Let's have a show of hands: Who's having problems with the drum pedals in their music game of choice? Apparently, the number of gamers who do is high enough that Nyko has announced plans for a "more durable foot pedal" called the Metal Pedal. Here are the specs:
  • Compatibility with all standard drum controllers for Rock Band 1 and #@%!3
  • 4#@%! and Guitar Hero: World Tour on all platforms
  • Metal plating for lasting durability
  • Rubber feet to keep the pedal firmly in place
  • Coiled wire keeps the drum kit tangle free
  • Wide base for stable footing and consistent response
The Metal Pedal will make its debut at CES 2009. It'll hit store shelves come January of 2009 at a suggested price point of US$ 19.99.

I added plastic epoxy near the hinge on mine to reinforce it. Hasn't broke yet.

I wish they'd make one without the spring, it feels unnatural.
