QUOTE(chinook @ Nov 14 2008, 08:43 AM)
i usually hit the toms with the round thing on the top of the stick (sorry, i dont know all the correct drum terms). with the cymbals, i use a lil bit of the stick body to hit em. by doing this, i can hit the cymbal lighter and yet still get all my hits registered without fail.

i was doing this all the while with the yellow cymbal cuz it's on the left (i usually hit the yellow with my right) that's why i didn't notice anything on the yellow. But as soon as i tried hitting the yellow cymbal like how i would a tom, it didnt register all of my hits.

after a lil experimenting i finally got it to work properly with the method above =D
*
It's called the tip of the stick. laugh.gif
On my set, the yellow cymbal got less or almost no sensitivity around the edge of the cymbal. It register properly when I hit the center of the cymbal. Others are ok. nod.gif

I only have two complains about the instruments:
1. The touch strip label of the guitar should be on the itself to make it more visible, instead on the strip.
2. Wish the cymbals can be rise higher and can adjust its tilt degree.

Yeah, you need the USB-MIDI cable. You can get the cable at big music shops (i.e Bentley Music), they should have it.
I'm not sure if you can get it at LYP (ie Sri Computer), but yeah you can try your luck. nod.gif

Oh...Van Halen's Hot for Teacher and Blink 182's Damnit drums are damn tough even on Easy! cry.gif

Crap. Now I'M having problems with the red snare. I cranked the sensitivity waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up, but it's hardly responding. Drum rolls for songs like On the Road Again is impossible to play now...... sigh.......... might have to return it to Gamer's Hideout now..........

hehehe... same here i already have to send the whole set already... ayooo mo$$$$$$$$ lost here..

My red snare also went loco. Two days ago, the sensitivity went lower and lower. Yesterday night, it doesn't register hits at all, even with tremendous whacking.
I'm going to retune it next week and then see whether it will change or not.

Plus, any idea where to get the mic stand ?

Gamers Hideout selling Mad Catz mic stand for RM 130. This stand featured gamepad holder for PS2/PS3, 360 and Wii.
Alternatively, you can visit nearest music instruments shop. They usually have it.

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Nov 27 2008, 03:26 PM)
The problem, is the wire connecting the sensors. It's held together by a small piece of rubber cement, which can easily come loose after constant drumming.... especially the Red pad.

For the past few days, I couldn't figure out why the stupid pad STILL gives problems, even though it's a brand new set. So I tak boleh tahan and opened up the kit.

I noticed that the wires that were holding it down already lost contact with the metal piece, so I removed the glue and use electrical tape to hold it down. Also, I snipped of come of the wire casing so more of the contact point is exposed.

Tape it all down and run it through the tuning kit to balance the drums and now it works AMAZINGLY.

Chapree..... I suspect this is the same problem for you as well.

Well, let's see how my current set hold up 1st, then maybe I try your reinforcement fix.
It's a very through guide, thanks for sharing! notworthy.gif

For those who asked about the free MIDI cable from Red Octane...the answer is no, they don't ship to Malaysia. sad.gif
Exact quote from Red Octane support:

QUOTE
Unfortunately Red Octane does not ship to Malaysia currently. If you wish to tune the sensitivity on your drum set, then you may need to purchase a standard midi cable to use with the tuning software. Please note that not all midi cables have been known to work with the tuning software, however this may be your only option to tune the sensitivity on the drum set.

Well, I personally dun really like the Mad Catz stick. It doesn't bounce well and I have to ketuk kuat2 as my kit sensitivity is not high enough to play light. That being said, what drumsticks are you guys using? hmm.gif

Hurm, i have myself here the GHWT guitar bundle and it says there it's PAL. Is it actually region free? Cuz I'm sort of afraid it won't play on asian consoles.

That depends.
Sometimes for harder songs like Tom Sawyer and Green Grass and High Tides that have 16th beat hi-hat hittings,I use the Rock Band drumsticks.
Same goes for World Tour with Everlong.They're nice and light,so it's easy to hit fast.

But for easier songs that don't go that fast,I use my real drumsticks,because they're nice and heavy,so they feel right and they don't drop notes so easily.

My dad uses the light Guitar Hero drumstick for his left hand, and then a heavier DW one for his right hand.

Hmm, what size, type (hickory, oak, maple, metal etc) and brands did those stick have? I mean those non-GH or RB drumsticks.

Oh by the way,did you guys hear about Guitar Hero Metallica?
Of course you did,but I bet you guys don't know that it's gonna be based off the World Tour engine,so it will feature Guitar,Bass,Vocals and Drums biggrin.gif

It will feature classics such as Master of Puppets,Enter Sandman(inb4lrn2rockband),Fuel,and Sad but True.

Just like Guitar Hero Aerosmith,it will be about 60% Metallica, 40% their personal choices,including Lynyrd Skynard,Judas Priest,Foo Fighters,Slayer and Queen.

Although it's not compatible with all GH3 or World Tour DLC,it will pick up your Death Magnetic DLC.

Also,yay no sign of any St.Anger music smile.gif

GH: Metallica is coming around March 2009 according to this: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/16/guitar-h...-in-early-2009/
I'm wishing for a double pedal expansion for this game. Come on, it's Ulrich we talking about here...

Anyone have tried to redeem GHWT free DLC's? --> http://freemusic.guitarhero.com/


QUOTE(kaypopotamus @ Dec 17 2008, 03:03 PM)
hey guys, just bought my super bundle from GH yesterday!..seeing its my first time with the drums, i dont know if i'm making a wrong observation or is this a real problem... i find that the sensitivity on the blue and yellow is much less compared to the others...

its like i can 'roll' on the red and green with ease..and orange too.. but i cant roll on the blue and yellow... its like machine gun, trrrr-pause-trrrrrr-pause...

any advice?

The default sensitivity is pretty much random I believe. The only way is to retune it to your satisfaction.

noob questions:
1) how do i retune it? are there any ways i can do it in the game?

2) i tried going to the free download website...where do i get my serial number? :S i check behind my xbox its only 12 digits? the owner id from manual is behind the game book right? haha how silly..ok i checked already

3) any way to cheat and download more than 5? haha
*
Q1: You have to obtain the USB-MIDI cable and download the tuner software from GH website. Red Octane is not sending the cable to Malaysia, so you have to either buy or borrow it from somebody.

Q3: Hahaha, got...read the previous posts. But then, think it this way...isn't that they will email you back for instructions to download those DLCs? Who knows, they might actually filter out those application that bypassed "owner ID" thing. laugh.gif

There will be an "expert plus" difficulty for drums which will allow you to add a 3.5mm jack splitter to your pedal output and add an additional pedal to play double bass notes.
