Rock Band Drum Pedal = POS

[chronovore]

Our company Rock Band drum pedal broke during lunch today. Good grief, I am unreasonably bummed for something that should be THIS EASY to fix... why not just make it NOT CRAP to begin with?

cheap, toy drum set not as durable as the real deal.  news at 11.

I've had mine since launch, hasn't broke. Then again I don't hammer down on it like a gorilla trying to scare away an enemy.

Still, get some butter knives and duct tape. Create a brace for the thing

That's a great idea for how to get through the evening, but how do I fix my drum pedal?

Highly recommend you employ the duct tape + butter knife method.  It can be done on the fly, costs a total of like $3, and lasts for a good long while. It's what I've been using for months now.  It's solid and won't break and actually makes the action on the pedal a little better too.

And FWIW, they did fix this in the RB2 drum set revision.  The stock pedal now comes metal-reinforced.

I hate the drum pedal even when it does work. Thanks for adding a level of complexity above and beyond any of the other instruments!

That's true. I play guitar and my friend drums. He's had significantly less problems moving from Easy to Medium to Hard, as opposed to my klutzy fingers, which are having to re-learn everything on Hard, now that the Orange Button is involved.

This is probably why Konami is not involving the kick pedal until Hard.

I bought a wood pedal replacement online a while back when mine started showing cracks.

This is the pedal that I bought on Ebay
