Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the Nyko Metal pedal to replace my GHWT pedal. I had already broken one GHWT pedal, and my current one was showing signs of wear, so I decided to go ahead and purchase this pedal to see if it was any better than the stock pedal.
My first impression out of the box was that the pedal feels nice and sturdy. It feels like this pedal will stand up to a bit of abuse. Unfortunately, that is really this pedals only good point.
After receiving the pedal I plugged it in and started playing, my scores were noticeably lower than they were when using the stock GHWT pedal. I thought maybe I just need to get used to it, so I spent the last two weeks using this pedal in order to form a solid opinion: This thing is no good.
One problem with this pedal is that the spring has very little tension, and there is no way to adjust it. Due to this lack of resistance the pedal has no "Bounce". You press it down, and you practically have to lift your foot completely in order for the pedal to come back up. This makes fast kick notes extremely difficult.
Another problem with this pedal is that if you have carpeted floors this pedal will slide around everywhere. There is nothing on this pedal to give it good surface friction on carpet. You can add a PVC cross-bean to your drum set to hook this pedal on and keep it more secure, but you then lose the ability to place the pedal wherever is most comfortable.
Lastly, the response of the pedal leaves something to be desired. Songs with fast kicks or double-kicks are practically impossible to keep combo going. It seems to work okay on songs that don't have a lot of kick, but even then the pedal seems to drop notes occasionally (maybe a 3% drop note rate).
Connecting this pedal and the GHWT pedal in double-bass configuration does not work. Drops notes like crazy when set up like this.
After a couple of weeks I decided to switch back to my stock GHWT pedal(with some modifications to hopefully keep it from breaking). My scores were immediately higher again. I can keep combo on fast songs without problem.
If you are looking for an improvement to the stock GHWT pedal, this pedal is not what you are looking for.
