  • This should work for both cymbals and main pads, also i just used plain scotch tape. Please comment and rate if this method worked for you, and if you liked it a lot maybe subscribe.

    This really helped my retro gaming nights... Thank you. I already used the popsicle trick and was going to do something similar to this. Your video showed me I was right and gave me confidence to pull the black wire... Thank you again.. 14 years later :)

    Thank you so much! My red drum pad is working again thanks to the help of your video, it was so helpful. All I had to do was buy the screwdriver it needed to open it that was only $11.00. It saved me a lot of money that i would have had to spend to get a new red drum pad.

    This method still works flawlessly in 2022. You helped me resurrect my xbox360 GHWT drums which I thought were broken for good for more than 10 years. Opened them up, soldered the two cables of the RED drum like you showed in the video, and they work like new. Thank you for letting me dive into the GH nostalgia with my friends again!

    @ClockWorkChutney 12 лет назад +1

    Anyone still got bad registry from hitting any of the pads?
    This vid made it slightly better but one thing that worked really well is get yourself some corrogated cardboard, cut it thin (So it just fits over the sensor) and about 10 cm long. Now fold it z-shaped about 4 or 5 times, put it onto the sensor and tape it so it is quite loose but still holds in place.
    This worked amazingly well for me!!

  • @Tbaribone1115
    @Tbaribone1115 11 лет назад +1

    Have you tried cutting JUST the outer part (rubber part) of the wire? Cuz you'll probably need the medal part to be touching the sensor. I'd use scissors but be sure your careful not to cut the inner part (medal part) of the wire. That's what I'd do at least. :)

    does this work for foot pedals as well? i hve the wii version and the wires have been lost so i bought a new wire. however the new one has like a telephone jack on it and i'm wondering if i should remove that box on the wire and tape it like you did. also would electrical tape be better? thanks :3 happy drummings

    • @wieben7
      @wieben7  8 лет назад

      I actually never had to take the foot pedal apart for any reason, so I couldn't tell you for sure. Wouldn't surprise if it worked the same way though. And yah electrical tape probably would work better. I made this when I was 16 and had no clue at all about proper materials haha.

    • @feritfox2318
      @feritfox2318 8 лет назад

      +wieben7 ah ok. thanks for the fast reply. the pads are the same looking now that i took it apart. Final question if you can. Do i need one wire on the brass circular thing in the center and one on the outside of the brass circle?

    • @wieben7
      @wieben7  8 лет назад

      +FeritFox yes, I believe the coloured wire goes on the outside and the black one goes on the middle. At least my kit 6 years ago worked liked that haha

    I did that first to but if the tapes to lose that its shity. so I just ripped all of them inclusive the cymbals and soldered them on again and isolated them to. My drums work now perfectly. I just have to change the jacks of the cables that the cymbals have and I may finaly get the score I desirve :D
