DIY Rock Band drum kit

I got me a present for my birthday - Mad Catz Portable Drum Kit. It's an official 3rd party controler which I'm sure fans of the game have heard of. Ever since I got it I was looking for ideas for a stand, because drumming while the pads are laying flat down doesn't feel very comfortable. I was searching the web for some ideas and I got it from a fellow YouTuber - skateboardsuperstaar. I finished the stand in about 3 hours over a period of 2 days. I then attached the drum pads to the stand by duct taping a metal L-shaped thingy to a pad and then screwing a screw in the stand. The control panel is secured by plastic clams. I also added some cork padding on the bass drum pedal so it doesn't slide around.

I don't drum for real, but I'd like to someday. This is my first form of drumming ever.

My drum kit is made of:
1 Mad Catz Portable Drum Kit
some old wood
some duct tape
4 L-shaped metal brackets

My gamertag is mjemec.

Heh, I just used your idea and made a stand like this for my portable rock band drum kit, thanks a lot. For the comments about just buying the actual drum kit? These are more responsive and only cost £7 while the actual original ones cost around £40 - £50

Do they work on guitar hero, since there's no plates ?

[mtube1990]

@no0neX Yes, they work with GH.

@no0neX Plates? -_-

[Syn94]

If I buy a splitter, would this support double bass?

[Syn94]

@Shredin0id689 Sure, if you wanna spend 80+ bucks on a plastic drum controller. :/

[Syn94]

@twistedchuy The drums themselves costs 15 bucks on amazon :)

[Act1v1st]

[twistedchuy]
