- I've just dug my Red Octane GH Drums out of storage so I can rock out, sadly they don't power on at all! We get nothing!
I really want to get these working, so let's open them up and try and figure out what's wrong!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Stupid Drums
I wish at the end of your videos instead of saying "Get in." you said "Get out."
@@stephen33 Why? The saying is "Get In there" or "Get In" for short. I'm guessing you from the U.S.A? Language barrier.
@@danw3735 It's called a joke.
These kits were notorious for the wires coming off the drums almost instantly after use. They were soldered in the loosest sense of the word and hitting them would just knock them off. I had a nearly-ruined Christmas one year, before googling it, opening it up and taping the wire back in place. My first DIY job.
A few years ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist."
I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever.
I've had Many experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart.
Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them.
Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, gentle, respectful, compassionate, patient, kind and forgiving, To All.
@@doublewhopper67 I did say it was my first DIY job.
You're a legend Steve, the only disappointing okay about a simple fix is there wasn't more to watch! Also, You inspired me to go out and get a soldering iron and a few other bits, and repair two faulty xbox controllers both with bad left joysticks , into one working one! It was good fun
That Blur Cam filter is epic 😂
That little chuckle of satisfaction, I know that one but with writing software, it's lovely when your efforts pay off!
I hope big clive finds your pub, and buys you a pint
He will sodomise him. Clive likes fat chubs.
Is the capacitor to store and supply power whilst avoiding interrupts from the drumming causing the kit to bounce around a lot?
Yep. That's exactly what it's for. They're in the guitars too.
I hope next time you have a more difficult fix, because i like watching you fix stuff ❤
If that's your 'lucky' England ODI cricket shirt then please don't wear it again Steve...
I know your good mate but no one needs to hear you banging on your own drum 😂
Waaaaaaw nice 120k subs alrdy thats going fast still know when i jion with 500 or 1000 subs 😊
BlurCam(TM) 😂
3:54 That sounds like a new Bon Jovi song
My. Guitar. Hero. Drums. Broke. Let’s. It!
I’m a drummer since more than 20 years and I find soo much difficult playing drums in those music games 😂 I find myself more confident with the bass guitar instead. Btw nice fix
Same, especially since the pads are made of the cheapest plastic which makes anything more than a straight beat a nightmare. Doing fills on these things without that little bit of bounce the real drums have will absolutely kill your wrists after about an hour. I can see why do many real drummers who got into Rock Band splurged and bought the nicer, $200 kit that had the mesh heads. Plus, as a drummer, I have a habit of playing phantom notes and such on the snare, which the game penalizes you for. lol
There's a MIDI pro adapter you can get to use any electronic drum kit with Rock Band 3 on 360, Wii and PS3, and 4 (on PS4, for Xbox One/Series you need a 800 dollar adapter so it's not worth it) You can even map the drums so you can fix the placement so it actually makes sense for an experienced drummer!
Mine had the same issue, fixed it while my friends were over real quick after checkin ur vid and it worked!! Huge thanks, no wonder im already subscribed
Unironically enjoying the 80s glam style music choice.
Wireless drums don't even make sense. It's not like you're gonna run around the room while drumming. Back in the day, I put a micro USB port in mine, so I could stop wasting batteries. And I also wired a switch so I could make the orange cymbal act as the green pad, so it would work on the older Rock Band games. RB3 made it redundant, since it already registered orange as green.
These crappy wires also like to come out of the piezo sensors under the pads. And these cymbals like to crack. So does the pedal. Or maybe i get a little too excited when I play.
Can you change the usb port, please.
It's these so honest yet simple fixes that are the best fixes of all :D
I thought I removed myself from the HHG tier, but apparently I didn't according to Patreon.
😳 not sure what's happened there, but you're definitely still on the 'active' list!
I wish all youtube ads were as good as the raps, i’d watch em all
Can't go wrong with some Huey Lewis and the News.
Bateman?
Huey Lewis, my favourite coke head 😂
Yeah even Ray Parker Jr. knows it
How funny is it that I just broke out my old PS3 Guitar Hero World Tour set 2 days ago to see if it works and it does. We're both in for good drum times with a stupid game!
Awesome! It's still such an enjoyable game! 😊
A true maestro!!!
😅 thanks Vince!
Love the non-rap 😀😀😀
Nice video, had it recommended to me because I recently got back into guitar hero and my guitar wasn't working, was searching videos on it and fixed it and felt proud of myself (first time I've ever fixed an electronic). My drums are working but the kick pedal's cord completely disintegrated lmao, they clearly made these as cheaply as possible.
Nothing better than watching a Big Kid Enjoy themselves 😂
It's not making sense to my logical brain. MY GUITAR HERO but DRUMS? Shouldn't it be MY DRUMS HERO then? My brain is just refusing to accept this atrocity.........
Sometimes all we need is a nice simple and satisfying fix!
If you would like to see a real band who got their start on Guitar Hero and Rock Band, check out the Mexican group "The Warning". These games inspired them to start their own band. It's 3 sisters, and I promise you they aren't a typical Mexican music band. They're very good. And cute!
Wow. 120k subs already??? You're well on your way to become the next SSSniperWolf of stuff not worth fixing! 🤣
NIIIICE
The montage music sounds like Rocky III if Journey had gotten the job instead of Survivor.
😊We need more!!!😊😊
I had the problem with all of the guitar hero stuff, being funny with certain batteries. They were always extremely picky with rechargeable ones. I just found that the cheap poundland ones mostly worked. I realise I'm typing this only minutes into the video, even before a fix....
Interesting to see how many different high quality cams you are using...
great video. My fave was the drums in Rock band I would play for hours. I might have to go dig mine out of the garage. 😊❤️
Blurcam (TM) 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂, and then we got the big-fat-head-cam loooooool
Love the channel. I wonder if you could tell me the track which is playing starting at 8:42 is, if it's not too much trouble. Thank you.
Liking Blurcam. How does Dave feel about it though?
i don't mind the singing but please don't do the g major effect on your voice again lmao
Crazy fun fix 😅😅😅😅
I've got a broken ps5 controller you can have..... you got a p.o. box?
I always knew those drum sets were cheezy, but i never knew they were THAT cheezy inside... hahah
This video had match fixing vibes for me. It felt like a manufactured fault to great a video. I hope I'm just wrong as I do enjoy the content and the rap.
Give Quiche a Chance............Boys from the Dwarf
The video was too short. You should break it and fix it again so we'll have more time watching you.
Is it weird that I hear Boy Beorge's speaking voice when I hear Steve talking?
Hi Steve, I would recommend some sort of pitch correction for the singing. Melodyne for instance.
Another great video my friend, have you ever worked on a smartwatch? As I've got on that doesn't work.
Got me headbanging here
Ps what a load of 💩 💩 🏏
And ps on the ps I didn’t know you had dandruff 🤪
Oh how I remember band hero. When I had kids at home to play with. Um.... In the right way Steve
My yellow cymbal stopped working like two days after I got the set brand new. Needles to say every song was unplayable at that point.
Those are guitar hero drums not rock band drums 🤣
Omg the ambient back light on your TV is sexy AF 😍
I love rap but always skip, not that it's not great, but not what i'm here for, it was nice to have something else for a change!
after hearing you say it so many times and wondering, is "get in" a soccer.. er... footy... reference?
I just use my Nan's saucepans to do my drumming.
She's mutton so i get away with it.
Hi 8bit tv video game repair and 5volt supply how to find
The drums were cheap and too plasticly for my likeing .i had the guiter. Mic.drums .i prefered the guitar .same with rock band . I think i only used the guitar about 4 times . But it was taking space under my bed and i never used them so i sold the lot .cant believe all that plastic crap cost around £150 brand new with the game when it first came out .
I have a pryramid stereo that has a tape deck and cd player with a radio. The whole thing rotates. It stopped working a while back. Is this something you would want to do a video on?
Do you have mice in your house? Not any more after this opening song....
Nice fix. Real electric kits were the way to go back in the day.
Amazing song choice for the test of the schupid game
Love the song.
Nothing like playing a game you got an itch for and play it for a few minutes and give up lmao
There is nothing spookier for spooktober than an Activision product.
"I see dead franchises" - kid who isn't Bruce Willis, but is in the movie with Brucie and da dead folk.
And I also love how Muppet man is inside your multimeter. Don't forget to feed it every once in awhile and he will Fornit some Fornus like a flexible bullet.
We need to talk. If I make sandwiches, will you bring a bottle of wine? 🐈⬛
I once took the brain out of one of these and wired it up so I could attached it to a midi drum kit. It was so professional, I had to use an ice cream tub and parcel tape for the case. Complete overkill but it worked quite nicely 😁
There was an official MIDI adapter for Rock Band 3 haha
Yeah but where’s the fun? 😂
To be fair, the kit was broke from GH Metallica so before the midi pro came out. Godsend when they eventually released it.
You.can.remove.the.cymbals!
If you stick to the rock instead of the rap, I wont skip!!
It is a bit ironic that you need a drum git to play a guitar game. Hehehehe.
The capacitor bridges short interruptions of the batteries when hitting the drums. Otherwise, the risk of the "controller" going out would be high.
And then use tiny wire gauge between the batteries/cap and the board?
Putting the cap on the pcb would be a better solution and a spending a bit more on decent wires.
@@samuraidriver4x4 not my decision
@@ThePsychoBoiz I know, its Microsoft cheaping out again.😁
for me the yellow cymbal is almost completely torn off lol
Huey Lewis and the news FU#% YEAH!!!
That song selection is great...
👍👍 loved the patreon music today
Wherr can I get a blurcam tm? Is it in your merch store?
I am from brazil. I like your videos
Well done. Big reservoir capacitor for big splurges (technical term) when Van Halen kicks in.
A little bit useless in that location considering the tiny wires going to the board.
Bit of a design oversight.
@@samuraidriver4x4 Possibly, though (guesswork on my part for these drums) any current spike would be very short duration (you would get away with small wires only under those circumstances) and the cap (which looks like an afterthought bodge) would partially reduce the consequent voltage dip.
Name that Blink 182 tune!!
you put this in storage with batteries in it that is a big no no
stupid guitar hero thing great video
The rock song was way better then the rap 😃
Steve enjoying a stupid game :)
Loved the rock music.
Love it, keep on drumming!
rock is much better than the rap
Lets go back Marty😄
you dont need money LALALALLA
Not as easy as it looks huh
You are my inspiration :)
I have the misery of owning the Wii version of these drums that are similarly flimsy. If anyone knows of decent aftermarket Wii-compatible GH drums, let me know...
You are very nice 😂😂😂❤
I've been taking mine apart, fixing it and modding it for 16 years now and they still work great!
Such an easy fix hey….
Guitar Hero is coming back from all the talk you are hearing out of ABK…you’d think the gear would be a bit better this time around, tho thankful mine is still working..
I don't mind Rock.
Smoke me a kipper!!! 😁
Nice fix friend😅😅😅
*SOLID ROCKIN VIDEO*
