My Sweet Darlin' and Motto instantly make it the best.

As do Shiritori, Boyfriend, Seiron, all four Classic Parties, Fireball, Children's Sketchbook, Magical Jet Tour, and the piles of classics from 1st through 5th Mix.

DM 5th Mix is the best, and GF 6th is a very close 2nd.

Yesterday, a new arcade opened in Austin, TX, and they have Percussion Freaks 3rd Mix (the first Drummania in the Austin area). Today, they are already missing one of the drumsticks. Not only is it bring-your-own-drumsticks, but it's also bring-your-own-stool. The chairs from the dining area are okay, though, if you don't mind people looking at you as you carry a chair across a crowded arcade.

Suffice it to say, spending $1 to play Def Leppard style was extremely amusing but not something I want to do on a regular basis.

But hey, the bass pedal actually works.

I don't use a stool to play DM. I just stand. $1.00 is a lot for DM. Our's is $.50 for 4 songs.

Yeah, my legs get sore as hell trying to stand up and work the pedal. The drum pads aren't a real problem, though.

Well, I had a pretty good day of Drummania today. I FCed Stop Spinning Me in Cirlces expert.

I also decided to try real again, and all I have to say is Depend on Me is the strangest song ever.

For some reason, I couldn't get the hi-hat on beat at all. I always got goods or poors no matter what I did. The toms were fun, but strange. I also found out The Adventures is a fun song, except it gave me a really bad blister because the cymbal was so fast.

I wish they would have put the songs that only have Real difficulties on Expert Real, too, or just used let us switch difficulties like they do on the other mixes.

Oh well.

Yeah, if they ever release GF5/DM4 for PS2, then we'll be able to switch difficulties freely. That will be nice.

Yes, that's what I mean. Just put the Real version of the song on Expert Real as well, so you can play it without being forced to play other Real songs.

Momoirokataomoi is "pink crush," (or pink one-sided love) according to one of my Japanese friends...

It's a fun song.

What's up with cachaca? I'm playing non-drum instruments on drums for most of the time; emphasis on BeatMania with drumsticks!

Do any of you know how the e-Amusement system works in GF9 and DM8 and it's all Japanese text?

Songs I hate because I still can't pass them: Cosmic Cowgirl, Mondo Street, Helpless, Depend on Me. I don't know why I can't pass the last three as they aren't hard at all; I think I must be retarted... mainly for my lack of skill in passing Helpless. Cosmic Cowgirl has too random of snare parts for me to understand it.

I <3 Stop Spinning Me in Cirlces. The bass works really well with the bass guitar. <3 <3

Aren't you playing Steel Drums in Cachaca? So, I mean, its accurate enough, right?

I should try playing Stop Spinning Me in Circles next time I hit DM8th mix...I like the song but up til now I've feared my skills were not enough-but I'll try it out next time.

SSMIC is an awsome song, but it's fairly hard. It isn't hard once you figure it out, but getting down the bass and snare parts is a bit hard. The song also speeds up. It's mainly the beginning and ending of the song that will most likely give you trouble.
