Guitar Hero: Metallica pre-orders come with bonus drum pedal

Wait, if the second bass pedal is controlled with the second foot, won't that be a bit strange? Double bass pedals are controlled with one foot. The other foot controls the high hat pedal, no?

Real drummers do it with one pedal.

No listing of the pedal coming with the Wii version, just 360 and PS3, wtf?

LOL, this is going to be hilarious. The same thing is going to happen again as when a bunch of hardcore Rock Band drummers decided to get splitters and plug in two bass pedals. It's actually pretty damn hard to play double bass with two feet; you've got to train yourself to alternate when there are a lot of kick notes. Which also means four-way independence. Unless it's some kind of blast-beat where you actually HAVE to use two feet because it would be physically impossible, it's probably easier for most novices to use a quick-hitting technique where you slide your foot forward, with only one pedal. So a lot of people found that actually, two pedals makes things harder, not easier.

Or for long strings of really rapid kick beats, get a real damn pedal. The GHWT pedal (and the regular Rock Band pedals) are not sensitive enough, they have giant springs instead of real gear-driven pedal mechanics, to tap really rapidly with your foot; you end up having to "bounce" with them.

Plus, on Rock Band there was a technical issue where if you plugged in a second pedal, it was feeding right into the same line as the first pedal, and it wouldn't recognize the second hit unless the reed switch from the first pedal opened again -- in other words you had to lift your foot from the first pedal to play the second pedal! This sucks for quick hits, maybe it's fine for rapidly alternating, but not for anything complex.

Lars is such a fucking tool.

Lots of great game footage. I can't wait to play!

Although everyone is thinking that it's only Metallica, from what I've read they have over 20 guest acts. For those who don't understand, there are other band's music on the game. I agree if it was only Metallica it would be only OK but I think their taste in music and additional music will be very good. I wish there was a way to get a complete list of tracks on Metallica's GH. IN Fact the track list is as follows: Metallica songs:
“All Nightmare Long”
“Battery”
“Creeping Death”
