Alesis Nitro drum pad repair - easy fix (piezo soldering)

Easy repair, it´s just a broken solder joint.

Thanks, i have a Surge mesh wich is a bit more complicated to access, but the problem is the same. Thanks from spain, you save my day!!!

I bought an Alesis Nitro and the HH pedal was deal on arrival - the switch needs replacing - no help from Alesis support it's not like this though - has a small board attached. Very frustrating to encounter this on brand new stuff.

tip: since your piezo was broken, you should have replaced the piezo entirely and not re-soldered it because more than likely it will just break again. also, after soldering apply epoxy cement to the wires on the piezo to help keep the solder joint from breaking off.

[@dnsguitarsandstuffs6093]

Yeah, this is the best option, if u have one. 👍

Do you have an Amazon link by chance of what piezos I need to buy? I have a cymbal, kick, and Tom that need replaced. Thanks!

The piezo was not broken. The connection to the piezo was. Piezos are manufactured then wires are soldered to it. The piezo would be "broken" if it no longer sent a signal.

Happy holidays and thanks for your video. I was hoping you might be able to recommend the proper soldering iron for this kind of work. There are so many options now that I'm not exactly sure what to purchase.

[@dnsguitarsandstuffs6093]

Thanks man. I believe, it´s not so important. If you can control the temperature, it's more than enough. With 350-370 °C you are on the safe side.

Chances are if were here then we don't know how to do this kind of work and therefor do not know what materials your using. I know your using a soldering iron and solder what is the other stuff glue?

[@dnsguitarsandstuffs6093]

Yeah, it´s a hot glue gun.

amazon or ebay has them in different sizes so match the size you are replacing.
