1-APR-06 Drummania experience

This day was my lucky day. I went to The Netherlands to Vlissingen. There is one arcades called De Carrousel, known for having several music games arcades. One of those machines was also a clone of Drummania.

I already played here Drummania before but I had no idea how to set speed mods or even how to hold the sticks not to hurt my hands.

When I came to the machine I saw someone playing some crazy difficult song (level 80 or something?). It seemed really impossible for me to clear. He saw me standing there and invited me for a game. I said ok…but I will have to play something easier.

He put there some level ten song and everything was quite ok for me (as I already played the game before and I was capable hitting the drums. the problems was that I was quite offsync). Next he chose a song of level 20 and I also cleared that. For the last two stages he put there some 40 level songs and put a higher speed mod there. I stared at him saying “I CAN’T clear that, are you crazy?”. He said “you can clear that” and started the game for me. So I tried…

And you know what? I cleared both songs with a grade E. But I cleared them. I continued on for another two credits, but then I had to stop as I found out that I have eight nasty blisters on my hands. I also tore them in the process of playing this “dangerous” game so I switched back to playing 3DDX and DDR.
