Drumhell 2! 2 Drummers, 1 Rockband, 533 Songs and 50+ hours!
Sargonas | 1:29 PM on 01.04.2009 8 comments


Want to see two of the best Rock Band drummers face off in the hardest songs the game creators can make? Check out http://www.pmsclan.com/drumhell/ to watch H2O^Someguy913 and Phr34k^H2O face off on the 30 most difficult songs made for Rock Band 2. But there is one wrinkle to this drum-off, the two have already been playing head to head on Expert for over 50 hours straight. That's right, these two iron men started playing at 10 am EST on Friday morning, and have been going strong ever since. Harmonix has been putting out weekly downloadable songs since Rock Band 1 was released last in November 2007. That amounts to a whopping 533 tracks to date, and these two drummers have set out to play every single one head to head. They are, as of the time of posting this, in the final stretches with only 30 or so songs left to go. Since they are playing in the order of difficulty, that means they are now hitting the hardest of the songs, while they are at their weakest!

They are hitting the home stretch now, and closing in on a Guiness World Record for video game drumming. Stop by and watch as they finish out this incredible event live from Canada! Also, they aren't just doing this for the record, they have been asking for donations to The United Way. Also, all of their sponsors (Plantronics, Harmonix, Patriot, Sharp, and more) have pitched in tons of prizes to be given away every time they 100% a song, or 99% or better an expert song to anyone who's watching!

Damn, that's some serious Fake Drumming, but you have to be real good at real drumming to get all that fake drumming down.


Or in other words, kudos to these guys, I hope the had lots of Red Bull.

bah, I'd be impressed if they were playing real drums. Real instruments take a lot more talent than playing on a fake set that teaches you how to play a modernized "Simon".

Sorry. Not impressed. Play real music and instruments.

Holy shit, impressive, kinda like EPSN's couch potato contest, see who can sit in a chair watching college football the longest.

Last year a guy went for something like 50 some hours (you get a bathroom break every 8 hours, and can't sleep).
