I'm convinced Tama is the most user-friendly drum company, so many (innovation regarding) features to every product so that it really acts how you want it to. It's just crazy how nice Tama is
That shouldn’t be enough man...you have to try pedals out. The iron cobras are amazing but you have to find what works for you. Never play something just because a player you like uses it.
Hi, hope you can answer my questions. I'm someone who felt really comfortable with the previous cobra generation, the feel when I played it, was very, very light. If a Tama Pedal feels light when you play it, how is the new generation compared to the previous? Lighter, same, heavier?
+Rosalie Tabal Hmm. So most people would actually say that the old iron cobra was quite heavy and clumsy in the feel compared to other pedals.. But even though you think the old one is light I think you will like the new one. It just feels better. better response and a tiny bit lighter in feel in my opinion. but the power that the ironcobra is known for is of course the same. feels pretty much like the old one just improved a lot on all areas.
I'm new to drumming and had wanted to get the double pedal IC Jr's, aka 300 series, but found a 2nd-hand Rolling Glide 900 and oh my what an improvement over the stock Yamaha single pedal, single chain. It was the same price, so I went with the 900, even though I've only been playing like a week or so lol.
@@m.iqbal_akbar the dyna sync felt fantastic as a single pedal, lot of power and great feel. I felt that I couldn't get the slave pedal to feel close to the main pedal so that was a struggle. Iron cobras felt great out of the box, turned the tensioj up slightly and theyrr perfect
Hey TAMA, hope you redesign the Vari-Pitch Beater Holder. that is the only part of the pedal that breaks when you over tighten it... you could simply put a hinge on that Vari-Pitch Beater Holder and a groove inside the ring to make it grip... this is the only reason why I'm staying away with Tama Pedals, cause I broke that part before...
Just one question. Why isn't the hoop clamp centered under the pedal? It's offset right of center so I can't get my beaters centered on the bass drum. If you guys make this part after the fact I would buy it.
I have moved the beater position on my double pedal to the right to compensate and I have to tell you this pedal is amazing! The beaters now hit more in the center of the drum. The quickness, smoothness and feel of this pedal is better than any other I've tried.
@@kailiw.8462 I since switched to the pearl eliminator redline. Much faster, controlled and better feel imo. They have a side hoop clamp so the beaters hit where they should out of the box.
What did you get? it is advisable to test both to know which feel is better. shortboard feels different to a longboard and so its unique characteristics to each other.
My advice would be to save up your money a little bit more and get into a slightly higher price point of pedals. That way you'll have a pedal that will last for longer and will feel smoother, as well as having more adjustability options. Also I would recommend looking into buying used. I got a speed cobra 910 single for 80 dollars on eBay, and I don't think I'll ever need anything else.
I got the P-930 pedal too but I still prefered my stock pearl pedal which surprisingly is a downgrade. It just felt lighter and organic. I overlooked 3 things. Beater weight (The duobeater was heavy so the pedal felt more powerful at the same time heavier.) Footboard weight (the p930 footboard looks more rugged but its a bit heavier than a pearl roadshow pedal). The P930 longboard style doesn't suit my feet. It felt sluggish and heavy. I'm a short dude btw 5'4" Its kinda hard to adjust to but sometimes it feels good but it seems my feet get tired faster compared before. I also removed the orange cam because linear just felt more natural. Conclusion: Couldve just got the Pearl p2000c/redline so it would be more identical to my previous pedal which was a shortboard.
Anyone know why direct drive pedals are more expensive? Never played one but also don't know many drummers that have them. I see a Pearl Demon Direct for almost $900.
Those beaters don't look practical..Smaller surface area means less attack, warmth, and low end.. Tama had it nailed with their original IC beaters.. Everyone i spoke to at my local drum shop says that customers that have purchased this pedal for it's latest features, end up removing the new beaters and using their old ones..
I have this pedal (Iron Cobra 200), but assembly is very difficult. Instructions Tama provides is not very sufficient, and the square bolts will not budge with a tuning key as the manual says they will. Connecting the connecting rod to the second pedal is also going to require additional equipment (i.e. Allen Wrench) to set the pedal up. Tama could've done a better job with set-up instructions than they did. Construction is great though.

Dave plays them, that’s enough for me

manifestgtr No, that whodarestheman guy is a fucking tool.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer yeah you're right. my bad
I just got mine and played on them a little tonight and I'll say, without a doubt the best pedals I've ever put my feet to.
I was surprised by the improved feel and balans of the new iron cobra. I love it! Nice to see Sput on there :)

One of the best pedals on the market.
GJR2012 The BEST.
@@gamerdareswins2825 There is no 'THE BEST'
@@Chriswasreigns Wrong.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 than tell me the truth
I'm a Pearl man through and through but Tama pedals are unbeatable.
ba-dum tsss!
4:02 why Lombardo is crying? :'(
i have an iron cobra powerglide since 1999 !!!
Don't get cheap pedals. Buy these and you'll understand the power of the beast!
German Infante Sarge!!!
What if you get these for cheaps? I got a set of 910s for $129 used.
Had 9000s, got rid of them and bought dyna sync pedals, got rid of them within 3 months and "downgraded" to the iron cobras. Best pedals I've ever had
@@SJC9726 dude, i need your review. How does dyna sync compaed to Iron cobra?

It prevents the footboard from hitting the wingnut that tightens the clamp.

@@1manrcvids286 I can't say much since I've been using shit pedals for as long as I've been playing, I use a iron cobra 200 now and it's alright.
Kinda disappointing that there is no left footed version of the Cobra 600.
Great pedals, though.
should i get the HP600DTW IRON COBRA 600 or the PEARL DRUMS
DEMONATOR - P-932?

How about magnetic iron cobra bass pedal...
Anyone know why direct drive pedals are more expensive? Never played one but also don't know many drummers that have them. I see a Pearl Demon Direct for almost $900.
Probably because the precision parts of the direct drive are a lot more expensive than just slapping a chain on there
Speed cobra in black
Speed cobra is too light
Ho comprato uno Speed cobra 910 ma purtroppo e troppo leggero rispetto all IC 900....concordo con te.@@dcmastermindfirst9418
IS IT TAMA HP900RN Iron Cobra?
yes
YES!!!!
This a good pedal for metal drummers ?
It's good for everything.
@@patrickecraela8781 I think... OF COURSE YES! th-cam.com/video/DFQcVhRxNuM/w-d-xo.html

Rhythmista Agreed. I'm going to use the DW 2way beater. That beater is a monster
I've just recently bought 1 and I'm going2 change the beater also
i had iron cobras in 1999.. Hated the beaters. I always used round regular felt beaters.
I USE IRON COBRAS
I found the Speed Cobras way too heavy and uncomfortable with that extremely long board. This one is just the best of the best with Tama Pedals.

Instructions Tama provides is not very sufficient, and the square bolts will not budge with a tuning key as the manual says they will.

Derik S. This isn't a 200, that is their budget entry level.
Speed cobra is smoother and Iron cobra is little bit rough.
Iron cobra still feels better. Speed cobra feels too light
