Creating a Dual Pedal Rock Band Drumset
As you move from medium to hard to expert Rock Band drumming, you might notice that kick pedal usage goes up. Way up. Single kicks become double kicks become triple kicks, and “missing” kick notes suddenly materialize all over the place in songs.
To deal with lots of kick pedal action in songs, real drumsets often have more than one kick pedal:

Through some clever hackery, it’s possible to set up dual kick pedal action for Rock Band drumsets as well.
I frown on this type of mod because it deviates significantly from the default Rock Band drumset — learning to play well with this mutant two pedal drumset will absolutely ruin you when you sit down on a stock Rock Band drumset.
Still, it is cool, and it does highlight the absurdity of playing those songs with crazy amounts of kick drum with only a single pedal.



I applaud their attempts to more accurately emulate a real drum kit.
