I find this particularly funny because one of my friends started playing drums on Rock Band all the time and it got him into playing real drums.
Also I think it should be noted that Rock Band/Guitar Hero are not substitutes because they are very different from actually playing the instrument. I play electric bass and although I find these games very fun they cannot replace the real thing. To kind of illustrate this, the first time I ever played Guitar Hero I thought it would be easy since I play a real instrument but this was definitely not the case and it took me a few hours to get used to the game. Muscians need to stop complaining.
