How the HELL do you play Painkiller with one bass drum pedal?

How the HELL do you play Painkiller with one bass drum pedal?

Man, you should see the Roadrunner Records DLC pack. Six metal tracks. Even as a drummer, my kick pedal leg was really sore afterward.

Side note: this game is awesome.

My friend bought this, and brought it over last night. We played for 5 hours straight, drinking. Great fun indeed.

[Imagist]

sure they are. I saw them at best buy. the SPECIAL EDITION isn't out yet.

Man, is Harmonix smoking rock? Why the hell can't they release the special edition on time if they've got the individual instruments for sale, too?

[Lunarfall]

Anyone know if the bass drum pedal for rb2 still feels cheap and will fall apart if you even use any force?

[sephfire]

The special edition drums are released, but they're shipping all the preorders right now. They'll start showing up in Gamestops and such eventually. But I think you can buy the RB2 standard instruments already.

edit:

My bad, I thought you meant the fancy, limited edition instruments, not the full box set of standard instruments.

Maybe it's just 'cause I never used a real bass pedal, but it seemed the part of the drum set I was least scared to really put a lot of force behind. I'm more interested in the squishy drums. I'll probably be buying a set of those when I pick up the game.

By "Special Edition," I meant the bundle pack with all the instruments. I.e., how the original Rock Band was released to begin with. That isn't getting released until the PS3 version is, which means if you want all the updated instruments now you'll have to spend an extra $50 total.

Also, re: the updated drum set, pictures show a metal-reinforced kick pedal. So it should be less flimsy, at least moderately so.

Might be playing it tonight at a friends, can't wait to try it out. I want to play "Hands Down" by Dashboard Confessional. I hope that they eventually put "where is my mind?" by the Pixies.

Can't wait to try Keep 'Em Seperated...

[EdgeCrusher]

I was excited as fuck for keep em seperated. Unforunately it was one of the last songs we played cause it was 1 am in the morning. I got to get alex back by this weekend so we can make it to megadeth.

AFI is "teh gay".

AFI is alright, it's like they're the fore front of all things EMO and punk, or at least that's what their record company is making them out to be.

December Underground was good, but Sing The Sorrow is leaps and bounds better.

Its a little better, but I suggest getting a real bass pedal and just mod that. Its what my friend did. Totally worth it.

Gonna have to find out how then. Even the cheapest bass drum pedal is miles better, and they're horrible to begin with.
