Rigopulos on why air drumming doesn't work (Joystiq)

Jul 25th 2008 1:15PM what if you want to close the hi-hat and hit the bass drum simultaneously? sorry, i wish i had a wii but i dont and i am unfamiliar with the peripherals.

Rigopulos on why air drumming doesn't work (Joystiq)

Jul 25th 2008 11:00AM i feel stupid asking, but were y'all kidding when you put that video up? cause it doesn't sync with the music one bit. he's just "playing" really fast in a pattern (which repeats) the whole time.

as a drummer i can confidently say that air drumming is 100% different from tactile-based drumming. the rebound of the stick and even the speed and placement of the stick on the drum means everything to a discriminating percussionist. for instance, how will he do rim shots?

im sure that the different parts of a drumset (ie., hi-hat, bass drum, cymbal) are played by holding different buttons or combinations of buttons. i dont know though, i could be wrong. which brings me to another point; the bass drum really isnt something you play with your hands.

shame, nintendo.
