Why are there no good WT drums players?

Seems like WT drums have higher scoring potential, yet compare the RB drums high scores:

to the WT drums:

RustyWaffle is a good WT drums player but everyone else on that list is getting smoked by the RB drums. o_O

Most WT drums are faulty, also, the game is Guitar Hero. GUITAR. The main focus is the guitar. With Rockband, the key word is BAND. So it's more focus on a full band game.

What I figure anyway.

Give me another couple days, I'll be in 2nd place.

I wouldn't have been quite as blunt as the topic title

, but I do notice the rankings are...lacking? I'm going to guess this is a first-time drum experience for many players, but because this is Scorehero they feel compelled to play on Expert. Also, there are problems with the drums but I would think most people wouldn't put their faulty-equipment scores in.

I guess we just have to wait for the drum community to grow.

Once that drum calibration thing is up on Guitarhero.com I think more people will submit scores.

Look closer and count how many people have actually passed all of the songs. Not many... and one song can equal a lot of points, so that would account for the huge spreads between players. Secondly, since this is GH, the pro drumming people will probably come from the RB side - these are the guys with modded RB kits or whatever fancy thing you can do to plastic drum kits. They're not gonna want to spend that much time with possibly/probably faulty GH:WT drumsets... that's how I figure it anyway. In the end they should even up though, since the drumkit tuning program is up now.

Give it awhile, and compare them again when more people have beaten the game :P

I think a lot of people, drummers that is, enjoy RB more and feel that's where the real competitive atmosphere is?

I haven't touched WT in almost 2 weeks, back to RB1/RB2 trying to improve scores.

Gimped ION support in GHWT, OD actitivation, Y/R mapping, and an absolutely shitty interface don't make the game as fun as RB for me.

Also the timing window was making me sloppy. Playing BYOB on the different games is night and day. RB is a lot tighter.

I'm just enjoying RB2 and me existing 300ish song collection more I guess?

I might go back to GHWT after I feel I've maxed out my RB2 scores, but right now there's nothing pulling me towards it.

i do agree that virtually no one is either good at wt drums or submits scores. (check out scream aim fire on expert...i could get a 1.0x and be in the top 10 lol) but i did come across this guy on youtube who i think is good at drums

I imagine the switching up is harder. 4 pads on equal levels are a lot easier to hit then 5 pads with 2 higher. and the extra 15 points per hard hit note aren't exactly shooting you very far ahead...

I'm going to submit a few scores for the lulz

I love LOVE expert drums in this game.

If my drumset didn't screw up half of the notes played, I'd be good..

Sometimes when I hit the red pad, the yellow pad goes off.
Also, when I play a R+Y note, the red pad will not register causing me to miss it, which makes my score blow. It's really annoying <_<
