Instrument Ratings (74)

Master DJ Hero's instrument ratings and challenges! Discover Gold, Platinum, and Diamond targets for Bass, Guitar, Drums, and Vocals. Get the high scores!

Alright, let's break down how the instruments stack up in DJ Hero and what you need to aim for to get those sweet Gold, Platinum, and Diamond ratings on the challenges. Think of these ratings as a quick cheat sheet to see which instruments might be a bit tougher or easier to master.

Generally, Guitar and Drums are sitting at a solid 5/10, meaning they're pretty balanced. Vocals are right there with them at 5/10. Bass is just a hair behind at 4/10, suggesting it might be slightly more forgiving or perhaps just a little less complex in its core demands. But don't let those numbers fool you – mastering any of these takes practice!
