So while the Guitar Hero: World Tour drum kit didn’t turn out to be as flawless as we may have hoped, the device that purported to solve most issues related to sensitivity by allowing you to connect it to a PC for tuning was suspiciously absent from the New Zealand section of the Red Octane Warrantee site – which you had to find four clicks deep from the Activision Support link given in the box. Well the happy ending to this story is that (according to senor Newsboy,) the connector became available on the site late last night, so those people registering double hits/kicks or none at all can get to tuning and then back to rocking. To deviate for a moment though – does anyone else find it amusing that this page lists the solution to every piece of the kits sensitivity issues as “try hitting it harder/softer”? Sure, I bet there are some real apes and possibly some children which are wondering why their hits aren’t registering correctly, but for “velocity sensitivity” to have been such a selling point, only for them to turn around now and say “well, there’s actually a specific range we’d prefer you to hit it in…” – Nice one.
