Product Description
Has your Rock Band pedal broke yet? Its not a matter of if, its when... Install a Pedal Metal product and greatly reduce your chances of breaking your pedal. Pedal Metal Billet with Hinge is the latest and probably the most needed product that we have been working on. Its as easy to install as all our Pedal Metal products and works perfect. Pedal Metal Billet with Hinge is designed to fix the problem of the very low break on the pedal right at the hinge. (see pix for an example) This will also work with a good pedal or a pedal busted in the middle. If your pedal is broken near the hinge and not right at it you will need to email me for a modification that we will do for free. We are the company with the reinforcements that have been talked about and endorsed on many sites on the web. Epileptic Gaming has video of our product over on you tube too! The package includes the pre drilled Pedal Metal Billet and the Hinge along with the hardware and detailed instructions. If you have any questions about any of our products please email us at petalmetals@gmail.com

 Can't rock on HARD or EXPERT without this! February 20, 2008

It's no secret that the Rock Band drum pedal is prone to breaking. If you play the drums on Hard, with its inclusion of quarter notes in songs like Paranoid and others, you are almost guaranteed to break the thing at some point.
I had already broken my pedal once and had gone through the process of sending it back. It was no fun. Furthermore, the replacement, which works, still is as structurally weak as the original item. As I progressed to harder and harder tunes, I could feel the pedal readying to break... again.
Then, I found this product (insert Heavenly music). I bought it and it arrived in whiplash-inducing time. Instructions were easy to follow and installation was a breeze. More than that, the thing works. The hinge now feels sturdy under my feet and the pedal now can take a lickin' and keep on kickin'!!! When friends come over to play on my kit, I don't worry that one of them might accidentally break the thing. For the piece of mind this gives, it was a bargain.
 Love the product, hate the assembly February 26, 2008

Sorry guys, but I will be the first not to 5 star this. The pedal came very quickly, and it works great. Putting it together was not as easy as everyone said it was. Putting the screws in alone took me nearly half an hour. The worst part was putting on the bottom hinge. I centered it perfectly as the instruction said so, the plastic plate on the pedal was perfectly centered as well, and when I went to attach the hinge on the plastic plate, it was off and I had to redo the holes. It works and looks great, just putting it together took a little longer than I would have liked.
 Hinge Broke! June 24, 2008

I bought this kit about a month ago. The install was relatively easy (required a little muscle). The pedal felt great, I was finally able to let loose on it without fear of breaking it (after having already broken 3 normal pedals).
Unfortunately a week ago I could hear the plastic hinge starting to crack. It was loud and very clear it was on its way out. The hinge finally broke all the way through last night. I feel the original hinge Rock Band shipped would have lasted longer than this plastic piece I replaced it with. Now I'm stuck again.
I was hoping for some piece of mind from never having to worry about this stupid pedal again. This product may not be the answer.
 This is how the Rock Band pedal should feel. February 13, 2008

I bought Rock Band on day one, at midnight, at a Wal-Mart. I took it to my friends house, I played until 9 A.M. the next morning. My pedal actually lasted from Nov. 20th until right around Dec. 15 or so. So, it almost made it a month.
I sent my original pedal in and had a replacement pretty soon after. The 2nd pedal that I received used thicker plastic and a shorter spring. When I say shorter, I mean it had less coils than the original spring. This new spring put less pressure on the plastic pedal than the original spring. This definitly helps to keep the plastic from breaking but I can still feel the pedal bending under my foot when I play.
I was a bit worried my pedal might break again. I read many reviews comparing this item, the "Pedal Metal," to the "Mega Pedal." The "Mega Pedal" is purely a copy-cat item released after the "Pedal-Metal" came out. Not only does it look cheaper, there is no attempt at fixing the weakest part of the pedal; the hinge. I decided to get the most protection for my pedal as possible.
The item shown here removes the original hinge included in the original Rock Band pedal and instead uses a thin sheet of Fiber-Glass to hold the pedal in place. So instead of putting loads of presure on the hinge of the pedal you're putting pressure on a bendable piece of fiberglass, which is pretty much guaranteed not to break. Seriously, it's going NOWEHER. It's a bit hard to explain but let me just say that it WORKS LIKE A CHARM.
Installation: EASY!!!
Look: AMAZING!!!
Feel: I CAN NAIL SONGS ON EXPERT I COULDN'T EVEN TOUCH BEFORE!!!
Overall: THE BEST WAY TO SPEND MONEY IMPROVING YOUR ROCK BAND EXPERIENCE.
Honestly, Pedal-Metal mean business. I ordered mine on a Friday and had it by Monday, i'm sure if I ordered it on a weekday i'd have it in two days time. Seriously, the drum set just looks that much more serious with this pedal attached. And it feels so much better to. I can honestly stomp on the pedal if I feel like it without even giving a second thought to anything breaking. It's virtually indestructible, and I mean that.
If you're even passively considering purchasing this item for your drum set, just do it. You'll never play Rock Band drums the same again.
Keep Rocking!!

I decided to get this item because of the rumors going around online of rock band pedals breaking, so i decided that i wont let that happy to my 160 dollar investment. i checked around online and i found this metal pedal and the reviews were pretty good so i bought it.
it came real quick i got it in 4 days ( i was actually surprised since on the amazon account it said that its not shipped yet)
i brought it home, even though the instruction seemed a bit hard but when i actually do it it wasn't hard at all, you just gotta be careful with the heel pedal but i got through it with no problem in the first try. the whole thing took me about 20 minutes, all you need is a screwdriver
the result is great now i dont have to worry about stepping on it too hard i can just concentrate on hitting the notes and i actually do better on those bass heavy pieces since i dont have to worry about the pedal snap in half.
i recommend anyone that have rockband to get this, trust me its worth it.
