Miss Murder! Now with Dazzling Color Pellets!

This was a request. I keep a list of all requests, but JDisturb's requests are usually songs I like so I get to them quicker :-)I'm using smaller colored dots on the pads now. A lot of people liked the colors showing, but the full-pad coloring was too grainy and distracting. So this was my attempt to fix that.I taped a small blue circle to the corner of each drum pad so I didn't have to permanently paint my pads (thanks to Mushy2000 for his ever present wisdom). I'm basically now using a blue-screen effect with a bitmap behind it that shines through the blue "holes" to show the note colors.This wasn't my best FC on this song. I show my old (best) score at the end. As usual, I'm not known for playing optimal star power paths. But 100%'s are rare for me so here's another one! I think I have something like 21 or 22 FC's total.Thanks for checking this out. Let me know if anything about this video is still annoying and I'll see what I can do to fix it for next time.FAQ:----Q: How does it work?A: Everything is explained in detail here: http://egyokeo.com/midiheroQ: How do you do 3-note chords?A: All "two adjacent note" power chords are mapped to the top 4 pads, so with two sticks I can play any 3-note chord except GYO.Q: How do you do whammy and star power?A: I use a bass drum pedal on my right foot to activate star power, and a hi-hat pedal on my left foot to control whammy depth.Q: How do you hold notes?A: My MIDI Hero software has an auto-hold feature for every note hit because it's more natural for a drummer to play that way. It's not a good feeling to mash sticks into drum pads to hold notes.Q: Why do the notes "hit" so late?A: I use a 145ms setting for the in-game HTDV Lag Calibration feature to counter the "controller lag" I have with my setup. I use it to make the sweet spot of the notes match the sound of the music, not when the notes cross the row of circles. That way, I play what I hear, but the notes burst into flames really late. This only applies to my GH2 videos and pre-update GH3 videos.Q: Which video editor do you use?A: My earlier videos were made with Windows Movie Maker. My latest videos are made Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8.Q: How much does this cost?A: The drumKat is a pro-quality MIDI drum pad set. These days, they run about $1k but I bought my set years ago. I also use a PC to run my custom home-brew MIDI Hero software to interpret the drum events. Then the "XIM" and "XFPS" add another $100+. This is not made for the masses. This is a one-of-a-kind setup.Q: Do you play real drums? Are you in a band?A: Yes, I've been playing drums since 1986. I have been in various bands from Jazz to Ska over the years. Right now I'm in the Detroit-based ska band The Exceptions.Q: Are you getting Rock Band?A: I got it, and should have my mod working with it soon. Then I'll probably have a lot more videos to post!Q: Is "MIDI Hero" available to the public?A: I plan on making it available for download in the coming weeks. Stay tuned..
