DIY – Rock Band Drum Kit Accessibility Mod

, Jun 2nd 2008 Discuss [1]

Rock Band has easily become one of my favorite games, which I tend to play a lot. I'll switch out between rocking the guitar, drums and vocals, however, I feel bad that those without full use of their legs can't use the drums.

While Harmonix tried to smooth things over by releasing a patch which would allow GH controllers to work, it never saw the light of day because of a dispute with Activision.
