Kinetic's passion for accessibility and our love for video games have joined forces to allow more gamers to play one of today's most popular interactive video games, Rock Band.
Rock Band is a video game that is available for multiple game systems. It combines drums, guitars, and microphone to allow multiple users to experience a glimpse of what it's like to play in a rock band.
This is a repost from Kinetic Communications who gave AbleGamers.com permissions to repost. Thank you. You can see the original here . And you can Digg the post here .One of our clients with Lakeshore Foundation is an aspiring Rock Star who happens to be in a wheelchair. She was disappointed because the kickpedal feature on the drums cannot be disabled within the game. A team member heard of her wish and set to work on finding a more access-friendly solution.
To our knowledge, this mod hasn't been done before, so we would like to share the process with you. Materials only cost about $20 and can be found just about anywhere. Here's how we did it.

What you need:
What you do:
out 1/2" of the insulation to reveal the copper wiring (be sure
to leave the 35mm inp
ut connected, you will plug this in the foot pedal
input).
Now you're ready to rock hard. Simply unplug the foot pedal and plug in your sticks!

That's a great story because it showcases just what this site is about. I hope she's enjoying the drum set
The next challenge will be deleloping a mod that that will allow those of us with the use of only one arm to Rock out. If Rick Allen (Def Leopard drummer) can do it, so can we. Any ideas?
