That's "Taisetsu na mono," original performer is Road of Major (PF 9th Mix is a cover).

There's no "sky" kanji anywhere in the title (especially since the name of the song means something to the effect of "The Important Things," but in the song, they do say "kono sora (sky) no shita..."

btm? You mean BPM?

I'm still in transition from Beginner to Standard in gfdmV, and I already got a Full-Combo S in Beginner. The songs I usually play in Standard is Believe in Love. Any other recommendations for GuitarFreaks V?

Previous versions of GF/DM for PS2 just use a modified screen layout with the drums on the left, video to the right of that (optional - for widescreen TVs), and guitar columns all the way to the right. It'll probably be something like that. I wonder if they'll leave in the ethernet session linking code from the arcade version so you can play with 2 PS2s. That would be kind of a neat feature to keep in there.

Dude, I totally choked on "Freckles" on the first try. Anyway...

I finally managed to get a full-combo in Standard. It has a rating of 14 Basic, but I forgot the title. All I can remember is that it has a chick guitarist with an imprinted star on the shirt and a pair of headphones that she wears.

Oh, btw, is there a site out there that gives us gfdm combo sequences?

Lindberg did Believe in Love and as good as you think the GF/DM version is, the original completely crushes it.

Oh, btw, this sounds strange, but I got access to an Extra Stage for thrice already -- in BASIC!

Would someone please explain this to me?

Edit: Is 1/16 the lowest note the game?

DM is a game i've always wanted to play but never got the chance to since there isn't a machine within a hundred miles of me... and i'm an arcade purist so i won't bother with the home version.

here's something i want to know.... are any of you DM players actual drummers, and what can you tell me about the game from a real drummer's perspective? things like the note patterns and structure, and the way playing DM compares with a real setup.

yeah i knew about the lack of a hihat pedal...

they should have included two pedals, the left one could be a hihat or second bass pedal depending on the song.

so i'm guessing since you have to activate sensors, you're pretty much limited to single strikes and no bouncing/rolling type stuff?

still sounds like a fun game though, wonder if i'll ever actually get to play it.

There's stuff where you need to do bounces and rolls and stuff, but I'm not sure how it compares to the real thing exactly.

For real drummers, an open roll at a moderate tempo usually means 32nd notes, and these don't exist in DrumMania (if they did, most machines would not be sensitive enough to pick up the double-stroke rolls). When people talk about "rolls" in DrumMania, they usually refer to 16th notes, which you can easily single-stroke. So Krappyappy, you're right about that limitation of the game, and yes, it's still a fun game otherwise.

In faster songs like Mad Blast, you'll be glad it's only 16th notes. ;-)
