My Rock is too Powerful for a Puny Controller
Your moms new boyfriend \| 2:30 AM on 01.04.2008	2 comments

Well, it happened. I really should have seen it coming. I was aware of it from day one, but did nothing about it. Now it bit me in the ass.

I broke my Rock Band drum pedal.

From the first minute I pressed on it with my bare foot, I could tell that eventually it would snap in half. I did nothing to prevent this from happening, despite knowing how to fix it (Gorilla Glue a couple of shims to it). Finally, during an exhausting Green Grass and High Tides, I noticed something was wrong. Still, I played. At the end of the song, I was presented with broken gear.

I'm not mad, because I know I play rough. It happened. You live, you learn. I guess the moral of the story is, if there's a problem, take care of it right away. Fortify those pedals, people!

how the hell does one fortify it then to.. prevent this from happening?

Apparently, there's a company that manufactures metal braces for the pedals. Otherwise, glue or duct tape a strip or two of wood or metal on it, so long as the grain is going lengthwise.
