I don't see how a non-drummer could play some of the expert tracks without just practicing them forever.
And if/when they could play them, simply get them behind a kit, have them learn how to hit the drums & cymbals properly, and they're ready to play in front of a crowd.

Of course, it's hilarious and pretty interesting to see these guys on YouTube scoring perfects on expert drums, even, but their fills are completely unrhythmic POSs.

They can learn the parts, when the notes are given/required, but can they "feel" the music and play organically?
Yeah when I'm playing with friends and the fill parts come up for the drums, I always say before we start playing I will say "skip it" or "hit it" to get the drum star power. You get no extra points for the fills and since its the only way the drummer can initiate star power theres no use in a crappy fill that will more than likely throw the rest of the group off.

The guys doing the expert drums on youtube have got to be actual drummers. I know one or 2 of the videos I've see the guy was a real drummer you could tell just by his technique.
