Cheap mod quiets Rock Band drums

We don't know why there's been such a fervent quest to dampen the clickety-clack noise of the Rock Band drum kit:, as we've already solved the problem. Here, try our free mod: First, turn the TV up. Second ... there is no second! You're done. And as a side benefit, you're playing louder! Like a real rock star.

But, if neighbors or local noise ordinances make our plan impossible, forum members at the Quarter to Three Forums have been working to curtail the problem. The biggest success so far seems to be these circular mouse pads, trimmed and glued to become efficient, silent conduits of rock. Keith Moon would be ... well, he'd be disgusted. But your wife will be happy.
