Chosen Solution
On my Guitar Hero drums, how can I replace the wire from the drums to the foot pedal? The insulation is cracked and falling off.
Of course it’s always easier to throw money at the situation; buy a new thing when it breaks and throw the old one away, but that’s not what this website is about. If I recall correctly, that cable is just a headphone cable. You should be able to buy a cheap pair of headphones with a long enough cable, cut the headphones off and solder them to the appropriate points on the sensor. Of course, after you repair the first pedal, you could buy a second foot pedal and a cheap headphone splitter, and rock both pedals at the same time as a double bass.
The easiest thing to do is just replace the foot pedal. It would run you $20.00 - $40.00 to replace it OR you can repair it but you’d have to buy the same type of wiring and solder onto the sensor underneath the pedal.

I did it for free - simply removed the insulation sire, you’ll need some fairy as it is a bit sticky underneath. Obviously the wire is less protected but if it gets damage there is always that old set of ‘unused’ headphones in the loft. Enjoy!
