Two nights ago, I beat Run to the Hills on drums expert…three stars, but I’ll take it.  It was all about:

1) Repositioning my seat to sit right over the red pad;
2) Extremely fast and accurate hi-hat/snare combos…it may have been 1/32 notes for you drummer types out there
3) Constant bass notes, I believe they were 1/8 notes through the entire song (except for a couple 1/16 notes scattered in).

Once the rhythm was down, I needed to manage my overdrive to stay alive to the end.  My new BFF, overdrive, definitely came through when needed.  I believe I was flashing red at the final note into the big ending.  Yes, I nailed the big ending too.  Sweating something fierce, I knew that I needed to break…so hopped on the vocals to do some online jamming with some friends (BigMaki, CRACKODOOM420, and dj wazzy). Thanks for the tips and encouragement guys. (What do you think, do we have a RB2 band ready to take on the masses? We’ll need a name.)

Last night, after some Q.T. with my wife, and a little Wii Sports, I headed to the dungeon to attempt to finish off Won’t Get Fooled Again. Surprisingly, I 3-starred it on my first attempt of the night. Sure it was ugly, but proper overdrive management and BAM…my drummer grabbed the mallet and banged the Zildjian gong. AN-I-MAL!!! achievement unlocked!

So, I have hit my official goal before RB2 drops on September 14. Though, I still could try to do some Score Dual or Tug of War achievements, if I have time. Plus, I’m half way through tier 8 on the Expert vocal solo tour. Maybe I should just finish that. What do you think?
Have you hit your goals yet before RB2 drops, or are you still trying to get one more achievement completed?
