The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

As many have experienced, playing drums on Guitar Hero: World Tour takes a lot more effort then on Rock Band. The amount of strength required for a note to register is much greater on Guitar Hero and this has pissed people off. But sure enough if enough people bitch about a common problem there is bound to be a solution proposed. As poor of an attempt it is a program deemed the "Drum Controller Standard Tuning Kit" has been released for windows. (As usual, Mac users are out of luck, eat that Justin Long.) The program is supposed to allow you to adjust the sensitivity of your plastic drum kit.

If your a "drummer" and face this problem, this program may seem like a prayer answered, however, things get ugly. To be able to use this program you have to connect your drum kit (which is wireless) to your PC so an additional wire must be used, a Midi-USB cable. Red Octane is giving these away to Guitar Hero owners but if this is anything like the Rock Band instrument replacement I wouldn't expect to be drumming stress-free anytime this year.
