How to Troubleshoot the Drum Kit for 'Guitar Hero World Tour'

Playing "Guitar Hero World Tour" can be great fun. However, the enjoyment becomes limited if one of the musical components isn't functioning properly. In particular, drum kits for "Guitar Hero" games can be troublesome. Fortunately, there are many ways you can troubleshoot problems with the drum kit that may save you time and money for repairs or replacement.

Things You'll Need

• "Guitar Hero World Tour" video game
• "Guitar Hero World Tour" drum kit
• Applicable video game console

Instructions

1. Confirm that the drum set is receiving power and a signal. Make sure any corresponding controllers have batteries. Assure that any USB or wireless receivers connecting your drum kit are firmly inserted into the controller port.

2. Test another drum pad or cymbal for response if you find that one of either is not working. Go to practice mode and test every other drum pad or cymbal for response. If only one pad does not work, it may need repair or replacement.

3. Test your foot pedal by applying more and less pressure alternately if it is not responding. You may be negating response by pushing too hard or soft. Apply this method for sensitivity problems with the drum pads and cymbals as well.
