Unfortunately not. All of the instruments in Guitar Hero are created to work only on the specific console they were made for. So if you have the Guitar Hero Wii drums, you can only use them on the Wii, you can’t even use them on the XBox 360 or PS3 (you would need to buy the specific Guitar Hero instruments for the XBox 360 or PS3).
There is no PC version of the Guitar Hero games so they won’t work on a computer.
The closest you can come to using the Guitar Hero drums as an electronic drum kit is by recording your own music in the Guitar Hero World Tour recording studio feature in the game.
As an FYI, the Guitar Hero drums will work with the Rock Band and Rock Band 2 games.
I know you can plug Rock Band instruments, even the Wii versions, into a PC, and usually the PC will recognize it as what it is, A Wii Rockband instrument. I use my Wii Rock Band drums to play Frets on Fire, a free Rock Band/Guitar Hero clone for PCs.
It should be possible. You may need some software to get working as a “real” drum kit, but it should be possible. Or, rather, there’s no reason it shouldn’t work, but it might take some effort.
No because it is meant for Nintendo/Wii hardware it will screw up your computer or maybe even crash it so you will be upset if you do so don’t or you will have to buy a new computer
no
