With all the different systems it can be a little bit frustrating trying to get this guitar to work there, and those drums to work here. Guiter Hero lets you play drums or guitar to your heart's content on almost every system. Now that Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour have been out for a while, we can finally experience for ourselves what “drum compatibility” means.. Getting the drums to work on the PC can be a bit tricky, but with some work it can be done. If you got into Guitar Hero from the onset, your Les Paul or original USB X-Plorer guitar is going to offer you a "free" wired bass guitar for Rock Band or Rock Band 2. However, “compatibility” doesn’t mean you’ll get a good drumming experience out of it. MTV’s gaming blog has a nice writeup on both scenarios: Fact: Guitar Hero World Tour's new drum kit peripheral has more things to hit than the kit Harmonix introduced a year ago for Rock Band.But the Rock Band kit … They promised, and it’s true: either game can be played with either drumset.
