After playing 2 songs on expert drums, I can say that unless you play with tennis shoes on, the fact that the screws aren't flush means you'll feel every kick. Specifically the two screws on the left.
Plus your pedal is completely torn up by the mounting screws. If something actually goes wrong with your pedal after installing this, you have to unscrew it and send it back to EA with 6 jagged holes in it definitely wear above and beyond normal.
PASS.
Gave it three stars since it works as advertised, but it's pretty ghetto. I'd buy a real pedal or just keep sending broken ones in. EA turns them around in like a week and it took 5 months for my first one to break.

This is an excellent addition (reinforcement) to your flimsly Rock Band plastic drum pedal. Easy to install and very durable. Pedal Metal shipped very quickly. For the most part, a great buy!I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because:
1) the screws aren't flush with the surface
2) this may not work depending on how badly your pedal is damaged. The description doesn't really say it's a fix for a broken pedal as much as it's a preventative... but it also makes one think it will fix a broken pedal, but then installation could be tricky (or impossible) depending on how your plastic is broken
3) after receiving it, I'm not sure the product itself is worth $15.00, but it does prevent (or maybe solves) a big problem with minimal effort and that in itself is worth $15.00. Better than paying $60.00 for a whole new kit.
And one more note, having nothing to do with this product, but the Rock Band drum pads have sensors which do wear out over time. I'm only including this here to save you the same frustration I went though.
You can buy ones online that work very well. Getting the pad open is a little tricky (closing it is even harder), but once open replacing the sensor is a snap and you're rockin' again. In fact, I think the replacement sensor is even better than the original, it's a little more sensitive and picks up quick successive hits better. I got mine from
Have you seen the kit for Guitar Hero World Tour? Can't wait... :)

My 17 year old attached it in less then 15 minutes.We took the pedal apart and he was able to line up

He's back enjoying his Rock drums again. Wonderful fix.
Honest reviews on Rock Band Bass Pedal Reinforcement - Pedal Metal
Im not too great at this review thing, but i wanted to do one for this product because it is such a wonderful little add on, i couldnt imagine my rock band set up without it. Me and my friends go all out with this rock band thing, we play in position and we rock as hard as we can with the toy peripherals, so naturally things have broken or bent badly with the group. I drum alot since its fun and i am a large guy, so my foot stresses that pedal like no other. It bent badly one day and i thought my drumiming days were over till i found this product. It came super fast, almost 4 days before it was estimated to be here, and the instructions were super easy. The added weight and texture are perfect and it really helps to know that when the pedal kicks get crazy that the pedal can hold up to it. Ive been stomping this thing for a few days now and it hasnt so much as hinted at any damage.
