i did a power mod for the wii guitar hero warriors drums power mod.
why?
i would have to have my wii on then plug my midi cable into drums for it to work in phase shift.
now im not a pro at this and not have a multimeter so i looked up the penout of the wii connecter then took it apart to see what pins are what color.
after a bit i found the ground and 3.3v pins.
now my mod lets the wii part still work if you want. (i dont use it on wii just was cheap at thrift shore)
now i cant remember what pin is what but it is l2 and l4 is the ground and 3.3v.
my power pack uses 2 AA battery one AA is 1.5 making two 3.0 which is a bit low for then requirements by 0.3v.
but this just means that it will eat batterys quicker by a little bit.
do note other pcbs of the drums may be different
now im not sure what is ground and what is 3v on the power pack mine wasnt too clear on it. so i try one way and it didnt work so i swaped the wires and it worked powered by AA's and working with phase shift
i too a pair of snips to cut out a bit of plastic for the wire to go in to the wiimote cavity
below are all the pics

type of drums i have
1 is the power pack i have takes 2 AA batterys 2 is the wiimote connecter 3 is the cut out plastic
work done
this is where the work is done on my pcb
