I have this problem with my red blue and green drums and my orange cymbal is fucked to, lucky I use mine to play rock band :) I'm gonna cut 3 bits of industrial strength ply and glue them to the plastic sensors under the ruber! hopefully it still detects hits
Me and my friend have been playing gh metallica for a while now and i usually play drums. I play real drums as a hobby and i tend to hit pretty hard. So now the snare have cracked in three different places so we sanded the plastic a little and put some plastic in the bottom and glued it by epoxy. It has worked pretty well. And the wires has come off the sensor about 15 times, too.
you must hit your drum kit as a real one i have 2 and mi drum kit of gh wt is not broken and my other one that comes with the bundle of gh wor havent use it
THESE DRUMS DO SUCK SO BAD! mine broke in 4 different ways, 1 the pedal wire basically dry rotted and then broke and disconnected, then i got a new pedal all together and then it started doing double hits aswell as yours, then my snare also broke in half and i went to glue it back together and the sensor wires came off the sensor so i had to glue those back on and then my stick holders fell into the actual drumset so now when i play i can hear them rattle so now im just gonna buy a whole new set
I like your idea 4 the velcro my lil bro has a nasty edrum so im converting the GH kit Ive seen 1 with round cymbols 2 does any1 know if its The madcats or what?
funny u say that because I have had to fix my Rock Band 2 kit about 7 times now including 2 foot pedals, 3 pad/sensor replacements and 2 rubber pad replacements. the RB kit is a REAK piece of junk. the Waririors of Rock GH set is built VERY WELL!
You have a much luck as I had. I fixed many at least 20 times.
My red pad broke also..I replaced it with a cut out of an clip board.(compressed cardboard kind). and placed the rubber pad on top....Now it takes the bounding!
Lol you have the old drums I get the new ones realeased with warriors of rock and there smaller quieter and they don't break there very responsive the only problem is that the cable from the kick pedal is separating from the pedal itself
I would have to agree with crazedcharlotte, my GH drum set feels more durable and sturdy overall the the rb one. I broke 3 rb pedals the snare and one of the toms on the rb one within like a month or so. My GH one is still going strong, only downside is the shitty wire they use for the gh set that shit cracks off all over your floor.
Oh gee, your faux-musical instruments made out of plastic and shit have broken. What a sad fucking story. Maybe you should pretend to play an emo sad song on Guitar Hero to make up for it. And what's up with those fags that break their shitty fake guitars when they fail at even fake playing guitar?
@Syn94 Considering your profile lists liking such music as "Avenged Sevenfold, Paramore, System of a down, Metallica, Korn, Megadeth, Dethklok, Bullet For My Valentine, Devil Wears Prada, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Mayday Parade," I don't think you're in a position to tell anyone they failed. Idiot.
I had lots of problems with the world tour kit, especially with the cymbals. That kit is basically raped. I got a new kit for Warriors of rock and I just broke the snare about an hour ago. Now I have to figure out how that comes apart so I can do some soldering again. Why do they design these things so they won't last more than a month?
Mine (ps3 version) broke the right cymbal, both sticks, and stick-holders. I got some vic firth's (cuz i need 'em for school anyway) and bought a new cymbal from thumbmonkey.
also, when the time comes to do fills, i find i have to pretty much SMASH the pad (cymbal as well as drum pad) in order to get it to sound like im actually hitting the thing
when i hit it fairly hard, i only get a little *ting* out of the ride/crash, but if i haul out and smash it ill get a semi-decent crash out of it
and finally, when i go into the music studio as well as doing fills, theres a asshole pig of a delay on it and it doesnt sound right at all,
i have the Guitar Hero: World Tour drumset and i bought it to play Guitar Hero: Metallica but sometimes (well.. almost ALL the time) when im playing and i have to do hi-hat rolls (like in Everlong, Mercyful Fate and so on) itll drop notes and ill lose combos. and when i plug in the rockband drum kit i hit those lines perfectly.. is this a wiring problem? is it normal for the drum kit? do i just suck at drums? lol
@crazedcharlotte I'm glad to see you've had a much better experience than I have. I already own two GH World Tour kits and used parts of both to franken-fix and make a sort of decently working one out of them.
My one RB kit for PS2 still stands though, and only had to fix the bass pedal. Let's hope more guys will find the drums more stable like you have.
@kintarooe82 my gh drums are pretty crippled too, my stick broke (but i usually use RB sticks anyway), both stick holder clip things snapped then the left one popped out inside the drum kit, my pedal is really weak, the sensor in the pedal cracked so sometimes it double hits, i got two new pedals 3 days ago, i didn't even get to finish 1 song because the orange cymbal gave up. GH drums are way better in performance but they have the durability of an x-box,jk.
@crazedcharlotte The rock band drumsticks are genuine real drumsticks.. yano the ones that a drummer would use? it broke because you're clearly hitting too hard and you suck.
@ransco1000 I suppose. But Im not talking "real" drumsticks Im talking hitting a damn drumset made of plastic. And if Rock Band's drum sticks are more realistic and broke on me, they are shit. I wasn't even hitting hard lol Plus how come my GH ones have yet to break nor the drum kid or anything from GH. Plus Im sure Im not the only one who had a shit kick pedal and drum kit.
@qAyyUm Right now if you're serious about playing the games just go for Rock Band and play that almost exclusively. Guitar Hero is losing a lot of taste right now and going extremely cheesy with its gameplay and song selection while Rock Band always stays classy and with a ton of downloadable songs.
You won't regret going for Rock Band. Only if you want to play them both will you need the 5 pad drum of Guitar Hero. But Rock Band now has the 3 cymbal expansion so why not get that. Get Rock Band.
Okay so the kick pedal was wired up to the drum kit, i lifted up the drumkit like a dumbass, the the wires just came out of the pedal. I took the thing apart and looks like the 2 wires that came outta the pedal were glued to parts of a coin like thing.
@Expl0dingSeal Yep, pretty simple really. The "coin" detects vibrations and should be connected to the wires. It has two circles (inside circle and outside) you solder/attach each wire to a circle. Try to guess which wire goes to which circle but sometimes it doesn't matter. (Reverse wires if it didn't work.) Should get you back up and drumming.
So far my GHWT stuff: my drum kit dosent register the pedals in it anymore, my Guitar stoped registered strums and ,my microphone had the part u sing into came off and Can be put back on and dosent feel as sturdy
all my drums work okay but sometimes when i hit the orange cymbal hard it triggers the yellow one at the same time which is really annoying because it randomly ends my combo and/or starts star power when i dont want it to. it has to be in the wiring but i have no clue what to do or how to fix it...
@bowser898 That means you're getting crosstalk between your cymbals. (Hitting one means hitting both.) You should first try loosening (or sometimes tightening) the screws (bolts? nuts? rubber tighteners) on top of the cymbal so that hitting it won't send too much vibrations through the body of the drum kit and onto the other cymbal. If this works, then you're golden. You just fixed your drums without even opening it. :P
i actually fixed my GH drums perfectly...and yeah it took me like about 50 fixes..and i am planning on buying a new drum pedal cuzz the old one, the spring isn't pushing back anymore...as for the red/snare that thing is a BITCH...it's the one thing that keeps braking...try sodering it and then put a type of foam or sponge underneath the rubber...that worked perfectly...for me...but the last time i played i heard a crack and i cracked my snare/red in 2 just like you....
i think u should no ita a ummm plastic drum kit lolz not a reall one :) so try hitting a little lighter and u wont hove thos problems.lolz enjoy the tip :P
guitar hero 1= nice, guitar hero 2 = wow :D!, guitar hero 3= awesome!!, guitar hero aerosmith= nice!!, guitar hero world tour= what a shit . and the other guitar heroes put pop electro and some shitty music i want rock and metal again like GH3!!!
@exposefraud Metallica. Probably the biggest metal band to have ever set foot on stage. Just look up Ride The Lightning or Master of Puppets (two of their best albums) and you'll see what I mean.
yea, i hate how everybody completely bashes the rock band kits cuz they break when guitar hero's stuff is way worse, anyway 5/5, you might wrap the crack in electrical tape since its like a straight break...i dono, just an idea, nice vid tho
Buying a new drumkit or using the warranty are dumb things to do since EVERY SINGLE DRUMKIT out there has the same crappy wiring. The result will be you spending more time waiting for a new drumkit than actually playing, and in the end you'll be back to square 1, no matter what you do. I'd rather fix it myself like this guy.
I'm having troubles taking out the black rubber spikes on the back of the set so I can put the velcro (since putting the colored pads back on is IMPOSSIBLE), any help?
i found out today i had the same problem and it cause the sensor to fall off and pick up every hit on andy tom or cymbol which messed me up but i have to figure out how to fix it
had the same drum head problem, though mine was cracked in six places XD. What i did though, was cut a circle of plastic from a cat-litter container roughly the same size as the original head, and glued it over. Seems to have worked quite well. acts as nice, stable support
good job. I am having an issue with my yellow cymbal. I cant tell if its the yellow cymbal and/or the nyko metal pedal(my GH pedal broke). Now, I miss A LOT of pedal/yellow cymbal notes. Is it the cymbal or the pedal or both? thx
Hey i have 2 different gh sets and they are both broken, so i used one for parts. I had to swap the pads on one and it worked great but my cousin snapped the wire that connects the cymbal. We took it apart and replaced the wire with one from the other set and it did for for about half a test song, but then it just stopped working. I wasnt hitting it hard or anything, it just stopped working. What could I do to fix?
Have also drilled a hole through the legs and put a bit of metal through to stop it collapsing.
The orange cymbal was so floppy across the top that it wobbles if you so much as look at it. I ended up gluing some wood to the back then screwing it to the mounting bracket.
Oh your snare. Then its definitely a wiring or sensor detached problem.
Watch this video again and you'll see I can detach my red pad and show you that I resoldered the wires. If the pad has snapped like mine, hot-glue it back on and find a small metal stick/plate and hot-glue it across the pad to make it last longer.
Is your problem a cymbal (yellow or orange) because the rubber cracks and will deteriorate your game playing pretty hugely.
If its not the rubber cracks, then you should check your sensor if the wires have gotten detached. From what you're saying, it seems to have been working before so you don't have to do anything else to fix the sensitivity once you get the sensor back to normal.
How is it broken? Check the wires that connect to the sensor, and check the rubber pad if its developed any cracks.
If the wires are detached, you need to resolder, if its cracked, you can try hot-glueing them together (not permanent and not always a decent fix). If its all in one piece you just need to adjust the sensitivity like stuff a springy cardboard behind the sensor to make it more responsive.
What do you mean by 10 hits in a row? Is it sensitive or insensitive? Do you get 10 hits and the 11th doesn't register or does the 10th one double hit?
The cymbal rubber does crack and is pretty hard to repair, but I'd like to know what the problem is first.
What I did after my snare snapped was to hot glue / glue gun the two halves together. Then I took two metal strips (came off my desktop case from the expansion slots) and hot glued them on the plastic pad to reinforce it. That should also fix your problem when it activates from the blue pad. (Unless your sensor is very sensitive, if so you'll need to decrease the sensitivity through the usual ways.)
thank you, i did something almost like that, i gorilla glued the 3 pieces together, and im going to try to find some metal strips i can use because that sounds like a good idea, hot glue over the solder also sounds like a good idea, but im going to see how good my fix ends up being here
Once the wires get detached I always re-solder it but it will eventually break if it detaches and you resolder it a lot. Once I resolder I usually top it off with hot glue / glue gun to keep it safe.
You just gotta poke the small rubber through and pull with your fingers. The pad cover has this and also the whole pad is connected to the base through rubber "pins". I took out the pins that connect to the base and replaced it with velcro so I don't have to fumble with the rubber anymore.
That's crosstalk between pads. The yellow is probably over-sensitive or has a loose wire. First thing I would try is loosening the yellow rubber top screw of of the pad to see if its too tight.
If that's not the issue then you have an oversensitive pad. Open the bottom of the pad with little screwdrivers and see if the wires are loose. If not, then you'll need to slightly detach the sensor from the pad to decrease sensitivity. I wouldn't suggest that unless its your last resort though.
my yellow cymbal broke. How do i fix this? Yea. I have guitar hero drum kit for a couple months and this is what happens. My friend has rockband for the ps2 two years and its in perfect condition and its more fun to play.
What're the problems you're getting from the yellow cymbal? Does it not register hits? If so, then a wire must have detached. If it double hits, it could be a loose wire or too sensitive. If its too insensitive, it might be loose wiring or you just need to increase sensitivity.
If its detached, solder it back. If its loose, make sure its back in place (solder). Hot glue it to make sure it stays that way.
If its sensitive, you can try loosening the nut on top of your cymbal to decrease.
If its insensitive and all wires are fine, you can either add a springy folded cardboard on top of your sensor to make it more sensitive, or you can add tape onto the sensor leading into the rubber parts of the drum (about an inch or so) to increase vibration sensitivity.
also had that red drum snap in half inside :/ I took the sensor off it and used uperglue to put the the drum plate back together, then to reinforce it i cut the edges off a tuppaware tub (roughly same size) then glued that onto it then finaly glue the sensor onto the tuppaware lid and leave it for like half a day then give it a go. no probs with mine since (been about 3 months so far)
It would depend. Normally taping it will make it more sensitive, but my yellow cymbal has developed cracks too and its been really horrible because the hit response is different between the 2 sides of the crack right now. Not like the snare, which I put hot glue and metal backing on to connect the two halves. That's been working great.
My cymbals are the worst right now. I couldn't for the life of me, get the sensitivity and fixes just right. Its either very very sensitive or dead. Sucks. =/
You should try some hot glue (glue gun) on the cracks, tape isn't much help for transmitting vibrations unless its on the sensor, though if the pad is already pretty sensitive you should watch it because it might make it worse.
My orange cymbal's wires became detached from hard hitting, so I bought a brand new one on Ebay from a company and it didn't even work correctly, so they sent us another one for free, and THAT one didn't work properly either, so we got another one for free, and this one broke in a DAY. We taped the plug-in wire on the bottom part of the cymbal to the position where it worked, and now it works. Ugh this kit is such crap. It retails for $100?? What a load of crap. Practically stealing our money.
My snare's sensor is not working, when I hit it some times it won't register. Other times it will randomly say that I hit it (When I didn't). Do you know how to fix it with out spending more thant $25?
I'm 100% sure your problem is that the wire has come off the sensor on the pad like mine. Watch the video and look at the sensor on my snare. I soldered that a lot, that's why I put velcro on it when it needs fixed.
So if you know how to use a soldering iron, and maybe a glue-gun, just take out your snare (by opening the unit, or other means) then re-soldering the wire onto the sensor - then to make sure it sticks, drop a bunch of glue-gun plastic onto it.
my stand broke after 1 hour. bad thing is its only a 1 hour old ive yet to play. i went to wideing the legs ( if you get me ) and it wouldent move so i ended up ripping one of the legs off nw its fucked !
Hmm was your problem the one where the kit would slide lower as you hit the pads? Because one fix is to drill holes onto the tubes so that you can stick a metal screw onto the tube preventing it from sliding lower.
what you should do to you're snare drum is, detach your sensor from the split plastic, slide in a little square piece of wood in between the sponge and the plastic and glue the sensor to the wood. this would keep you from having it to fix so much and if its possible find another sensor cause they get messed up from having to weld the wires to it so much
But how much have you been playing on it? Cause I play a lot... like maybe 2-4 hours a day, 4-6 days a week.
I've played a lot more on my Rock Band 1 drums and the only thing that broke was the kick pedal. The fix was easy and I didn't get any sensitivity issues.
the velcro thing is an awesome idea. it saves a hell of a lot of time than taking out all those screws out of the back. my pedal is the problem though because it just breaks and breaks and breaks, i may make one
I dunno dude, somehow, even if I had the opportunity to go through the warranty process (I live in the Philippines so it would actually be cheaper to buy a new one), I have this feeling that I'd probably just end up with the same problems.
The wires connecting to pads (and the snare drum) looks very brittle so I wouldn't wonder that all the pads, under constant use, will get detached wires and cracked pads.
Not in the Philippines though dude. They'll probably tie the thing down for months until you may get a replacement.
Though, it would "break" under gameplay, so it wasn't broken upon buying it per se. Either way, new or old, you'll need to fix your drum kit eventually.
I have this problem with my red blue and green drums and my orange cymbal is fucked to, lucky I use mine to play rock band :) I'm gonna cut 3 bits of industrial strength ply and glue them to the plastic sensors under the ruber! hopefully it still detects hits

Ive had it since GH World Tour and still going strong, everything.
I stopped playing RockBand,because the drum set only lasted me months.
I take care of my stuff, but the drums for RockBand suck to me at least.
First the Drum Stick broke one of them while I was playing, than came the red
symbol then blue and finally yellow, and you can guess what came next, yes the
foot pedal.
GH is much better instrument wise to me ast least.

Any way i could fix this?
Expl0dingSeal 1 year ago
@Expl0dingSeal Yep, pretty simple really. The "coin" detects vibrations and should be connected to the wires. It has two circles (inside circle and outside) you solder/attach each wire to a circle. Try to guess which wire goes to which circle but sometimes it doesn't matter. (Reverse wires if it didn't work.) Should get you back up and drumming.

I have a problem that when I hit the yellow cymbal, it hit the red pad at the same time, do you know how to fix it?
Juuso1996 1 year ago
all my drums work okay but sometimes when i hit the orange cymbal hard it triggers the yellow one at the same time which is really annoying because it randomly ends my combo and/or starts star power when i dont want it to. it has to be in the wiring but i have no clue what to do or how to fix it...
bowser898 1 year ago
@bowser898 That means you're getting crosstalk between your cymbals. (Hitting one means hitting both.) You should first try loosening (or sometimes tightening) the screws (bolts? nuts? rubber tighteners) on top of the cymbal so that hitting it won't send too much vibrations through the body of the drum kit and onto the other cymbal. If this works, then you're golden. You just fixed your drums without even opening it. :P
kintarooe82 1 year ago
i actually fixed my GH drums perfectly...and yeah it took me like about 50 fixes..and i am planning on buying a new drum pedal cuzz the old one, the spring isn't pushing back anymore...as for the red/snare that thing is a BITCH...it's the one thing that keeps braking...try sodering it and then put a type of foam or sponge underneath the rubber...that worked perfectly...for me...but the last time i played i heard a crack and i cracked my snare/red in 2 just like you....

GuitarFreak369 1 year ago
Buying a new drumkit or using the warranty are dumb things to do since EVERY SINGLE DRUMKIT out there has the same crappy wiring. The result will be you spending more time waiting for a new drumkit than actually playing, and in the end you'll be back to square 1, no matter what you do. I'd rather fix it myself like this guy.
I'm having troubles taking out the black rubber spikes on the back of the set so I can put the velcro (since putting the colored pads back on is IMPOSSIBLE), any help?

MrExley 2 years ago
Hey i have 2 different gh sets and they are both broken, so i used one for parts. I had to swap the pads on one and it worked great but my cousin snapped the wire that connects the cymbal. We took it apart and replaced the wire with one from the other set and it did for for about half a test song, but then it just stopped working. I wasnt hitting it hard or anything, it just stopped working. What could I do to fix?
satanfx55 2 years ago
The drum kits have on design flaw they are S**T
Have soldered both cymbals more than once.
Have also soldered the red pad.
Have also drilled a hole through the legs and put a bit of metal through to stop it collapsing.
The orange cymbal was so floppy across the top that it wobbles if you so much as look at it. I ended up gluing some wood to the back then screwing it to the mounting bracket.

einarknutsen 2 years ago
Oh your snare. Then its definitely a wiring or sensor detached problem.
Watch this video again and you'll see I can detach my red pad and show you that I resoldered the wires. If the pad has snapped like mine, hot-glue it back on and find a small metal stick/plate and hot-glue it across the pad to make it last longer.

@kintarooe82 my kick pedal was oversensitive so i put a TON of duck tape over the sensor and now it works again :D
trevboy98 1 year ago
@famouse6
Is your problem a cymbal (yellow or orange) because the rubber cracks and will deteriorate your game playing pretty hugely.
If its not the rubber cracks, then you should check your sensor if the wires have gotten detached. From what you're saying, it seems to have been working before so you don't have to do anything else to fix the sensitivity once you get the sensor back to normal.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
what do u do if your orange cymble is broken? i used my drums on rock band now it broke shit why did i do that
inmyfantasy2 2 years ago
@inmyfantasy2
How is it broken? Check the wires that connect to the sensor, and check the rubber pad if its developed any cracks.
If the wires are detached, you need to resolder, if its cracked, you can try hot-glueing them together (not permanent and not always a decent fix). If its all in one piece you just need to adjust the sensitivity like stuff a springy cardboard behind the sensor to make it more responsive.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
What do you mean by 10 hits in a row? Is it sensitive or insensitive? Do you get 10 hits and the 11th doesn't register or does the 10th one double hit?
The cymbal rubber does crack and is pretty hard to repair, but I'd like to know what the problem is first.

Trogdor5678 2 years ago
What I did after my snare snapped was to hot glue / glue gun the two halves together. Then I took two metal strips (came off my desktop case from the expansion slots) and hot glued them on the plastic pad to reinforce it. That should also fix your problem when it activates from the blue pad. (Unless your sensor is very sensitive, if so you'll need to decrease the sensitivity through the usual ways.)
kintarooe82 2 years ago
thank you, i did something almost like that, i gorilla glued the 3 pieces together, and im going to try to find some metal strips i can use because that sounds like a good idea, hot glue over the solder also sounds like a good idea, but im going to see how good my fix ends up being here

Once the wires get detached I always re-solder it but it will eventually break if it detaches and you resolder it a lot. Once I resolder I usually top it off with hot glue / glue gun to keep it safe.

how do u put the pads back through the tiny holes again. its hell to put it back on ?
gold3nbullet26 2 years ago
You just gotta poke the small rubber through and pull with your fingers. The pad cover has this and also the whole pad is connected to the base through rubber "pins". I took out the pins that connect to the base and replaced it with velcro so I don't have to fumble with the rubber anymore.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
That's crosstalk between pads. The yellow is probably over-sensitive or has a loose wire. First thing I would try is loosening the yellow rubber top screw of of the pad to see if its too tight.
If that's not the issue then you have an oversensitive pad. Open the bottom of the pad with little screwdrivers and see if the wires are loose. If not, then you'll need to slightly detach the sensor from the pad to decrease sensitivity. I wouldn't suggest that unless its your last resort though.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
my yellow cymbal broke. How do i fix this? Yea. I have guitar hero drum kit for a couple months and this is what happens. My friend has rockband for the ps2 two years and its in perfect condition and its more fun to play.
aspedbusdriver 2 years ago
What're the problems you're getting from the yellow cymbal? Does it not register hits? If so, then a wire must have detached. If it double hits, it could be a loose wire or too sensitive. If its too insensitive, it might be loose wiring or you just need to increase sensitivity.
If its detached, solder it back. If its loose, make sure its back in place (solder). Hot glue it to make sure it stays that way.
If its sensitive, you can try loosening the nut on top of your cymbal to decrease.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
If its insensitive and all wires are fine, you can either add a springy folded cardboard on top of your sensor to make it more sensitive, or you can add tape onto the sensor leading into the rubber parts of the drum (about an inch or so) to increase vibration sensitivity.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
also had that red drum snap in half inside :/ I took the sensor off it and used uperglue to put the the drum plate back together, then to reinforce it i cut the edges off a tuppaware tub (roughly same size) then glued that onto it then finaly glue the sensor onto the tuppaware lid and leave it for like half a day then give it a go. no probs with mine since (been about 3 months so far)

Thanks champ ill have a look at my red one now, cos last night it started to fuck up chronically.
And My yellow one has 5 cracks all the way through it. SO i moved it to the orange side. :)
You reckon taping the shit out of the pad would help keep it together?
Thanks mate,
jordangreen93 2 years ago
It would depend. Normally taping it will make it more sensitive, but my yellow cymbal has developed cracks too and its been really horrible because the hit response is different between the 2 sides of the crack right now. Not like the snare, which I put hot glue and metal backing on to connect the two halves. That's been working great.
My cymbals are the worst right now. I couldn't for the life of me, get the sensitivity and fixes just right. Its either very very sensitive or dead. Sucks. =/
kintarooe82 2 years ago
You should try some hot glue (glue gun) on the cracks, tape isn't much help for transmitting vibrations unless its on the sensor, though if the pad is already pretty sensitive you should watch it because it might make it worse.

My orange cymbal's wires became detached from hard hitting, so I bought a brand new one on Ebay from a company and it didn't even work correctly, so they sent us another one for free, and THAT one didn't work properly either, so we got another one for free, and this one broke in a DAY. We taped the plug-in wire on the bottom part of the cymbal to the position where it worked, and now it works. Ugh this kit is such crap. It retails for $100?? What a load of crap. Practically stealing our money.

xTiediguy 2 years ago
I'm 100% sure your problem is that the wire has come off the sensor on the pad like mine. Watch the video and look at the sensor on my snare. I soldered that a lot, that's why I put velcro on it when it needs fixed.
So if you know how to use a soldering iron, and maybe a glue-gun, just take out your snare (by opening the unit, or other means) then re-soldering the wire onto the sensor - then to make sure it sticks, drop a bunch of glue-gun plastic onto it.

Hmm was your problem the one where the kit would slide lower as you hit the pads? Because one fix is to drill holes onto the tubes so that you can stick a metal screw onto the tube preventing it from sliding lower.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
what you should do to you're snare drum is, detach your sensor from the split plastic, slide in a little square piece of wood in between the sponge and the plastic and glue the sensor to the wood. this would keep you from having it to fix so much and if its possible find another sensor cause they get messed up from having to weld the wires to it so much

TheMadArab305 2 years ago
I dunno dude, somehow, even if I had the opportunity to go through the warranty process (I live in the Philippines so it would actually be cheaper to buy a new one), I have this feeling that I'd probably just end up with the same problems.
The wires connecting to pads (and the snare drum) looks very brittle so I wouldn't wonder that all the pads, under constant use, will get detached wires and cracked pads.
kintarooe82 2 years ago
doesn't the store just give you a new one? it wont be hard to prove the one that you got broke
TheMadArab305 2 years ago
Not in the Philippines though dude. They'll probably tie the thing down for months until you may get a replacement.
Though, it would "break" under gameplay, so it wasn't broken upon buying it per se. Either way, new or old, you'll need to fix your drum kit eventually.
