I thought I'd take a little poll. How many of you have had some sort of breakage of one of your instruments?

I've had to replace my pedal once (after I got the new one I bought one of those fiberglass things that go over the top of it off of ebay and that seems to be holding good), and just now I discovered this:

Not good.

I'm on my second drum set. The first one's pads all got cracked. Now BOTH (they let me keep the first one) bass pedals are cracked as of today, but are not yet unusable. My first guitar had the ever so popular strumming issue, and no my second guitar has a broken whammy bar (something broke inside of the guitar and the whammy bar just flops around), but I won't even bother replacing it since I don't use it (my friend broke it).

I hope my drums break by the time RB 1 comes out, then I can get the [supposedly] more reliable ones.

I really hope my drums last through RB2...

I've always used the Les Paul from GHIII, but when I have friends over, they'll sometimes use the RB Stratocaster. Not any more, though. It almost never registers down strums, and double strums if you're going up sometimes. Same thing happened to another friend. I know HMX have been saying new instruments are a little sturdier, but I hope it makes a difference.

yea happens alot, need stronger stuff

The Rock Band drums are horrible.

Hopefully, the Harmonix "innovate-perfect" motto proves itself with RB2.

The bass pedals are really easy to fix, even though mine's still doing fine.

My drum's are working great; my strumbar on my guitar died out the first day I got it, but I applied a self-fix of sorts and took care of it. Mic's fine.

Yea but rock band 2 developers said their equipment will be alot better...so its all good

Well I just sent the set back, it'll probably be at least a month before I see a new one. It'll be nice to get a fresh set for RB 2 though.

the stupid pedal keeps on breaking and i can't send it in because the stupid warrenty expired. why would they only have a 60 day warrenty if they made such crappy equipment?

I haven't had any problems yet, but I basically only play guitar, and when I do, I use my GH3 controller.

"the stupid pedal keeps on breaking and i can't send it in because the stupid warrenty expired. why would they only have a 60 day warrenty if they made such crappy equipment?"

I just sent my drums in two days ago. The pedal was close to breaking, and the red drumpad dropped notes :( 

I've replaced the pedal, then the red pad stopped working. Hopefully Rock Band 2's drum set is more reliable.

I had to replace my pedal.. I bought a wooden pedal from a dealer on Ebay works great.  I also have the problem of my drum kit sliding across the floor.. so I had to put dumbbells on it.     And I don't think my snare will register drum rolls and never has...   I don't use the Strat .. I tried it when I first bought the game and it felt too clunky.. so I just used my Xplorer and Les Paul.  Anyone know how a way to fix my snare so I can do rolls?

My strumbar stopped working. = /
