Well it didn't take long for the drums to break

From what I read the pedal usually breaks in 2.  In my case it's the whole sensor area that collapsed..  See pic.

So I ordered the ION drum set from the Source (100$ less than Futureshop) but it's back ordered so it'll take a few weeks to get it.  Can't wait for three weeks with no GH or Rockband..

I felt creative (like ALJO) and looked around the house and basically made an electronic drum kicker out of junk..

Removed the sensor unit from the old pedal and fixed it (re-soldered the wires).

Had a cheap drum set that's not being used so I took the pedal assembly.  Had a practise pad that's not being used, removed the cover, carved the foam and fit the sensor in it.  Attached everything together with some angle iron I had in the garage from my MAME project a few years back, and voila!  Something that feels way more realistic and that works very well too!!

Not worth it for someone that doesn't have the stuff already but in my case it cost me 0$..

Mike
