Im in the same boat. Have had DW9000s for years now and always felt like i could never get it setup the way i wanted it to be. Have never really had confidence in it. Picking up a set of these soon and trading the 9000s in. Good to hear you made the switch and love them!
Overall, very good and smooth performing pedals, both for practice and shows, response is great! I changed the driveshaft to Trick, the slave pedal is performing WAY better than the original Tama driveshaft, this is a bit weak spot unfortunately... It fits like a glove plus the Trick driveshaft is CNC cut (correct me if I'm wrong) and it has additional bearings on the driveshaft itself. I'm glad for the purchase, totally worth it.
Great detailed review. I like the camera view while you were playing the pedals on your kit with the snare drum removed. I’ve watched a bunch of pedal reviews on TH-cam and your the first I’ve seen that removed the snare with the First Person Camera View looking down at the pedal from the drum throne. That sir has earned you me as a subscriber. I am in the process of buying a new double bass pedal and the Speed Cobra 910 is a prime candidate in replacing my Mapex Black Armory P800 Double Pedal on my Roland Kd11 Electric Drum Kit. I play Death Metal, Deathcore, Thrash Metal, etc and looking for a pedal that has great control that responds to exactly what my feet are doing with no lag. I’ve been thinking of going for direct drive pedals from what I’ve heard they have the best response but the ones I want are pricey (Trick Dominators). Would you personally recommend the Tama 910’s for the style of music I play?
Thanks man, really glad you enjoyed the vid and appreciate you taking the time to subscribe and comment 🙏for your double pedal upgrade...(just a heads up I’m no authority on double kick playing at all) BUT the 910 is 100% worth checking into and trying out if you get the chance but sounds like you’d probably wanna check out the tama dyna sync direct drive double. A little pricier than the speed cobras but they’ve got buttery smooth response and are a joy to play! Both are huge upgrades on the P800 but if you are set on a decent DD double kick of any brand, just be ready to spend some pennies - they ain’t cheap 🤑hope that helps bro 👊🏻happy hunting
I have this exact pedal but for some odd reason the left pedal is too long and the pedal keeps hitting the bottom of it's range before the beater actually hits the drum, any suggestions? I have a rigged way that the chain for the left foot is shortened but I know it's not gonna last and I can't seem to find what's causing the problem. Beater height are the same, spring tension, the pedal is right up against where it clips to the bass drum but still is an issue. Any advice would help 🙏
Great informative video... Well done! I did notice that you were a bit bothered by the 2 beaters not lining up. Was that the wrong observation on my part or did you easily correct that? Im only asking because I have the same pedal you had, the DW 9000 double bass pedal which NEVER LINED UP properly. I dont want the same issue with this pedal. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video and it’s been helpful for you. RE The beaters lining up, it’s not really an issue with this pedal and much easier to setup once it’s actually attached to the kick! 👍
Thanks so much for this video dude. Been thinking about getting this pedal for a while now. All the other reviews on youtube are by music shops so you can never really trust if they are actually good or they are just trying to move product. I was going to get the 9000's but the fact you've said these are better, for half the price its a no brainer now. Really good, clear review. Thanks again 🤘
That’s great to hear man, im glad this helped you make your decision. I’ve not looked back since changing the 9000 out for the speed cobra. Hope you find it works for you as much as it has for me👊🏻If you’ve got the budget and like direct drive, the tama dyna sync is also a serious contender
I am looking into these pedals. I've played on a set Iron Cobras for the past 10 or more years and they've been great but it's time for an upgrade. What do you think these have over a regular pair of iron cobras and are the speed cobras okay for someone who doesn't really play fast double bass?
Tbh man, I’ve played the updated iron cobra (power glide) and obviously this speed cobra 910 and they’re both fantastic pedals! There’s not a whole lot between them in price or features so as unhelpful as it might sound, the ultimate advice would be to try both and see what feels better for you personally and is going to facilitate your musical requirements best. I’m no double pedal athlete by any stretch and never will be but the 910 just suited my playing style slightly better. Hope that helps, thanks for watching 👊🏻
Thanks mate, really appreciate it👊🏻It’s tough for me to suggest what pedal would be a better choice for you (especially as I’ve not played the Pearl P-2052C much, but I’ll just highlight some things to take into account. The speed cobra is longboard, the Pearl isn’t. That may be a deciding factor in itself. Price wise they’re quite similar, the tama SC coming in slightly cheaper. Best advice I can give is I highly recommend getting into a drum/music shop if you can and trying both side by side. Play whichever feels best and allows you to achieve what you’re going for.
:Lovely pedals.. Ive a 910 single, and I'm adjusting it to get the nicest 'setting' for me. Pedals aside a min... That's a glorious snare drum! It's a 'Dee Dub' right? what's the depth? Nice playing btw From Ireland, with love x
Yeah man, that snare’s a beauty! You’re spot on, she’s a DW 14x5 custom build and sounds unreal cranked! Still love my speed cobras but had to get myself a dyna sync single after trying my mates on a gig😮💨🤌cheers for the comment mate ! 🙏
@@brandonmackiedrums I was messing around with my single speed cobra today, but to be honest, I am looking else where. That DW snare is a real beaut! I am a cranked snare kinda guy. I have my 14x6 British Drum Co Raven cranked up and it’s stunning. I’m not a fan of the lower tuned snares. Cheers for replying my brother. God Bless you!
I’ve been playing double pedals since the early 90s and I detest DWs. They feel like wet sponges connected to sledge hammers! I’ve seen people play them well but for me they’re like a ball and chain! Love iron cobras!
Thanks man, appreciate the comment🙏I have played around with the setup a little since but in the end the only changes I’ve stuck with were some spring tension and beater angle adjustments - nothing major.
Does the slave pedal slide when hitting really hard cause I want speed cobras but right now I have dw 2000s and they slide a lot so I need something that’s sturdy
These will be sturdier than the dw 2000s. I’ve not had any major issues with the slave sliding so far, there’s also adjustable spurs to anchor it so depending on the type of surface you’re playing on and how hard you’re hitting - you should be safe
I still play my SC all the time but rarely gig with it as a double sadly. Made a few minor adjustments just to fine tune to my playing preferences but nothing major. Still love it, fantastic pedal!
8:15 that nightmare groove 🤘
that intro though...... *chef's kisses loudly*
Haha grazie🧑🍳🤌
I just got mine. Unboxed it and set it up watching your video🙏🏽
I bought the black version on Christmas Eve from my local shop. It is a well stocked shop and this pedal really stood out for me.

I got the 310 version..... really feeling that buyers remorse now
Update: I sold the 310 pedals 😆 For a Mapex Falcon double
Awesome. Leaning toward these pedals even more now! Thanks!
I ordered these, waiting for my delivery, upgrading from a set of Millennium double pedals, so im sure this will be a huge upgrade
Nice mate👍 that’s a big upgrade jump, the difference will be night and day for sure!
I'm gonna get the 310 version along with cobra coils. Hopefully they'll work just the same
Wow!!! Super exciting! We need more content! Love the POV!!!! SUBSCRIBED! BELL NOTIFICATIONS ON!!!!

uh, dude. Excellent foot control. You make it look easy using a double kick.
ahh thanks bro! Double pedal is a fairly recent introduction for me so really appreciate the kind words
Great video ! Just ordered one
Thanks Taaksh , hope you enjoy your new speed cobra - I’m sure you’ll love it!
@@brandonmackiedrums :-)
Great review , loved the demonstration 😊💥💥💥
I think I’m going to get to new all black version this weekend

Helpful video!
Thanks, glad you found it useful
I'm afraid to go long for the first time but want this
Your playing's great dude!
Thanks man🙏
how is the bass drum so.. not loud an bassy..? It sounds great.

Is this the 910 LWN model?
Wish it had a smooth foot board
This is the LWN version.. whats the difference with the LSW one?
Love it!

I need your recommendation please
What would you choose if you were me
Pearl p-2052c or these pedals?
+omg man you're amazing drummer

serious question
which better, tama iron cobra or speed cobra?
I’ve been playing double pedals since the early 90s and I detest DWs. They feel like wet sponges connected to sledge hammers!
I’ve seen people play them well but for me they’re like a ball and chain!
Love iron cobras!
Very good playing man. Enjoyable video. How do you have these setup now? Many adjustments since your initial go?
Thanks man, appreciate the comment🙏I have played around with the setup a little since but in the end the only changes I’ve stuck with were some spring tension and beater angle adjustments - nothing major.
Great intro
Had these but the heel plate moved on mine. And made too much clicking noises. Still a great pedal just wasn’t for me.
Does the slave pedal slide when hitting really hard cause I want speed cobras but right now I have dw 2000s and they slide a lot so I need something that’s sturdy
These will be sturdier than the dw 2000s. I’ve not had any major issues with the slave sliding so far, there’s also adjustable spurs to anchor it so depending on the type of surface you’re playing on and how hard you’re hitting - you should be safe
Do you still play your Tama speed cobra double bass pedal? I just bought one and I did watch your video. Did you do much adjusting?
I still play my SC all the time but rarely gig with it as a double sadly. Made a few minor adjustments just to fine tune to my playing preferences but nothing major. Still love it, fantastic pedal!
i have the same pedal! nice video
Any idea about tama iron cobra 200.???
It's been a year and haven't got a reply yet.. So lemme just reply to myself 😪
I see that slave pedal beater being uneven was driving you crazy! Lol!!! Great video. I’m getting today!!!!
Haha! Enjoy buddy, they’re amazing ! Total game changer
@@brandonmackiedrums well thought I was so had to order it instead
Why do you choose speedcobra over DYNA SYNC?
Lesley R. Just personal preference man, the Dyna Sync’s are great pedals to but the 910 speed cobra just felt right for me.
