    Ok so in the midst of a party last week, the drum pedal managed to get totaly smashed while playing. Is there anywhere to get the pedal on its own?

    Can it not be fixed? A quick google will show how flakey they are and easily broken.

    D4rk Onion quite possibly has his taped together :D Do you Onion?

    has the pedal actually snapped in half? there are plenty of diy fixes. And unless you are playing on hard or expert should work ok I'd say

    It's actually quite difficult to find a pedal in a shop here if at all possible?
    Ordering on line may be the only option even then shipping and cost of it might mean that a trip to smiths for the whole bundle of instruments would be a better option :(

    Snapped on the bit where ya push it down. Just below the orange bit, heading towards the heel.

    My housemate (an engineer) cut a piece of steel the shape of the pedal and used some industrial glue to fix it. This however only lasted about 2 weeks. After that, we used some flat butter knives and lots of duct tape.

    If you cant fix it, there's always this place

    You could try hunting down the portable RB drum set. HMV on grafton st had some a few weeks ago and were flogging them off for about €16. Unfortunately they don't seem to have any left at the moment.

    Amazon had them for around the same last I checked, if HMV have none left. Got a set ages ago and they are still in the box for when the inevitable happens to mine ;)

    I actually ended up using the drum pedal from the portable set as an alternate 'overdrive pedal' for the guitar.
