Update - After seeing some feedback and doing some more digging into using a reed switch, that's another option that's just as effective and a lot easier. The exact parts may change as the project develops, check to make sure your drum kit uses 1/4” connectors before buying anything! If you're happy with the stock RB drum pedal you can skip the pedal adapter and just make the case for the cymbals/toms/snare.ġx Working RB drum kit - The case is designed for Xbox RB4, I can't attest to any other model This also prevents you from holding down the pedal to sort songs. I recommend unplugging the Arduino when it’s not in use.
If you follow my initial method using an Arduino for the kick pedal, it needs power and in the interest of time I’m using a separate power cable.Having the mechanical drum pedal makes playing so much cooler.Even with the Alesis Nitro it totaled around $500, around half of the wired legacy accessory adapter on eBay! In total this cost me $150-200 to make in hardware. This guide is non-destructive and can be completely reversed if you want to sell your plastic instruments for retirement money in a couple decades. My one concern was having to potentially modify the now relatively hard to find RB4 drum kit, or worse break it entirely as part of the process. Thanks to Mr DONINATOR on Youtube who made a video detailing his similar project that inspired this. Hope this guide comes in handy to someone, keep on rocking!Īfter hearing a popular podcast host mention his concern about his wired USB legacy adapter dying, I went looking for a DIY solution to hooking up a better/custom eKit to RB. Since Harmonix doesn't seem like they're going to produce any more RB hardware and tearing them apart is inherently risky, I would recommend you go that route. 2023 Update - I was made aware that Roll Limitless now supports Xbox instruments.
