The bottom line? The splitter seems to be junk. The pedal appears to be as advertised, so if all you need is a replacement pedal, I see no reason not to purchase this item. However, if you (like me) are excited about the idea of playing double kick parts on difficult Expert+ tracks...don't bother. I tested the splitter on a wireless RB2 kit and it works so-so. The pedals do work independently and "slower" double kick parts are picked up fine. When the action gets fast, though, the splitter just can't handle the volume of hits and all that registers in game are occasional beats, maybe 1/6 or so notes during a fast double bass section. This of course means you will fail the song rapidly. That is on a normal RB2 wireless kit, which this product claims to support. On my Drum Rocker it works even less well. The splitter simply doesn't work for anything beyond a very slow alternating beat--at a rate you could play with one pedal just fine, thus rendering this set up useless. Note: My brother also purchased one of these recently and has experienced the same results so the problem is unlikely to be a defective splitter--The product just seems to be junk. |
