If you've tried all the suggested troubleshooting steps and your PlayStation 3 (PS3) is still not recognizing your Rock Band drums, here are a few additional steps you can try:
Make sure the drums are properly connected: Ensure that all of the drum kit's cables are properly connected to the console and to the drums themselves. Also, check that the dongle (wireless receiver) is properly plugged into the console.
Check the batteries: If the drum kit runs on batteries, check that the batteries are fresh and properly installed.
Check for interference: Make sure that there are no other devices in close proximity to the drums or the console that could cause interference.
Try a different USB port: If you've connected the drums to a USB hub, try connecting it directly to the console's USB port instead. Alternatively, try a different USB port on the console.
Check for compatibility: Ensure that your Rock Band drums are compatible with your specific PS3 model. Some older models may not be compatible with certain peripherals.
Check for software updates: Make sure that your PS3 is up to date with the latest system software and game updates. Check for any available updates and install them if necessary.
If none of these steps work, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for further assistance.
I hope this isn't too simplistic. Here are my suggestions, though. Try disconnecting everything from the console. Then, plug JUST the drums into the back of the Wii. When the game starts up, be sure to press the + key on the drumset, not the Wiimote. If that works, then just remember the following:
Red drum = "B" button (back)
Yellow drum = "Up"
Green drum = "Down" (both of these to select menu items)
Blue drum = "A" button (select)
Remember that once the game loads, don't use the wiimote. If you use the drums to navigate to solo play, you won't see the guitar. Same with the guitar.
If it works by itself, then try adding the hub, then the guitar receiver.
Make sure that the Guitar Wireless receiver, microphone, and drums are connected to the USB hub provided with Special Edition. Ensure that the foot pedal is connected to the drum set. Then, perform the following:
1) Ensure you have fresh batteries in the Wireless Guitar
2) Insert receiver into USB hub
3) Turn on Guitar via switch on back.
4) If both the guitar and the USB receiver is flashing blue, then press the guitar logo button until flashing blue light on the receiver stops flashing.
It should work without, but I'm sure you'll want it repaired.
If the broken part is on the Nintendo Wii, you can use the other port, or go to www.nintendo.com and contact customer service.
On the other hand, if the problem is with the 4-port USB hub or the wireless guitar receiver, Nintendo won't care. You can go to www.ea.com, register your product, and open a problem ticket.
Ensure that the foot pedal is connected to the drums. Ensure that the drums are connected to the included Rock Band 4-Port USB hub. Ensure that the hub is connected to the USB port on the back of the Wii console.
Don't expect the drums to work as a remote until Rock Band is completely loaded. Use the Wiimote to take you to that point.
Rock Band and Guitar Hero instruments are NOT compatible on the Wii. They are compatible on the 360, the PS3, and the RB drums for PS2. Activision went their own way with the Wii and made life difficult for all of the aspiring musicians on the Wii. Sorry.
