Guitar Hero World Tour Drums On PC


I mentioned a while ago that I would create a how to video on using your Guitar Hero World Tour Drum kit on your PC. Thanks to Magnus’ PS360MIDI Drummer software, the ability to use the GH:WT drum kit on PC became possible. To think that you could turn a gaming controller into a high quality midi controller is amazing. Something like a Yamaha DTXpress costs $800 AU + .

I realize you can’t compare the GT:WT drum kit to fully decked electronic drum kit, but for less than $150 , the Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Kit does a pretty awesome job. Watch the videos below on how to setup your Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Kit on PC.

If you have a rock band 2 drum kit and can provide some technical data for Magnus so that he can add rock band 2 support , you can contact Magnus at magnus.ellinge[at]gmail.com







If you get a bit more serious into drum playing and/or recording, consider purchasing the full version of Addictive Drums which will give you access to the full, multiple drum kits, which by the way, sound excellent. If you don’t have a digital audio workstation, FL studio is something worth buying; I use it and can not fault it.

Have fun drum playing and if you get any videos up of your drum playing on your GT:WT drum kit, post them in the comment section!

  7. Works ok! See windows device manager if usb device is detected and driver correct installed (automatic).
    When connect wireless receiver to usb port, P360mini shall automatic detect the drum.

  9. there's a much simpler and fast solution... without PS360 MIDI drummer and loopbe1. Just install the wireless receiver and windows recognize it like a game controller (joystick). and then just use a program called REAPER wich is for recording and very affordable. it has the ability to add a joystick as a MIDI device, and you can plug any VSTi that you want for the drum sounds... just have to make a new archive guitarhero_drums.txt with a little programming but if you need that, just write me to ovarelac@hotmail.com and I'll send you the file...

    2. So what can we do? Either executing it in compatibility mode doesn't seem to work... Is there a driver which is known to work in Windows 10?
