Rock Band double bass pedal brings out the Joey Jordison in you
True metal-heads have already modded their Rock Band / Guitar Hero kits to accommodate that DW 5000, but for those who lack any DIY genes whatsoever, there's this. Accessory maker PDP is gearing up to ship its universal Rock Band replacement kick pedal, which conveniently ships with a "double bass adapter that allows for two pedals to be used at the same time." Time to get to work on your coordination skills, 'cause you'll definitely want to lay down $24.99 on this when it ships on June 1st.[Thanks, Omar]
Rock Band kick pedal modded for double bass action
It's one thing to use a real live stompbox to activate Overdrive; it's another to hack up your Rock Band kick pedal to enable that sweet, sweet double bass action that Lars Ulrich, Joey Jordison and the rest of the crew (read: you) just have to have. As you'd expect, there's a bit more to it than just adding in a splitter, but if you're not frightened by circuitry diagrams and having to ask the hobby store guy for a 5-volt power supply, you'll be more than fine.
