Tama Iron Cobra Feedback Incarnate

Tama doesn’t create new bass drum pedals in a vacuum then try to peddle those pedals to players, telling them how awesome they are. They take a different approach: Tama lets their roster of world class drummers tell them exactly what they want, while they listen and learn. That determines what goes onto the drawing board and what comes off the production line. The Tama Iron Cobra bass drum pedal gives you what you want in a top quality unit that packs speed and power. Available as the HP900RS , or the double bass pedal HP900RSW, they feature the “cobra coil” spring that bounces the footboard back with an immediacy that makes it very smooth and lightning quick. Slick playing is further enhanced with oiled bearings, the Speedo-ring with built-in ball bearings, and the Vari-Pitch beater angle adjustment control. Additional quality design features assure superior performance, and let you tailor the set up to the specifics of your style.

Drummers across the spectrum gave input on the Tama Iron Cobra, but alternative rockers, pop and jazz players will gravitate toward the smooth consistency exhibited here. Some heavier styles might produce wear and tear on the unit that will lead to early material failures, so if you are hard on your pedals consider looking elsewhere. If you need a solid, high quality pedal that will perform well with typical usage, this one’s worth checking out.
