+## Drums
+
+I bought a [Cheap children's drum toy](https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Sboet-Practice-Headphone-Christmas/dp/B0CHJMYCH9/)
+from Amazon.
+There are dozens of copies of this thing,
+the one I got was on sale for $25.
+
+I had to unscrew the cover and remove the
+logic board, battery, and speaker.
+The pads were connected with
+a sort of ribbon connector,
+which I desoldered and removed,
+then placed in my own perma-proto board.
+
+I also hooked up a 3.5mm TRS jack for the two pedals,
+which I could have desoldered from the toy
+(I already had these).
+
+I'm sorry I didn't photograph or record any of this,
+but it was pretty straightforward.
+
+
+# Compiling
+
+This compiles in the Arduino IDE.
+It doesn't have any library dependencies.
+
+You need to make two edits to `boards.txt`.
+Instructions for this are all over the place.
+
+Find your board, and edit the `build` lines.
+Don't edit anything that doesn't say `build` on the line! I can't help you if you do this.
+
+In my examples, I'm editing the lines for the leonardo build. Yours might be different:
+it should match the board you're using.
+
+## Build flags
+
+This disables serial communications on the board.
+
+    leonardo.build.extra_flags={build.usb_flags} -DCDC_DISABLED
+
+Hat tip to Nicholas Angle for figuring this out
+so I didn't have to.
+
+## VID and PID
+
+These set the USB identifiers.
+VID is the Vendor ID,
+and PID is the Product ID.
+
+`0x1bad` means "Harmonix Music",
+at least, it does to the Linux kernel.
+
+### For guitar
+
+PID `0x004` means "Guitar controller".
+
+    leonardo.build.vid=0x1bad
+    leonardo.build.pid=0x0004
+    leonardo.build.usb_product="Mockband Guitar"
+
+
+### For drums
+
+PID `0x3110` means "Rock Band 2 drums".
+This works better with all versions of Rock Band on my wii,
+even if you don't use the cymbal inputs.
+
+    leonardo.build.vid=0x1bad
+    leonardo.build.pid=0x3110

 # Wiring
 
-![see standard.hh for pin connections](wii-rb-std.png)
+Both the guitar and drum kit I used
+provide simple momentary switches:
+nothing fancy like a piezo.
+If you're using fancier types of inputs,
+you'll need to modify the source code.
+
+## Guitar

+The solo buttons and wammy bar are optional.
+I don't use them.

-* Red Solo: high hat
-* Tilt: 2x kick

-I think. I haven't been able to test this yet,
-but the Clone Hero wiki leads me to believe this is how it works.
-
-You can hook up a wammy bar for the drum kit,
-and it will be sent the same way as the guitar.
