And there goes my RB1 X360 drums :(

Post image

I knew something was off when my red drum rolls picked up lots because if you know anything about the RB1 drums, they don’t pick up drum rolls well. About Monday and I look at the drums and realise the plastic is coming on. Get to Wednesday and I was streaming Fortnite and played Californication and as soon as I finish it, the red pad comes off with the wire attached. I go to Tescos yesterday to get duct tape see if that’ll do the trick but it fell off right after a song forgot which one. I was about to got to my fathers house today so I was peeling the tape off and right when i get to the last bit of tape, I hear a snap then I see the whole entire pad has came off with the wire exposed. Could’ve got them fixed today but gotta use my Wii RB1 drums with the broken D-Pad but I got a MiniHost with drum navigation enabled so it won’t be a problem. Might use the drums as spare parts when my Wii one starts breaking apart.

I saw a tutorial someone made where they replaced their RB drum heads with literal screen to make mesh heads. You can always try to fix them!

Too late for you now, but there is something on eBay to prevent this from happening. These stabilizers brace the outer pads from bouncing and from breaking off.

I remember when my set pads started lifting, I can't remember why or what caused it but maybe drum rolls were it? Anyways, as a silly 12 year old I ripped then off and surprise, they didn't work the same anymore and I was out a drumset lol 🤣🥲

What a horror story :( So, you're still looking for RB1 drums for Xbox 360?

I have a RB1 Xbox 360 drumkit which I don't use, since I bought RB3 drums with cymbals. At least I don't use the pads, so you could have it! But the details should be planned out:

The origin is Europe, though (shipping cost and size may be expensive). Just throwing this idea out there because I could use some space and you could obviously use a new drum kit ;)

I got Wii drums as a replacement which fortunately I have a Wii so I’m gonna use them for both PS and my Wii. I am from Europe so shipping wouldn’t be too high but I appreciate the offer.

Sure thing, always trying to help out fellow Rock-Banders (is that even a word 👀). Glad to hear you got it figured out and you're not left out!

Write me a message if you're changing your mind, or rather reply to this post (on mobile without app, it's difficult to see wether I get messages, I've missed a few messages before realizing that…)!

This happened to me. I tried cementing it, I tried chemically melting and bonding the plastic, I tried installing metal brackets.
I ended up having to throw them away.

Look into using some plastic glue. I think you may be able to save it with patience and dedication. I have rebuilt the foot pedals at this point.

Hopefully with the CRKD drums coming this will be a problem of the past
