I put all the screws back on and the whole time I was doing that I knew it wouldn’t be the last time I would be doing this. We only screwed a couple of screws on and tried it and it worked brilliantly. Anyway, I exposed more of the wire, scraped away the glue and taped down the wire to the pad. ![]() My son and I were amazed at what we saw to a point where all we could do was laugh. The wire to the red drum was not even connected, it had come right off. ![]() ![]() I have to mention that when I finally got all the screws off I was shocked to see how badly all the components had been finished and how tight the cabling was to all drums. I just want to note that when I googled the problem your site was one of the first which is why I landed here first. I tried “Good Inputs” fix that was clearly explained on your site and … YIPPEE!! IT WORKED!! I also left a thank you note at for their fix. I am bookmarking this for future reference!! We bought ours at Game Stop, and I believe they are very strict about not wanting to exchange, but have you contact Activision instead. So you saved us the headache of trying to get the whole thing replaced. So today we are going to go through and do it again. We attached the wire with plastic tape but feel maybe we did not secure it quite enough. We fixed it & it began to work again, but then stopped. Sure enough we followed these instructions, and the red wire was completely loose from where it should have been attached. Alas we went to the “practice” & saw for sure the red drum was not playing, or would play every once in a while. On the next song I saw that no “light” came off the red “note” on the music highway. My husband & I continued to play, but still something seemed wrong. Thanks All! □ Last night we were rocking out on World Tour and I began to notice it seemed I was “off beat” on the red drum. It’s really simple, don’t be afraid (look at what I’ve said and the GOOD INPUT website say… You don’t have anything to worry about. I’ve actually done this for all the cables now, and it’s brilliant. I was able to do about 4mm once I had removed the cushion and allowed more tension. I used my teeth, but you can use a knife or a pair of scissors). You only need to expose the wire a little bit (and the wire is thin, so be careful doing it. Basically they have done a shoddy job with the soldering. So you need to lessen the tension, and like I said in my post above, expose the wire a bit, and then stick in directly on the sensor (ignoring the glue or solder bit they used). Trust me, when I play now, there is no hard hitting at all. That is why you have to hit the drums hard or quickly. Not sure why they have done this? So because the cable is too short, there is too much tension, and that is why it’s not making good contact onto the sensor. The cable is too short, or they have the cable lying over a rubber or soft cushion block. In a little under 15 minutes, we had the problem solved and the red drum is working better than ever. I found the exact problem as described on the web site. There are quite a bit of screws on the back, but fear not, it comes apart really easily. Nothing ventured nothing gained I thought and decided to open my drum kit up. ![]() In that time I found a brilliant website called Good Input and they explained ‘ How to fix the drums for Guitar Hero World Tour‘. I gave the number a ring and gave up after listening to the same repeated message “ we are busy, please stay on the line“. The shop representive gave me a number to call and said “Don’t worry, just call them up, explain the problem, and they will tell you where you can get a replacement”. Great I thought, so they can fix it… Alas, they don’t have any in stock. Apparently loads of people have called up with the same problem. I called GAME at Bluewater, the shop where I bought it from and they confirmed this as well. I went online and surprise surprise, quite a few people all around the world are experiencing exactly the same problem. The music choice is better and the game play is a lot more exciting and rewarding, but hey, that is our opinion.Īnyway, this morning the bloody red drum refused to work from the start. Jo and I and Whiskey (pictured) tried out Rock Band last night and think it’s actually better than Guitar Hero World Tour. A really awesome experience once everyone in the band knows their roles and plays properly. So we’ve played Guitar Hero World Tour a couple time now since I bought the game 6 days ago.
