I broke the Rock Band drum pedal again last night. This time it was the plastic hinge knuckles that failed.
( So today its cyborgification continued. Flesh (and plastic) is weak. )
For the record, a 3" hinge from Lowe's fits perfectly. Correct width, correct pin diameter, just perfect all around.
The consensus is, next time it breaks it will be replaced with a real drum pedal. The Rock Band electronics is a simple little Hall effect switch, would be easy enough to add to some real hardware. Though I still want to try skipping the pedal entirely, playing with some magnets taped to my foot.
