Sure. But you can still work on those things while playing the game, those
aspects of your performance just won't be accurately recorded or scored.
My drums (from 'band hero', typically considered the best ones they ever
made) do report impact sensitivity, although it's not used by the game for
some reason.

For me, I never played drums, and there's a lot of motor skills required to
tightly synchronise all those limbs that are perfectly applicable skills I
developed while playing those games.
I was so sloppy synchronising hands and feet at first, and my left hand was
kinda gump, would never keep up with my right hand in rolls, and when i
tried to synchronise fast double kicks with hand rolls... keeping all those
motions tight is stuff I wouldn't have if I didn't play those games.
