Hi all,

Now let me first explain myself.. For those who don't know me im a pretty hardcore gamer and get to test lots of the latest equipment and games for xbox 360 and review them but i thought i had better let everyone know about how bad the GHWT drumkits are.

Ok.. lets start.. I bought my original GHWT drumkit on the worldwide release last year and before i got to finish GHWT my drumkit was returned 3 x times in full which took around 1 month..

By the time i got my 3rd drumset back it was finally working like it should and i was able to complete just able everthing on expert+..

Well, today.. another 3-4 months later and my KIT is back to doing the same old thing.. Im opening the sucker today but i can guarantee you all that it is just faulty workmanship..

So with all that said.. Save your money and wait for a ION drumkit to come out which is 100% compatible with Guitar Hero or just go and play rock band..

this is a joke.. all this money for a kit and it break constantly..
Let's hope they have this sorted for the new GH5 hardware.

sorry to ramble..

maybe if i used my whole body weight wes..lol.. my whole 60-65kg..lol
I was just owning online and my red drum died..

I just pulled the biatch apart then and its the red sensor.. The glue has come off yet again.. what a joke.. So i guess ill be modding myself.

Ill let everyone know how i go.. Im sure i can fix it no dramas but thats not the point,.. I paid top $$$ for this kit and its been nothing but trouble..

Isn't it possible to use the rock band drums to play on guitar hero world tour?

If you use the Rock Band Kit on any GH games it will drop a color.

IONs drop a colour too. But yeah the GHWT kit is horrific, I gave up and got my IONs.. the tuner for the PC is a fat load of good.

id also like to say that my experiance with the ghwt has been dissapointing i got the solus guitar pack and i didnt even realise at first but it wasnt working straight out of the box, the downstroke didnt work consistantly, i did an rma which took forever and i got a 2nd guitar sent, but that also was defective when u press the green button it also registers the next fret button so i swapped the neck of this one with the other and have 1 perfect working wireless and 1 with 2 defects :S ill crack it open and try and sort it eventually but im waiting for my one working one to break down which is much expected, then ill repair both. Shoddy and cheap feeling.
