Yeah, it's a problem for me too. That's the main reason I post for interest
from others. If there's team involvement, I feel a greater sense of
enthusiasm and responsibility, and it becomes a lot harder to ignore :)
What's your key skillset?

Mmm, I'm a guitar player too, and have decent rhythm, but never really
played drums. Guitar Hero/Rock Band alone took me from not being able to
play drums, to being able to physically play drums reasonably well.
I knew I reached a milestone when I was playing Neil Peart songs without
trouble! :P
Actually, these games are much better for drums than guitar, since the
drums on hardest difficulty is an accurate representation of the recording
artist's skills, whereas the little plastic guitars are only good for
hand-eye coordination and rhythmic skill.
