TRILLS

[baseSon]

Anybody else have trouble with performing trills? basically 1/16 note(?) runs with 2 of the same arrows, eg. right, down, right, down etc, used in songs such as 3/4 through So Deep, Witch Doctor, V ONI etc.
I always mess up with them, often leading to a degraded score and if anyone has tackled this problem through a simple solution please share! I am pretty sure its a mental barrier as i can do the actual physical motion with ease.

grr..

Play those songs over and over. You will eventually notice improvement, and also if 16th trills at 140-150 bpm are getting at you, you might want to know that many boss songs use the same patterns Max 300's 1/8th trills and Across the nightmare's 1/8th set. Practice makes WHAT again , perfect.

you are probably not staying on a consistent beat when playing, or may be doing them too quickly/slowly.

try playing the songs on stepmania with assist tick. you will learn the pattern and can try and transfer that to pad play very easily.

alternatively, try playing with someone who can P.A. them well, and try and match your steps with theirs.

Trust me, i attempt them everytime i switch DDR on, some days i get the better than others however their never *spot on*

Yes this is true i always tend to do them too fast, to the extent where sometimes my foot isnt on an arrow (the down) and my feet sort of vibrates instead.

I will play with Assist 4 on with socks, perhaps that will help me get on beat!
