Loded Diper (stylised as "Löded Diper") is a band that is founded by Rodrick. Its main appearance is in Rodrick Rules. Additionally, the drum set appears in Cabin Fever, The Long Haul and the van appears in Cabin Fever and Double Down. When Rodrick Heffley attended middle school, he became best friends with Chris and Ward, both who were future members. According to Greg, Rodrick met Bill while camping the night before a concert. He had previously been voted "Most Likely to Be a Rock Star" in a class yearbook before, hence why Rodrick added him into the band. It's commonly thought that the band's spelling is to look cool; however, Greg suspects that Rodrick genuinely doesn't know how to spell properly and also thinks Rodrick is the worst speller in the house. This may be true, as Rodrick spelled Sweetie as "Sweaty". In the movie, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Rodrick kicks out Bill after performing Exploded Diper. The reason is before performing it, Bill tried to kick Rodrick out of the band. In Dog Days, Greg and Rowley volunteered as roadies for the band to perform at Heather Hills' Sweet 16.
