    2021 and this trick still works. Had a pair of wireless drums where the green pad wasn't registering and FINALLY got around to fixing it and the coins help the sensor pick it up again. Thanks hope you are still rocking your rock band kits too!

    2023 and this trick STILL WORKS. Had a problem with the yellow pad and it only took a nickel to fix! I also didn't realize that the different color drum pads had different internal set-ups - and the video showed that as well. THANKS so much for the McGyver workaround fix!

    Couple of possibilities:
    Double-check how well the coins on the Yellow and Blue pads are seated. It's possible that the double/triple hits are occuring because the coins are rattling. If they seem a little loose, re-seat them with a more taut strip of tape.
    -OR-
    It could be that your yellow and blue pads are still fairly fresh, and therefore sensitive enough already. If you're not getting the responsiveness you'd like out of them, though, try pennies or dimes instead.

    You are a god! Our yellow drum stopped working after just 4 weeks of use but was outside the 60 day warranty. it was an X-mas gift. I spent hours on the phone with the people at Harmonix who said too bad so sad it can't be repaired. Taking the pads off was a little more difficult than you showed but once I figured it out it went bette. I did have to push back the little plugs in but then with the nickels the drums were repaired!

    I'm stunned that this worked for me. At first I tried the penny mod where the penny was directly on the sensor under the cage and then I tried tiny pieces of cardboard and both of them made zero difference. But I didn't see how this nickel mod would work since the nickels didn't make contact with the sensor. I guess it makes the hits more rigid because the nickels are blocking the foam padding causing a sharper jolt resulting in the sensor going off. Thank you benchwarmer969. Great camera work.

    just got rock bank for my kids birthday party (9 & 7 year old girls). My wife was giving me crap before the party, that their friends wouldn't like it. It was the hit of the party and I was THRILLED that I didn't have to listen to hannah montana. I LOVE the fact it turns the kids on to actual rock and not the disney cookie cutter, bubble gum, "make me want to blow my brains out" drone; that they are normally listening too. Good video, I'll be sure to use ur mod and post it.

  • @hescobal
    @hescobal 16 лет назад +1

    good mod! Like someone else mentioned, it does make them a little louder. So, I used a combination of nickels and some soft foam tape.
    Now its more sensitive and reduces some of the sound that the nickel added

  • @MannPower
    @MannPower 16 лет назад +1

    Instead of coins, I'm actually using metal Pog slammers (lol) - they're the perfect size for the green and red pads, and the fact that they're larger in diameter than nickels means they disperse force better, and don't jiggle. On the yellow and blue, I use quarters (because Pog slammers won't fit). They're thinner than nickels, and wider to disperse impact. If you're a hard drummer, the metal can begin to dent the plastic sensor contact on the drum heads. Looking for a good soft material to fix.

    • @Hazehill
      @Hazehill 10 лет назад +4

      By the way, this did work for one pad but on another it was less effective. I tried more coins but it drastically changed the sound the pad made when hit and I found it too distracting and went back to one coin.

    I took a look at my drum kit and it has "QM" as the last 2 digits of it's model number. It's underneath the D-pad portion of the drum kit so can I assume it's the SL model?

  • @MannPower
    @MannPower 16 лет назад

    It's the hardness of the coins. Use softer materials, or cut and glue a thin layer of cotton cloth to the surface of the coin that makes contact with the sensor assembly.
    If you have some kind of drum silencer pads, they help to reduce the force being put on the sensors (which causes them to wear down).

  • @jmarks2001
    @jmarks2001 16 лет назад

    It's not a clapping or rattling sound like you'd expect if the coins weren't fastened down. It's more of an internal knocking sound. I hit the drum once, and I get one loud knock that's ALOT louder than an un-modded drum.

  • @porkstamina
    @porkstamina 17 лет назад

    Just did this mod, and used electrical tape instead of duct tape. I think duct tape may actually be better, because of the stronger adhesive. The electrical tape got loose overnight and I could hear the coins rattling. Using more tape helps, or putting a small piece of foam between the two nickels.

    I did this last night, and it definitely improved my yellow drum, but I'm having a problem with the red one.
    I tried it with one and two nickels, and each time it caused the drum to make an extra loud knocking sound when I hit it with the stick. Not only that, it seems to have decreased the sensitivity causing more missed notes. I've since removed the nickels from the red on. Any ideas?

  • @TheHYPO
    @TheHYPO 5 лет назад +1

    BEWARE when trying something like this. I checked this video for reference on how to open up my drums for a repair rather than a mod (I have this same EL version, but the Beatles version, though it seems built the same).
    In trying to remove a pad, ultimately, the plastic mounting pieces that are screwed to the backside of the drum pad that the rubber pointy gaskets go through broke - the plastic broke. Maybe it would have been stronger years ago, but bottom line is that even after the gaskets were exposed, I could NOT get the pointy rubber gaskets out of the drumset - not even with pliers. So if you remove the head, and the gaskets don't come out, it's going to be very hard or impossible to get the head back on Be careful

    @MannPower 16 лет назад

    The clacking of the coins was driving me insane. So, I devised a solution to silent the them:
    I use only 2 nickels - one on the underside of the red and green drum heads. To replace the other 4 nickels, I used ordinary beverage coasters - you know, the cheapo ones made out of that hard, papery/cardboard material? I cut them into circles and taped them in. They're as thick as nickels, and are fairly hard - yet soft enough to muffle any clacking.

    or you could just put a sock around your drum pads its way less complicated than this but this is cool too and probably more reliable but i just use one sock on my red drum pad. I just take a regular tube sock which are the long kind and you just wrap it aroundand tape it with electrical tape or duct tape on the bottom of the drum pads. and you can use a rubber band to hold it into place a little better. and it actually works. but i really like this video but the thing is i dont have the modeL#.
