Double Base rockband drums

My brother plays drums on rock band and he gets leg cramps. I'm a guitarist but i thought that it would be nice to have a double base petal so you can switch legs if you get tired and for awesome effect. (its fun to show-off)...

The commercial version of this lets you press down on one peddle to hit a note even if the other one is still down. Are you able to do this with these or do you have to lift up one peddle before using the other?

There is a commercial 'circuit' that you can buy, or it comes with the new RB2 pedals packaged with the circuit. Or you can build your own like I did. I may post an instructable for it if I ever get the time and take some pics.
