Have you split or cracked your drum pad? Hit it a  bit too hard during the big ending of your favourite song? Then you will to head over to our parts store, order yourself a replacement drum pad and fit it before the rest of your band come round to play. This latest tutorial video will show you how to easily replace a broken, damaged or non responsive pad on the Band Hero drum kit.

The video guide below will guide you through the task in less than 5 minutes, and the procedure is the same whether you are swapping the red, green or blue pad on your band hero drum kit (here are instructions for changing a pad on the Guitar Hero drum kit) The only tools you will need are a Phillips and a Torx screwdriver and a bit of time to repair your kit and remember all our new  videos are brought to you in High Definition so you can select the 720p option at the bottom of the video for a bit more detail.

If your drum pad is not physically broken, just not responding to hits or registering double hits as if it is too sensitive, then you should have a look at our solderless drum repair kit which we will be bringing you a Band Hero specific video guide for real soon.

One of our most requested parts for the Band Hero drum kit is the control unit for the Nintendo Wii.

It seems that many of you are having issues with the small black control stick (or thumbstick) on the front of the control unit snapping off, this leaves the stick wobbly and unconnected and you can often hear pieces of plastic rattling around inside the control unit, once this happens this used to be the end of your drum kit until now.

We currently have a limited supply of replacement control units for the Nintendo Wii console featuring our new, exclusive, reinforced control sticks. These custom-made replacement parts available only through Band Hero Repair are made of tougher plastic with internal reinforcing which considerably improves the durability of the item.

To see if we have any stock of your unit head over to our Band Hero Spare Parts Store

Updated!

If you wish to replace your broken control stick with our exclusive upgraded part then you can see our fitting guide and order one from us directly, Nintendo Wii Replacement Control Stick

Opening the band hero drum kit is a simple procedure requiring only one tool - a Torx T10 screwdriver

The image below shows the location of all the screws which must be removed to gain access to the inside of the drums. Once the screws are all removed the back of the drums will come away quite easily.

Things to note

• You will need a screwdriver that will reach down to the top 2 screws as shown in the image - they are the deepest of all the screws and a short bit / driver combination may not fit - check this first! Our 8 in 1 Torx Screwdriver Sets are fully compatible
• All the holes are at an angle - if you approach from the direction suggested by the image you will find it a lot easier
• The two bottom screws (as shown in the image) are located under the rubber feet - simply pry these off then remove the screws from underneath.
