I think just about everyone can agree that one of the most annoying parts of Rock Band is the noise that the drums make.  There has been a multitude of mods created for the sole purpose of silencing the drums, some of which are featured on this site, and Harmonix has decided to remedy the situation by releasing official drum silencers.

The solo buttons on the Rock Band Stratocaster controller are a great addition to “rhythm game” controllers.  However, they can be difficult to use during gameplay, especially if you have large hands.  Wouldn’t it be great if you were able to use the standard fret buttons to act just like the solo buttons, ie no strumming during solo sections or Big Rock Endings?  Well, that’s what this extremely simple mod sets out to do.

The Foam and Felt drum silencing mod is one of the first mods created in order to help dampen the “clacking” noise that the stock Rock Band drum pads create when played.  This mod is also one of the easiest to create and least expensive to implement.
