As much as I love drumming in Rock Band, it's not quite the same. You don't learn good technique, or how to read music, or the lingo and vocabulary that go together with real proficiency at percussion instruments.
That being said, most drummers don't know how to read music either. The old joke: "How do you get your drummer to slow down if he's playing too fast? Put sheet music in front of him."
