Do your yellow and orange cymbals for Guitar Hero World Tour seem to be not sensitive enough? Watch this video for a very, very, VERY simple way to fix your cymbals so that they will be more sensitive. All you need is a screwdriver and some tape. Any kind of tape will do; masking tape or electrical tape. We actually used electric tape and it works fine. Thanks to duffman3 from youtube.com for coming up with the solution and taking the time and effort to make this video . It was really, really helpful! Thanks also goes out to Servo101 from Pinoyxbox for finding this video online and posting it on Pinoyxbox.com to help other users in the community who recently bought the Guitar Hero World Tour Band Set.

We posted our impressions of Guitar Hero World Tour over on pinoyxbox.com Scytherage: Just got the Guitar Hero World Tour Complete Band Kit. 1. Graphics - better, more colorful, more detailed and more creative than Rock Band 2 (whose graphics were really just recycled from Rock Band 1....) 2. Drum Kit - 5x better than Rock Band 1's (because of the 'quieter' drum pads and the wireless functionality) Cymbals add a whole new dynamic to the game (makes it feel like an upgrade from Rock Band 1's drum kit). The pedal slides away if you don't position it right. If it had a heavier base or something to keep it from moving, the drum kit would have been 6x more awesome than Rock Band 1's drum kit :D 3. Guitar - Bigger than the GH3 guitar, feels more solid; huge strumbar hahaha! But great quality as usual, and as expected from Activision/Red Octane. Touch pad---I haven't used it in a song yet, just about to learn the new mechanics. 4. Best played with the METALLICA DEA...

I found a nice, large picture for the drum kit for Guitar Hero World Tour (GH4) online. Looks great! I just hope they can solve the problems that the Rock Band drum kit had: - the Rock Band drum pedals break easily (ours hasn't broken yet but we've read online that it really does break easily; we had to modify ours with rubber stoppers to prevent it from breaking). - the Rock Band pads are so loud, so sometimes it's hard to hear the notes that are playing in the game when you hit the pads hard enough. I also read they're prone to breaking if you hit them too hard too. - Lastly, I also read that the Rock Band drum pads aren't sensitive enough for playing through some songs on Hard or Expert difficulty. It can't keep up when you're drumming really, really fast on some songs. Activision can capitalize on these mistakes from EA/Harmonix and make a better drumkit. Now, if only they had access to a better list of songs and had more downloadable content.....
