How do I map my drums?
Click on the Pads icon at the top of RPCS3.

It’s suggested to create a new configuration by clicking Add Configuration at the top right of the Pads window.
This is so you can change configuration profiles in case you want to play other games.

Follow the instructions and/or match the assignments below.

Pad Information
Section titled “Pad Information”| Handlers | Devices |
|---|---|
| XInput | XInput Pad |
| Device Class | Device Subtype |
|---|---|
| Drums | Rock Band Pro |
Setting Up
Section titled “Setting Up”-
Install [ViGEmBus] if you don’t have it already.
-
Download the latest version of [clipper.exe] from the “Assets” section.
-
Synchronize your drums to your computer’s Bluetooth receiver.
-
Double click
Clipperfile to open it.
-
A command line window will open. Make sure it stays running in the background. You can minimize it if you want to.
Mapping
Section titled “Mapping”By default, XInput has most things bound correctly. You only need to remap the following:
| RPCS3 | XInput | Drums |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | ![]() | ![]() |
| L3 | ![]() | Pad Modifier |
| R3 | ![]() | Cymbal Modifier |
- Rock Band Drums send multiple button presses out at once. For example, a Red pad will send
BandRight Stick Click(which translates to “Circle” and “L3”.) Keep in mind these are needed to the emulator to tell your cymbals apart.- It’s strongly suggested to bind an Xbox controller like the Mapping screenshot below then swapping the Device to your PS4 Rock Band Drums.
Profile
Section titled “Profile”How do I use profiles?
After downloading the profile,
- Extract the .7z file.
- Drag the
input_configsfolder into theconfigsfolder where you have RPCS3 in.
- After that, you can select the profile in the
Padsmenu.
Most of the time, these controller profiles should work out of the box. If they don’t, try changing the controller listed in Devices, next to the Refresh button until it receives an input. You can edit this while the game is running.
Advanced Mapping
- To bind multiple buttons to one RPCS3 button, hold Shift then click on the RPCS3 button you want to assign multiple buttons to.
