Make a Rock Band Drum Pedal Pad

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!

Step 1 Materials... Cut off the number pad from a keyboard.

You will need an unwanted old wired computer keyboard... a nice durable older one.
An 1/8" Mono audio wire. $4  www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp 
A mono or stereo "Y" headphone jack splitter. $4 www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp
Soldering gun/Solder.
Hot glue gun.
Wire clothes hanger.
Rubberbands.
 
Cut the number pad off with a jigsaw or a dremmel.
