Took the pad off to take a look and the gorilla glue cracked...wtf? I didnt hit it very hard just a few light taps. Guess ill have to contact customer support and get a new set I tried the gorilla glue and after letting it sit for 24 hours, attaching it back to the rack and two hits my yellow drum pad still doesnt work.

I live in Brazil and i just bought rock band 2 for the equivalent price of $550 and, in two weeks, my yellow pad got completelly cracked - we dont have warrant to this product here. Then i made some research, opened the pad and...i broke the small cable that connects the head to the drums (that was yesterday). I was so pissed off. But now i see a light in the end of the tunnel, thanks to your post. We don't have Gorilla Glue here, (at least not with this name), but i'll buy some epoxy and try the hole process For the cable, i'll try to fix it. As a last resource i'll buy a new head from ebay. I didn't know i had all this alternatives to fix this. Thank You. Man, thank you very much for the explanation.
