Taiko was fun, and I didn't mind having to get it right on the money. I largely played that with my eyes because some of the tunes go so fast I can't follow them by ear anyway.
I think, with rock band, and having a fako drum kit to play on, I wanted to play by ear like you do in real music. But you have to watch the visual cues in the game, which is distracting to me when I have an instrument to play. I guess it's like reading sheet music though. I did that with classical guitar without issues. I think, with the fako drum kit in front of me, I just wanted to thrash around like you do in a jam session, but the game wouldn't let me do that.
