Rock Pedal is a third party drum pedal extension for the video game Rock Band, as well as the second version of that game. The product also works with the ION Drum Rocker. The pedal claims to be a suitable replacement for the included pedal, which many players find is of low quality.[1][2]

[edit] Features
Rock Pedal is made from an actual drum pedal, combined with a magnetic switch. Because the switch is non-contact, the product has a higher longevity than some other products.
[edit] Critical reception
Rock Pedal has been met with positive reception from the Rock Band community. Rock Gamer's Cena, a highly respected reviewer of Rock Band accessories, reviewed the pedal positively on June 5, 2008.[3] On September 23, 2008, Ars Technica released an in-depth review of Rock Pedal, comparing it to the popular Omega Pedal. The reviewer writes, "the Rock Pedal feels more professionally done than the Omega Pedal."[1]
[edit] Alternatives
There are many other drum pedals for Rock Band including, but not limited to:
- Omega Pedal
- Destroyer Pedal
- Stock pedal included with Rock Band
