Guitar Hero IV Problem ... anyone else?

Okay flame me all you want for this, but my boys love the game and its a great way for the whole family to enjoy game time together.

So anyway back on subject ...

I know there is an issue with the drum sensitivity, but to anyone else here who owns the game, have you had a problem or heard of a problem with the cords that connect the cymbals breaking?

Over the weekend my kids complained to me that the cymbals had stopped working. When I went down to check it out, I noticed that both cords that connect to the cymbals had broken off from the connectors.

Has anyone else with the game on here (if you'll admit it lol) seen or heard about this also. Ive contacted Activision but still waiting to hear back from them.

For what system?

Sorry should have said that, its for the Wii ...

Figured that the cables that plug into the cymbals from the base drum set were the same across all the systems.

I have the wii. I have guitar hero 3. I'm curious about this because I'm thinking about getting this for xmas for my family. I can't help you, but I'll be reading this thread though.

I originally thought maybe my kids had done something, but given that both cables broke the same way I find it tough that they would have done so.

Its almost like the wires were not soldered very well and the playing of the drums broke the solder and wires just came out of the connector.

this is from the wii fanboy site:

Some Guitar Hero: World Tour players are reporting sensitivity issues with the drums -- basically, that they have to pound the hell out of them to register a hit. If you're tired of having to go all Keith Moon all the time, Activision and Neversoft have a solution for you, and it's kind of an unexpected one: drum sensitivity tuning software.

Activision has released Windows-based tuning software which will allow players to connect their drum kits to their PCs and manually alter the sensitivity of each input. If that doesn't help, provided your overworked (but totally buff) arms can deal with the searing pain of motion long enough to lift the phone, you can report your sensitivity issues to Activision online or by phone at (310)255-2050.

My friend worked on the Wii version of the new guitar hero - I'll ask him for you. Seriously. (Unless somebody else answers the question before I can get to him)

Yeah I know about this ... however my problem isnt a sensitivity issue (Aside from the wife maybe saying that I dont have enough), but that the cables that connect the cymbals to the drum kit broke.

As an aside ... thats pretty pissy that the tuning kit is windows only.

Yeah Id be interested in hear from him about this ... it really looks like the wires just pulled right out of the connectors themselves.
