Why would it be compatible with World Tour? I didn't realize that game had any such thing coded in. Is the double kick pedal setup for GH: Metallica compatible with Rock Band 2 though?

[NWR_Neal]

Not sure. I'm going to test to see if the GH double kick pedal setup from GH:Metallica is compatible with my 360 Rock Band 1 drums.

I've been using this pedal for Expert+ on GH Metallica since the day it came out. Buy it. Immediately. The GHWT pedal will not work with Rock Band drums - any of them. This pedal has an adapter with it so you can have one pedal depressed and the other pedal will still register when you hit it, using a "Y splitter" you have to release the other pedal first. Just so we're clear - this is an extra pedal, with an adapter for double bass, for the Rock Band 2 (and Rock Band 1) drums, and it also works (why wouldn't it?) with GH: Metallica's "Expert+" drum mode.
