Does your brand new Guitar Hero World Tour drum set not respond properly? Well do we have a solution for you. All you have to do is download a drum tuning kit to your computer and connect your drums by using a midi-USB cable. It seems they don’t want the product returned to them, they want you to fix it. I personally like the idea of being able to tune your drums for whatever reason except for having to a fix a product right out of the box, that’s sort of ridiculous.
The fix sounds simple enough but the drum tuning kit software only works on Windows XP and Windows Vista. Folks with an earlier operating system are out of luck, oh yeah, and you Apple users can’t use this software either. Even if you do have one of the machines that are able to run this software you will need a midi-USB cable, which I am sure not everyone has just sitting around somewhere. If you fill out the form online at the link below they will send you one for free but more of your precious time has to be wasted when all you really wanted was to beat on your drums.
Similar issues occurred with the original Rock Band release and their guitars breaking down. I was a victim of this twice myself. It took almost two and a half weeks for me to even use one of their guitars. I was compensated with a free game at the time which seemed fair enough. Is anyone else sick of peripherals not working right out of the box when you are paying these crazy amounts for them?

Made in China? If so, wouldn’t surprise me. Made in China is going to hell in a hand-basket real quick with shoddy electronic and food quality control. That’s a weird combination.
Yo guys if you need that USB cable quickly go to http://www.monoprice.com and the cables there are great.
I’ll talk to you guys first but maybe I or you guys could do a post about monoprice because I have seen too many of my friends drop $60-$80 on a tin HDMI cable when I got my Gold HDMI cable which is just as good or better than theirs for $4.50. I also bought a few DVI cables from them for my computers.
yer no shit i owen it on 360 and i played it for 4 dayz and the red pad stoped working the rest worked fine so i filled out the form at the guitar hero site.
This is an old post but i just got around to tuning my drums. At first I had to literally punch my red pad to get it to register at all… so thats where i start. Got everything up and running… turned red sensitivity to 20 and gave her a smack with the stick -nothin-… punched it several times and it finally registered by the yellow and orange going off (im thinking thats just from the vibration and shake of me hitting the pad). i need to turn this thing up to 40-60 im thinking. if i hit ‘test’ on the program red goes off fine. any ideas? maybe its more than just a sensitivity problem with mine… somethign actually broken?
