Upgraded Replacement Cymbal Cables
We are constantly receiving emails from readers who are looking for replacement cymbal cables for the Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Kit. It seems the most common cause of these cymbal cables breaking is that people either twist the cymbals all the way around or take them off, forgetting that they have a cable coming from the bottom of them, and with only a slight tug... 'snap'! To that end we happy to bring you our exclusive Upgraded Cymbal Cables
Made from thicker, more durable wire, they also have plugs which are straight (as opposed to the angled ones on GHWT cables) which have a much greater surface area to grip onto the cable. They are also longer, allowing you to leave yourself a bit of slack in the wire for when your ham fisted friends try and take the cymbal off! If you are not sure if it is your cymbal or the cable that is broken have a look at these useful steps to finding out
They are easy to fit requiring only the small phillips or torx screwdriver needed to get the back off your drums then its plug and play!

will these cables work with band hero also

Hi Marlon
No these will not work with the Band Hero Drum Kit, only the Guitar Hero Kit with the wedge shaped cymbals. We have got a kit almost ready for Band Hero cymbal repair but we have to do just a bit more testing with it before we release it, check back soon for updates though!
Thanks

My Band Hero Drum Kit (with wedge shaped cymbals)says Guitar Hero on the underside. I am just double checking that these wires won’t work (my orange cymbal wire snapped in half)and I have no idea where to get a replacement or how to fix it.

Hi Nicole
If your drum kit says Guitar Hero on the underside and it has wedge shaped cymbals then we would class it as a Guitar Hero World Tour Drumkit even if it came with the Band Hero game (a lot of them did earlier in the production of Band Hero), and in this case these cable will work just fine.
Thanks

Will this work on a Wii Band Hero round symbol? My dumb A$$ cat ate through one of the wires…

Hi Howard,
No sorry this will not work on the Band Hero drum kit but we are working on a band hero version that we will launch on bandherorepair.com as soon as it is finished.
Thanks
