Rock Band Hint: How to store your drumsticks

I'm loving Rock Band!  One helpful hint I learned by accident by watching the credit videos in the game ... there was a scene where people are yappin' about something, and in the background, they show the drumset with the drumsticks sitting nicely on top of it.  I thought, "You can't do that on the actual drumset," but you can!  Just pull out the little plastic tabs on the top front of the yellow and blue pads.  Voila, drumstick holder! As for actual gameplay, I've comleted "easy" level on drums and have started "medium."  I didn't even bother with easy on guitar, as it is far too easy, so I'm starting with medium there. Laurel and I have played together as a band with her on vocals and guitar and me on drums, but she doesn't like many of the songs so we can't play too much variety.
