Hi Bwest86,
I think the best thing to do is to take it back to the store. At least the yellow pad should work.

I just bought Rock Band 2 and the red pad on the drum kit doesn't work, not to mention the wireless controller piece on the set is constantly searching and researching even though it connects sometime.
Please help.
