Broken Bass Pedal (RB2)

[Nobleton]

Hi,

Just today I snapped the bass pedal for my Rock Band 2 drums. Unlike most broken pedals mine snapped in the middle of the base, around the spring recess.

I am outside of the warranty period, and there seems to be no replacement pedals for sale by Harmonix.

Are my drums useless now? I am stumped as to what the solution is.

PS: I have tried using Gorilla glue to hold it together but the tension from the spring and the very small amount of plastic to glue together makes a home fix impossible.

how did it break in the center since its metal plated i have broken it at the base several times but never in the center

You can purchase pedals from two local retailers (that I know of):

GameStop sells the stock RB2 pedals with a fully-functional double bass splitter (for $25 if my recollection is correct). This pedal is not yet available online and is not available at all locations as of now GameStop also sells a few other replacements.

Best Buy sells two pedals made by BlockHead. One is similar to the stock pedals (mostly of plastic construction). The other is more like an authentic bass pedal. These pedals run $20 and $30, respectively.

I'm not familiar with all the aftermarket drum pedals but there are a number of them, you can check EBay or any of the Consumer Electronic outlets. Try doing a search here for 'drum pedal', you'll get lot's of options.

EDIT: ninja'd

I will post a picture of the break tomorrow, but I should mention I am in Canada and have had no luck tracking down aftermarket bass pedals.

@SuperRocker47: It wasn't the pedal that broke, but the plastic base underneath the pedal.

I hear you on the product search in Canadian stores, I've seen the same thing. If you can find one on EBay, shouldn't be an issue, most U.S. vendors will be able to ship to you.

I've done it with lot's of stuff and for the price range we're talking the extra fees (taxes duty etc) will be negligible.

Rockpedal or destroyer pedal. Both are based on a real kick pedal and have superb feel and action.
