one cymbal... ONE Cymbal!!! argh!!!
Guitar works fine, drums work fine... but for ONE CYMBAL!
This is truly frustrating

People, there is a fix for under-sensitive cymbals. It only takes 3 inches of tape and 5 minutes. You can see it here:

It will probably work for the drums too, I'll try it tonight on drums and post a video if it works.

I was exchange my son's Guitar Bundle, faulty strum bar. And FWIW both Rb2 and GHWT are great, the good thing about it people is competition, this will benefit us all, with "greater" products like the touch pad, better instrumnets like the Ion Drum set. The GHWT faulty instruments just took me by surprise. Mass production is the problem and deadlines to meet.

The irony of the situation is so sweet. It's just like, you know, Rock Band 1's release, only about twice as bad.

new on redoctane's site:
"Please note that drum tuning software is now available for the drum kit. If none of the above information solves your problem it is very likely that adjusting the drum sensitivity with the software will solve your problem. Click here for information on the drum tuning kit."

I only got the guitar and game pack, because I knew the drums would be problematic plus they're too expensive. My Guitar works well. The strummer sometimes strums when i don't want it to. If that happens to you, I suggest using the touch pad to strum. I think the strummer sometimes doesn't flick back into position and the guitar picks up that your still holding it down, or up.

I bought The Guitar World Tour for the PS3 and it has a big problem.
The guitar will only sync to be a drum and vice versa.

Has anyone heard of similar happening?

I got GH:WT for Christmas and .i was so excited. then after about an hour of drum play the yellow cymbal completely stopped working and the down strum on my guitar quite often skipped when i hit it. I chose the WT set over rock band because it looked more reliable but how wrong i was. I WAS a big fan of the first 3 guitar hero games on PS2 and my GH2 guitar never had a even a minor problem, but I have lost all respect for Guitar Hero and Activision and will NEVER buy there instruments again. Stick with the ORIGINAL makers of Guitar Hero, Harmonix.

P.S Rock band 2 has a FAR bettor track list than Guitar Hero
