For some reason I just can't get past War Ensemble. It's not because of stamina issues, it's just that about 20 seconds into the song I manage to get off-tempo and I fail instantly. Any tips on how to stay on tempo?

First, make sure you have hyperspeed at a level you're comfortable with when playing these ridiculously fast songs. When I play songs as Caught in a Mosh or War Ensemble, I tend to do better when I play with hyperspeed 3 (as opposed to HS 2).

If this doesn't help, try playing the fast parts mostly by ear, only looking at the screen to see the variations in the rhythm. Raising the volume of the TV often helps when trying to find the beat.

If you still keep failing, you can also try to stop playing immediately when you notice you're getting off beat. Then continue playing one or two bass notes further and repeat this until you pass these sections.

Generally what I do when I get off beat in War Ensemble, is stop playing for a second, then just play the Yellow/Bass, while playing the Yellow with two hands like its a moderately fast roll, and when I rebuild my stamina/tempo, I start playing it like normal.

Also, when you play the fast double bass, play it like you would in Expert, playing every other bass note, and pull a Jordan (activate SP when you need) if you need <_< it helps...if I try playing all the double bass I lose my tempo INSTANTLY

try playing with your heel up on the bass pedal for the fast sections, the main thing to try and do is focus on alternating kick pedal and snare, the cymbal hits are constant.

i had the same problem with TTFAF but once you find somethin comfortable as far as the bass pedal goes (playing heel up was mine) you'll find it much easier to get through it.

but like i said the key is to alternate your left hand and your foot so they arent hitting together

As I probably posted in another place, make sure you hit the downbeat yellow+bass, as it will keep you moving through the part. I haven't played the song in a while, but I remember there's some crazy fill in before the main verse, so if you can, try to focus on the main downbeat hit, even if it means completely skipping that fill.
