My Rock Band 2 Drums Don't Work for Guitar Hero: World Tour on the PS3

"Rock Band 2" and "Guitar Hero: World Tour" are video games in the music rhythm genre. They are available on several video game consoles, including the PS3. Players in both of these games have the option of playing one of several different instruments, including the drums. Instruments are released simultaneously with each game, featuring improvements or changes from the previous sets of instruments. However, these instruments can take up a lot of space. Fortunately, many instruments are compatible with multiple games, including the PS3 "Rock Band 2" drums. If you are having trouble using them with "Guitar Hero: World Tour," it is possible to resolve the problem.
