Re: Rock Band 2
Practice outside of the game. Do single stroke rolls(right/left/right/left etc..) while listening to a metronome. Set it about 120-150 BPM and do four taps for every one click(16th notes).
1-ee-and-uh-2-ee-and-uh-3-ee-and-uh-4-ee-and-uh-1 etc...
It sounds like a lot of trouble, but people who play the song over and over end up pushing and straining and banging their heads against the wall. That can take weeks, even months. From my first attempt on Iron Maiden, it took exactly five half hour practices over the course of a week and a half to go from not being able to play it at all, to being able to beat it. Muscle memory develops really fast in your wrists and fingers.
The bonus is, after you do that, you'll be much better at the rest of the songs, and the coordination that comes from slow practice makes the game more fun to play. You'll be nailing things you've never practiced before, just because of that time put in.
Pro Tip: If you need to be quiet, practice on your leg.
