About me: Right now I'm into playing Guitar Hero. I injured my finger playing Guitar Hero 2 too much. Never healed. So since I can play drums I came up with a way to play the game with drum pads. Details on my website. News: ---- * I've started a Ustream show at http://www.ustream.tv/egyokeo (but I don't use it much anymore) * I was a guest on scorehero.com's official podcast. Check it out here... starpowerpodcast.com I'm on episode 10. Guitar Hero on Drums FAQ: ---- Q: How does it work? A: Everything is explained in detail here: http://egyokeo.com/midihero Q: How do you do 3-note chords? A: All "two adjacent note" power chords are mapped to the top 4 pads, so with two sticks I can play any 3-note chord except GYO. But I can get that with one stick in left hand and two fingers on right hand. Q: How do you do whammy and star power? A: I use a bass drum pedal on my right foot to activate star power, and a hi-hat pedal on my left foot to control whammy depth. Q: How do you hold notes? A: My MIDI Hero software has an auto-hold feature for every note hit because it's more natural for a drummer to play that way. It's not a good feeling to mash sticks into drum pads to hold notes. Q: Why do the notes "hit" so late? A: I use a 145ms setting for the in-game HTDV Lag Calibration feature to counter the "controller lag" I have with my setup. I use it to make the sweet spot of the notes match the sound of the music, not when the notes cross the row of circles. That way, I play what I hear, but the notes burst into flames really late. This only applies to my GH2 videos and pre-update GH3 videos. Q: Which video editor do you use? A: My earlier videos were made with Windows Movie Maker. My latest videos are made Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8. Q: How much does this cost? A: The drumKat is a pro-quality MIDI drum pad set. These days, they run about $1k but I bought my set years ago. I also use a PC to run my custom home-brew MIDI Hero software to interpret the drum events. Then the "XIM" and "XFPS" add another $100+. This is not made for the masses. This is a one-of-a-kind setup. Q: Do you play real drums? Are you in a band? A: Yes, I've been playing drums since 1986. I have been in various bands from Jazz to Ska over the years. Right now I'm in the Detroit-based ska band The Exceptions. Q: Are you getting Rock Band? A: I just got it! (04/10/2008) But I hate the drum controller so much I will not play it. I will either be getting my current mod to work with it, or I will be building the other mod out there people are using to play the game with their V-Drums. Q: Is "MIDI Hero" available to the public? A: I plan on making it available for download in the coming months. Stay tuned.
