Actually was planning on doing the butter knife. I picked up a pedal from your pedalmasters guy and also got a complimentary set of metal drumsticks to match. SWEET FREE STUFF. Good investment, $25 for a pedal and sticks. Thanks Bro,

I did the same exact thing as you guys. I first went through EA and got 2 replacement plastic pedals for free. By the 3rd time, I got a bit sick of worrying about breaking the stupid thing and having to wait longer for EA to get back to me with an RMA. Take it from someone who went through it and you can do 1 of 2 things. 1. Play softer so you don't put any pressure on the weak center point above the spring. 2. Go buy an aftermarket pedal that is solid metal or an authenticate bass drum pedal that has been converted to work with RB I opted for door #2 and after alot of searching found a site called http://www.pedalmasters.com and bought mine there. Why them? Most of the pedals were pretty close to the same, I didnt need or want to spend the extra $$$$ for a full blown pedal. Instead, pedalmasters had: 1. only one to offer different color selection ( I liked blue) 2. their price was the best $25 vs. $29 compared to the others Trust me, been there done that...

The way I fixed mine is to get a semi thin piece of aluminum, and I used a bunch of rivets to hold it in place. It's sturdy, has a bit of a bend to it, and can take a lot of stomping.

I’ve been trying to find a way to DIY my pedal by attaching a metal pad on the pedal to reinforce the whole thing but I’m not much of a handy man.
