This song reminds of some other song, maybe something from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Anybody have any ideas?

However, before I’d go off and buy a particular drum kit I’d be sure to do your research (a quick Google search already turns up some complaints at the unofficial Roland V-Drums forum, such as this one).

Why an electronic drum kit? The first article on Google for the search query “advantages of an electronic drum” sums it up perfectly:

In the acoustic drum world, there is no such thing as a quiet drum set. Drums are meant to be loud, and if they are played quietly the sound just isn’t right. [...] But electronic drums can be played as quietly as you like. Just turn down the volume control.

Basically the only sound that is made is from the sticks hitting the pads.

Awesome.

Up until that day I had been a bit reluctant to actually pick up the guitar and play the game out of fear for “looking silly” but I thought to myself “Why the heck not?” and I must say I truly had a blast.

It also reminded me that I actually had already played another rhythm game a while back, to be precise the open source Frets on Fire, but actually using a guitar as a controller is half the fun.
