My drum kit is broken!

I think ripping it open and fiddling around inside it might have voided your warranty though.
dennis:
You can buy soldering equipment at a Radioshack (or whatever the equivalent is in your country...since you have had Rock Band long enough to break it, I assume you're in the US). A basic soldering iron will cost $7-15 and a couple of feet of rosin-core solder is cheap, like $1. If you ain't soldered before, the trick it to heat up both parts before soldering. Soldering to cold metal will give you a brittle joint and it'll just break off again. Of course, be careful you don't melt anything else in there. It's usually sufficient to apply the side of the tip of the iron for a few seconds before joining.
Oh, and tin the tip of the iron (get it hot and then melt a little solder over it).
Practice on something else (a broken device or something) before trying it on your drum kit.
And be sure to ventilate.

I was not questioning or testing your integrity, I was saying you could either take it back to the shop under warranty or switch it and send back the borked one saying it was returned by a customer, which you are. A customer.
No lies, no foul play, and you get new drums!
I just know in the UK the line between wear and tear/accidental damage/manufacturing fault and your 12 month warranty is a grey area.
pilsner:
It's time for everyone who owns the Rock Band drum to take stock and admit to themselves that that fucker is going to break. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But some day. It may be the pedal, the heads, or it may transcend this earthly plane in a burst of gamma rays, but it will break.
Trollstormur:
my heads are fine so far (as far as i can tell,) but the pedal snapped in half not too long ago. i got a couple replacement ones for free. (i'm pretty sure I'm outside my warranty.)
