Pedal on a Pedestal

So let me fill you in on this one. I play my Rock Band drums hard. I stomp the pedal with authority and smack the drums pads like a rented mule. So it was only a matter of time before I broke my pedal...in half...in two different places. The foot plate and the actual base split in two. What else to do except take it to my local jeep fabrication garage and the rest is history. I've seen other bass pedal mods online but not anything close to this. 20 rivets and sheet metal make this look almost medieval. It works great and takes alot of abuse!
