It comes so much faster than you'd think, eh?

Screw NASCAR and driving simulators...clearly they are a terrible analogy and basically a thread derail.

Look, the point is you don't know this guy doesn't play in a band and just uses RB for practice/conditioning/fun when his band is doing other stuff?  Maybe his band broke up?  Shit, you have no idea, so making comments saying you should learn real instruments are pretty pointless.

Seems like a good way to build up your endurance/timing to me, even if it somehow doesn't translate directly into actual drum kit skills.  Obviously as stated above, this works for drummers and not anything else (until RB3 gets the guitar/piano closer to the real thing).  As a thing that allows you to practice and grades you, what better thing exists?

Yes, it's beneficial to learn to read/write music, but IMO that isn't too hard...I started learning in 5th grade.  Sure maybe it's harder to pick up as an adult, but wtf...it's just a specific written code for certain sounds.  It's not magic.  Furthermore, why should traditional written sheet music have a monopoly on the communication of musical concepts for all eternity?  There are thousands of languages/dialects in the world that all have different ways of communicating the same things.

I'm out of practice, but I can read music.  For my brain and the way it works, RB's style of displaying drum beats speaks to me in a different (and possibly better) way...a way sheet music cannot.
