Repair a Rockband Drum Pedal with Household Items

Step 6 Reinforce the heel. REALLY WELL.

Next _{put the heel of the pedal into the hinge where it belongs, and attach the bottom of the CDs to the heel plate of the pedal.}

Remember, more tape is more better. Get that thing on tight. Electrical tape is flexible, is this to your advantage by pulling it tight around the unit.

And now you're done! This whole thing takes about 15 minutes, so you can be back to your party in no time. It's also easy enough to do while hammered, though you may want a designated driver to handle the scissors.

Though the hinge fix is mickey moused, mine lasted for weeks of heavy use.
Until the magnetic switch itself broke.

I don't have a fix for that, so I'll finally have to send the stupid thing back to EA.

Thank you SO much... I had a pedal with a reinforced plate but the hinge broke several months ago and the CD tip fixed it. :D

that is a really well done tut....except i repaired the peddle itself using a 3mm thick piece of plywood cut to shape of the pedal and used pitbull grip super glue to meld it together overnight. probably won't come in handy if you need a quick fix like yours. the hinge part i haven't had to fix yet as my son uses the front part of his foot to come down on the middle to top part of the peddle. i believe it comes down to 'finesse' and looking cool while playing over smash and bash.. well done on your tutorial. kudo's
