Let me preface this. I play expert drums pretty well on my PS3 and with the ION set.
After two times in a row of playing "Desperate Times, Desperate Measures," I decide to venture online for a little friendly competition. First song, "The Kill." No problems. I win with authority. Then, the kid picks "All the Small Things." That's when it happened. I notice that my bass pedal is dropping all notes. So after getting pretty mad (and getting talked sh*t to by what sounded like a 13 year old), I tear my pedal apart and notice that a little piece of white plastic is rattling around in there. Come to find out that the little piece of plastic in question is what triggers the damn note in the first place! So my pedal is broken beyond repair (I could glue it, but it would undoubtedly break off again) and I cannot play RB2. So I venture into my closet after I realize I have another pedal. I had bought the Roadie Pedal after previously breaking four RB1 pedals. It looks identical so it should work, right? Nope. I'm sure most of you already knew that, but I had no reason to try it in the first place. The thing I don't understand is how my Roadie Pedal stood strong for three solid months and has the same inner workings, but this one snapped within five weeks.
I really don't know what to do. I am trying to get in contact with ION to see if they will replace the pedal, but do I really want a pedal that will assuredly break again sometime in March? Do any of you have suggestions? I really like the feel of this pedal, but I guess I am willing to explore other options, so any input really would be appreciated.
Rock on.
