It’s important to note that certain games may have compatibility issues with specific drum sets. Factors such as different manufacturers, models, or firmware versions can contribute to compatibility challenges. Here are some points to consider: If the note or chord is a sustain then you must hold all the indicated frets without releasing. During this time, your score increases by 25 points per beat while the sustain lasts. Be aware, chords do not compound the sustain score, holding 1 fret or more will always increase the score by only 25 points per beat. U.S.C. 282 Presumption of validity; defenses. – Patent Laws".

Understanding Drum Compatibility

Several games in the series feature caricatures of celebrity artists, such as Slash, Tom Morello and Bret Michaels in Guitar Hero III, Ozzy Osbourne and Jimi Hendrix in World Tour, Kurt Cobain in Guitar Hero 5, and Taylor Swift and the band No Doubt in Band Hero. The band-specific games, Aerosmith, Metallica, and Van Halen also feature the members of the respective bands. However, in late 2009, both Courtney Love and the members of No Doubt sought legal action against Activision for the misuse of their in-game characters singing or performing songs by other artists, which the musicians believe fell outside of their contract.
