playing well on certain songs

[DeusExMachina]

Some songs some people are good at while others arent I've noticed.

Some songs I am good at while other pros might have a little difficulty with are

Sunday Driver
Impulse of blue

Those are some songs that I am good enough at that I can S every time I play it but some of my friends (who are better than me have trouble S-ing it). On the other hand Navfn2003 can S Konoko no nanatsu no owaini while I have yet to get an A on it.

Some people can get certain songs down easily while others might have trouble with certain patterns. Difficulty number isnt always the dominating factor when considering how one will do on a song in particular I have noticed. I guess it also depends on how much u like the song and willingness to play it often.

I'm good at the Suzuki Ai~esque patterns where you constantly switch between the highhat and the snare and sometimes the cymbal. Is anyone else good at them?

I can get a decently high P/G on Sotto, but have trouble even A'ing the other Suzuki Ai songs.

I seem to do well on the tricky parts on O Jiya, Agnus Dei, Mad Blast, Concertino in Blue, and You Can't Do It for some reason. I do well in the supposed Combo-breakers but mess up a lot on the simple patterns keeping me from ever S'ing those songs :{

[Human Error]

It's just how the brain is wired, I think.

I know of a person here who FC/SS Brazilian Anthem with no sweat, gets constant high S'es for songs like Konokono, Tamayura, Mad Blast, but somehow gets a B for She Said. Weird.

As for me, I have no "special" traits I guess. Whatever I'm good at, others are good at too...maybe the only "special" trait for me would be my endurance/stamina (but I think that is because I hit lightly so I don't tire myself out so easily).

O Jiya EXT rapes me on the drums. There is just something in that song that destroys me. Contrary to that, people will struggle through the latter half of Joker EXT on drums and I have that nailed.

For O Jiya, try using thicker drum sticks that have higher natural rebounds. I normally have to hit 3-4 notes at a time with one hand during the intro/end.

I can probably still S Balance more consistently than FamiResu Bomber.

How's that for particular? XD

I'm getting a hard time to play the Suzuki Ai's songs... Can't clear the EXT difficulty.

Anyhow I'm not a perfect drummer. I can't S on many EXT songs... I can pass just A or lower ranking on about 45-60's songs.
I can only pass two 70+ songs, "Himawari" and "Glide".

Sotto and seiron are ok. Souhaku can go to hell. (just the chart- all of Suzuki Ai's music, I like) Also I have trouble with passion (have yet to S). Bass alternating songs in general messes me up. I just happen to have She said down, and can probably S it a little more than half the time. Other songs that have alternating bass w/ snare/toms/hh/cymbal such as panasonic youth, model dd4, and model dd5 all give me trouble. Jazzy songs in general give me trouble too (stupid double cymbals/awkward cymbal patterns) so you can include heavens cocktail, brazilian anthem, cockpit(jazzy?) in that mess. Besides that I think I get by with my stamina draining EST-esque (multiple hits on one drum pad with one hand) style (I want to play v2 to see how my herring roe score fairs now :P).

I get raped by jazzy-ish songs, minus waza. It's been that way for a really long time. I can barely get an A on centaur, joker, heaven's cocktail etc, etc. My other weakness would be songs that require you to be very good at coordination. I guess You Can't Do it takes the cake. Sometimes I pass with a B, other times I just fail outright.

Suzuki Ai songs are okay for me, the hihat-snare pattern, once I got the hang of it, I was always able to do them.

To add on, maybe you could try playing with the right stick on the snare, and the left stick on the tom, and from there you can do a perfect roll of the whole series, minus the starting where you'd have to do stupid double strokes just to catch it. I hope it's clear enough.

OH YEAH WELL I CAN GET AN S on Hikari He almost every time!!! TAKE THAT MELCHIOR!!! HAHAHHAAH jk

[Melchior]

;_;

Even worse than that, I can't consistantly S Yakeno ga Hara. That's a 45, even. D=

There are times when Out of Breath Ext. destroys my brain. Honestly, the first minute are a struggle sometimes.
