad Romance – Lady Gaga - Tier 1

Oh Yeah – The Subways – Tier 3

I’m Sick Y’all – Otis Reading – Tier 1

Sing the Changes – Paul MacCartney – Tier 2

So relax and enjoy

Good luck everyone

Way to go Wade and Jim and everyone!

Well thanks for looking out for us 'non-drummers'. It is nice to be thought of although personally I find I improve more with the harder difficulty songs. I believe the real drummers would rather have a little more challenge too. That 'Oh Yeah' song was rather difficult for me though, I barely passed it

I got my first ever Gold Star on drums through this challenge though. First time I had to make an effort to achieve that milestone so it felt nice. The first song I played on Guitar I managed to Gold Star as well as for vocals, although I cheated and did the Beastie Boys song for the trophy. So to actually go from Hard level up to being able to get a Gold Star on Expert, it feels like an accomplishment. Ok, enough of my nerdiness...
