It's where you really start getting good at the drums I find. After learning how to use the pedal while keeping it pressed down, and separating the pedal rhythm and drumming rhythm, you can pretty much beat hard though. Doing this, however, isn't as easy as you'd think.
Yeah, once I get used to that I think I'll be able to fly through this on hard. I'm content to do as much, especially once I get to shit like Run to the Hills and Enter Sandman.
Hard guitar separates your fingers from the colors since they move, now. So I sort of see what you're talking about (even though I've hardly played any drums)
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
I always sucked at guitar. Then when I went and learned how to play real guitar, my fingers got used to being able to play the same note using different finger patters. I picked up guitar hero again, and found that my style changed dramatically, and I was able to slide my hands very easily to hit any button with any finger, and was suddenly pretty decent at it.
So yeah, I'd say that learning to no longer have a single finger cover a single button is a great way to go--You won't beat some of the harder songs without doing so.
Oh, and one thing I thought was funny. Now, for many of the hammer on's/pull off's, I find myself simply sliding the notes, which (for me) actually works well. Another result of real guitar. xD
