Chad Smith is stoked about the idea and loves the thing: “It’s a real as you can get. For a Video game, it’s impressive. If it holds up to me beating on it, it should be pretty good.”
It looks as if Travis Barker does some motion capture for the game. “One of the things I has actually said when I was asked to be involved with this was, ‘will it be an exact interpretation of what that drummer is playing? Can I close my eyes and play a song I wrote the drum part for and socre a perfect score if I’m playing it right?’ And it was, ‘yes.'”
Man .. at first I wasn’t at all into this idea, but now I can see myself getting excited for it. I am cautiously optimistic.
Thanks to Big Drum Thump.

The final leg starts at Scotiabank Place on Thursday.
“We will have completed our mission,” said Copeland in a phone interview, “and we feel very strongly that we want to get back to the other aspects of our lives as creative artists, and the Police is not about being creative artists.”
