I experimented with the soldering iron and tried to desolder those damn wires. Well, I did that, and I think I burnt out the contacts underneath all of them as well.
But it's not all lost for me yet. I found out that there are alternate places to grab input for all 5 drumheads.

Here is where I found the alternate input spots. All of them are highlighted in a battery shape. All of them have solder on top, but some exposed contacts barely show.
It's pretty funny how the controller freaks out if you short the contacts with a wire. Hearing some of the drumheads trigger at 100 times a seconds is hilarious.
I have no idea with that circle with + and - does. Shorting them doesn't seem to do anything yet.
There are other places that trigger the drumheads in the game if you short them. I was fooling around with it and dragging exposed wires all over it and random drumheads were hit in the game.
Now I need to desolder those points without burning out the contacts, try to put on new wire on those, and try not inhale so much solder vapor.
update:
The mystery circle triggers all of the inputs at once when shorted. That might be handy for something.
I can't get anything out of those battery things again. I think I completely trashed it. :/
