Probably best to do 38 of the beats on 180 BPM. Have a friend come over and do the bass pedal for you while you concentrate on the pads if you can't seem to get it. You'll also unlock the "Beat It" achievement along with this one if you have not already done so. Achievement will unlock after the last beat is finished.

Great Idea to get someone else to do the Foot Pedal :) though I could not get the rolls on 180 and even took awhile on 100

I can only get them at 60, maybe 80. 100 seems like a huge step!

quick comment you may wanna add, you can use the buttons on the drum pads during the drum trainer, it seems silly but it helped me get most of the beats i got :P

some of the 180bpm ones are ridiculous speeds, and even a few at 100bpm are ridiculous :(
how do u guys do this? are you all lars ulrich's in disguise?

im pretty good on drums and do most songs on expert, but man im blown away at how fast some are at 100bpm :( (ie toms of doom)

After a loooong time of having this game done except the beat achievements, I finally got it today. Having someone do the bass pedal for you is invaluable! +1

@Themedes lars ulrich sucks. lol i can do this because i'm a drummer for a death metal band. speed is required. this is NOTHING compared to blast beats on real drums.

Just a note, go easy on the pedal, I broke mine doing this. Fixed it with a piece of wood, duct tape and screws :D And yea Lars Ulrich is a shite drummer. It's all about Shannon Lucas, Kevin Lane and Brann Dailor.

By English Gamerrr on 17 Jun 2010 11:59

Kevin Lane isn't that good really. Try Jon Rice.

By Pizzerz on 02 Jul 2010 03:37

These beats are EZ mode.

I had more success doing all of them at 100. I did not need a foot pedaller. I do not drum in real life, and only really struggled with the fast ones and the off beat pedals. Definately the hardest achievement in the game.

It's pretty sad that anyone can call Lars 'shit' when he's a pretty competent drummer. Best in the world? Of course not. But if you want to call a drummer shit, look at someone from Good Charlotte or something, not Metallica lol

Anyone who did Toms of Doom (beat 75) at 100BPM, I take my hat off to you. That one was near impossible for me, even with someone else doing the foot pedal.
I wound up doing 38 of them at 180BPM and only just found 38 of them which I could do which was lucky.

By Flopsy86 on 14 Aug 2011 21:59

Am I the only one who would not be able to have somebody else do the pedal?

By ArcturusVI on 30 May 2012 17:57

Is there a way to know which you have completed?

By Reabo on 05 Mar 2016 15:05

Can you explain what it means to complete a beat? I did 73 of them at 180 BPM and all 76 at 140 BPM and no achievements. I did the black and blue section at 50%+ are you supposed to do more than that?

This is not an easy achievement to get. I am a middle of the road Expert drummer and I have gotten extremely frustrated over this achievement. The best advice I can give is to go for the half on 180 beats per minute. In order to get through the tougher ones, I would practice at a slower speed (140) until I could get it no problem and then play it through five or six times at 200 bpm, so that it would seem slower when I got to 180. Depending on your drumming style and skill different patterns will be easier for you so I won't recommend specific ones. Although I got this achievement solo, getting a friend to do the pedal while you do the hands will make this achievement much easier (although admittedly it takes some of the fun out of it).

The best idea is to just do half on 180 (or 200)bpm. Play through all of them and you should probably have at least 30 done. Now, go back and play all the ones you were close to getting and try again. Personally, I got stuck at 36 for a little while, but a couple of tries and I got it.

For these two achievements, you need to beat half the beats on the higher speed, or all the beats on a lower speed. I recommend doing half on the higher difficulty, as some of the beats get pretty ridiculous to get 100% on. A tip is to have a friend do the tricky parts for you, as some of the snares and bass hits are off beat, while you focus on the regular cymbals. These two are stackable, so if you do half the beats at 180BPM, you get both beat achievements.

If your not good at the drums this will be a tough one. Go to DRUM TRAINER just like the Beat It! trophy but now you have to do everything faster. I found it much easier to do half at 180BPM rather than all at 100BPM. If your really struggling on this one you should get a friend to come over and do the footpedals while you focus on the notes or vice-versa. You need to get 100% on the beat to have it count as completed. You know its completed when on the bar on the side the drum for 180BPM is highlighted green. If you get this trophy you get Beat It! as well, they are stackable.

For these two trophies in Drum Trainer Beat mode, you need to either hit half of the hits at fast speed or all of the hits at low speed. I recommend focusing on half the hits on a high difficulty level, since some hits are quite heavy and getting 100% will not be easy. The easiest way to make these trophies is to invite a friend to visit and share the task with him. A friend presses the pedal, and you completely focus on hitting the drum. If you receive this trophy, you will automatically receive the Beat It! trophy.
