Rock Band - Tips (literally) from the pros!

See the pic... I went shopping for some rubber practice pads (much like the official ones for the Rockband Drumkit) but went to a music shop not a game shop, They said they had had many requests from gamers with the problem of the irritating tapping whilst playing RockBand at lower volume levels, in order to maintain the sensitivity of the pads, the drum chap at the shop recommended these little rubber caps for sticks. I have since tried them with a stick and by-jove they are much better and at only £1.99, much cheaper than buying practice pads.
