Make a Rock Band Drum Pedal Pad by led wiz

I wanted to put a kick pedal pad up top to use with the drum stick. So I cut up an old IBM number pad off a keyboard, wired it to a mono 1/8" plug, and now I have a pretty indestructible "extra pad" to use along side the kick pedal.  And I made it with stuff I had laying around!
