Yeah, it sounds like I shouldn't invest too much drum time until I get RB2; I'll probably give Hard a try in RB1, but if I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall, I'll stop.

That new "Drum Trainer" feature is actually quite impressive. There are enough beat patterns to explore and you have control over the speed that you play them. The beats get progressively difficult and the progression through the entire set of beats feels very natural for learning the drums. They also teach you some very nice fills (appropriate patterns for the overdrive/star power activation sections. Those make you feel like a real drummer and cause extreme satisfaction when you nail one on 180 beats per minute. Other than the fill trainer, all this could be probably be simulated in the practice mode of RB1, but its inclusion in the second iteration is a valuable one. Enjoy!
