Today Nyko announced its latest creation, the Metal Pedal. A heavy-duty drum pedal attachment that will pug directly into the standard drum sets of most music games. The pedal is designed for rugged durability, superior responsiveness, and is even aimed to aid a bit of style to your drumming rig.
Pedal Compatibility Issues?
The Metal Pedal will be compatible with Guitar Hero 4 : World Tour, Rock Band 1, and even Rock Band 2. The accessory will also be supported by every major platform including the Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Playstation 2.
Tough as Metal
Underneath the armored exterior of the Metal Pedal you will find a sophisticated piece of music-gaming equipment which features all sorts of improvements for your drumming needs.
- Metal plating will make for a more lasting durability
- Rubber feet to keep the pedal firmly in its place
- A coiled wire keeps the drum kit tangle free
- Wide base for stable footing and consistent response
- A decorative skeleton will add invaluable style points to your drumming rig
The metal plating's long lasting durability will keep you from ever smashing your foot pedal into a million pieces, and the rubber feat are sure to keep even the most aggressive drummers at bay. An extra strong coiled spring will also be included to help add more resistance to the product. This is especially important, because it will allow more notes to be hit in those extra fast passages.
“The outcry from gamers for a more durable foot pedal is the type of issue Nyko strives to address,” said Chris Arbogast, Director of Marketing at Nyko Technologies. “The Metal Pedal is a continuation of Nyko’s successful strategy of creating reliable, long-lasting, and affordable alternatives for all fans of music games.”
Serious Drummer's Accessory
Anyone who has ever had their foot pedal broken, had their current foot pedal slide away during the middle of a song, or anyone who has ever complained about their own pedals shoddy performance should welcome the Nyko Metal Pedal with open arms. A plethora of reasons make the Metal Pedal the primary pedal for all serious Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band drummers.
Metal Pedal in 2009
The Metal Pedal will be showcased for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2009 and will be playable on the ground floor. The Metal Pedal is also expected to be on store shelves January 2009 at an MSRP of $19.99.
