A friend of mine has a 'Metallica' version of one of these systems, and it came with a double pedal.

I have barely played these game systems before, but I do play the drums (with a double bass pedal), and we played Metallica 'One' all the way through the first try with myself on the drums. It was seriously fun, and felt like we accomplished this thing as a team.

Learning the drums (and many other instruments) can be difficult when its just you, imagining the other parts or playing along with a recording. The greatest thing about these systems is how they allow you to 'perform' in an interactive way with the music you enjoy, so you're practicing rudiments with a band, of-sorts, and at your leisure.

To be fair, he is technically cheating.
I don't much care about the repositioning of things, but he's using a double-kick bass pedal.
If he can play this without that, then I'd be absolutely shocked.
Still impressive though.

I like the "One" rhythm near the end:)

QuadraPixel: If you still don't get the joke, go watch the Steve Vai one. Tell me you don't laugh looking at his serious face botching note after note on a doubleneck guitar.

The effect is to juxtapose the seriousness and fame of the performer with a terrible performance to comedic effect. Live footage works much better than videos, as evidenced by the Metallica one which was one of the least well done imo.

Parody's are supposed to make fun of the song, not chopping, changing notes and pitches and making it annoying to listen to. Weird Al is fun to listen to, but the above video makes me want to cut my self with sharp objects. For the un-informed, here is a cut of the real video:
