He should hook the electronics up to a DDR pad...

And I don't understand the title... DDR?

I think he means "BRD" as in Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany).

No, that's the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR. East Germany. BRD is/was West Germany

Here's a video of practically the same trick happening for real: http://www.videosift.com/video/In-DDR-magic-tricks-you

*videogames - DDR qualifies as one.

Argh, don't know why it is wide and squished. URL: http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/169453/Russell-Peters-DDR.html

This is the best thing I've seen in a while.

Made me think of DDR a couple times.

CPU: AMD 2100+
GFX: ATI 9600 256MB
HD: 7200 ATA133 200GB and 80GB
RAM: 2GB DDR 266

I need a new desktop, as a gamer this isn't cutting it, I use my laptop for most of my gaming anymore. Unfortunately because of PCIe and SATA I can't just buy a new MB CPU and RAM.

Man, my heart was beating really fast watching this. I was scared for him. But GEEZ, those Germans are tough.

That host on the right couldn't watch though. Plugged her ears as well.

And I don't understand the title... DDR?

we call it DDR in Asia.

.....aaaaaand he's playing it on 3:27. What a surprise.

>> ^alien_concept:
That's been sped up ffs. Look at the screen he's watching...


He and the people watching in the background are moving in real time, not faster. Also, you can't really tell anything from looking at the screen because (a) there's so much glare you can only see the background and (b) there are options within the game to speed up the arrows and doesn't affect the song speed, so (c) the most definitive way to check the film speed is to listen for the song, which is inaudible over the crowd noise.

This guy knows what he's doing, and what he's doing is surviving for at least half a minute on Heavy difficulty (the highest) on a very difficult song (maybe MAX 300? Can't tell).

i know it's late, but this was such a bad idea, so i'm pimpin it:

Unfortunately for you dude, drum mania actually does teach you some basic motions in playing drums. If you were to go from this game to drum lessons, you would find yourself ahead of most people.

Keep in mind, these are real drums configured in an actual drum configuration. Once you get to the point in the game where the hi hat is actually used as it is in reality, you're no longer just hitting some random drum in accordance to some random command as in DDR or Rock Band.

Not to mention the fact that this game teaches you actual spot on rhythm *with real drums* and essentially gives you the practice of playing with a metronome (a rhythm keeping device used in all types of instrumental music). And that as a person who used to play drums, I love this game and wish that there was a mode where there's no game at all, just a freestyle jam session.

The tablature is hard to follow at high speeds at first, but just like DDR, you can get used to it and pretty soon are able to keep up with it at a high speed.

And yes, this IS actually playing drums, that guy's using a low-end electric drum set right there. There are definitely some differences, such as controlling dynamics, and there are certain techniques that you can't do with an electric drumset, but it's essentially the exact same thing, except electronic.
