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.cite web |url=http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2008/09/23/rock-pedal-for-rock-band-an-omega-pedal-killer|title=Rock Pedal for Rock Band: an Omega Pedal killer? |accessdate=2008-10-09|date=2008-09-23 |publisher=Ars Tehnica ] [cite web |url=http://www.rockpedal.com |title=Rock Pedal official website |accessdate=2008-10-09]
