Opening the band hero drum kit is a simple procedure requiring only one tool - a Torx T10 screwdriver

The image below shows the location of all the screws which must be removed to gain access to the inside of the drums. Once the screws are all removed the back of the drums will come away quite easily.

Things to note

• You will need a screwdriver that will reach down to the top 2 screws as shown in the image - they are the deepest of all the screws and a short bit / driver combination may not fit - check this first! Our 8 in 1 Torx Screwdriver Sets are fully compatible
• All the holes are at an angle - if you approach from the direction suggested by the image you will find it a lot easier
• The two bottom screws (as shown in the image) are located under the rubber feet - simply pry these off then remove the screws from underneath.

Although it may sound far fetched it seems that Activision really have started work on the next, next lot of games!

A concept artist mentioned on his blog that he had been working for Activision on Band Hero 3 and Guitar Hero 7, this article has now been taken down (probably after a rather heated call from a PR office), as we have only just started to get the first details of Guitar Hero 6 and Band Hero 2 is not even on the horizon yet.

More major title releases will not please fans of the series who have already criticized the company for its seemingly relentless release schedule, most fans would only be in favour of new game releases if they contained major improvements in the game play or features. Releasing a new title every few months if a very expensive way of buying some new songs, some of which you would not own out of choice,  what fans wanted to see is more support for downloadable content, only paying for the songs you will enjoy playing, which is exactly what CEO Dan Rosensweig suggested was the stategry.

While it is good to know the investment in all your plastics instruments was a good long term decision, critics may suggest that the genre is being milked, and gameplay and innovation is now a distant second to quick profits. What are your thoughts?
