Yeah, Balance Board drumming is the only way to go. It can take quite some time to master, but it's so satisfying when you do. If you can pass all of the lessons though, you'll be more than ready to put together some good beats.

It always makes me laugh actually when I think about how so many people shrugged off Wii Music as being overly casual, yet obtaining gold crowns on all of the drumming lessons is without doubt one of the most difficult things to achieve in any Wii game. I'd love to lock all of those "hardcore gamers" in a room and say "right, you can't leave here until you either fully complete all drumming lessons, or you admit that Wii Music is awesome". I guarantee around 99% of them would have a change of heart.

By the way, these are great rechargeable batteries to use for the Balance Board. Quite pricey, but they last for ages. And they don't discharge very much at all when not in use.
