Tama 900 Series Iron Cobra Power Glide Twin Kick Drum Pedal

The Tama 900 Series Iron Cobra Power Glide Twin Kick Drum Pedal strongly supports both the artistic and logistical requirements associated with the art of drumming. Since its inception, smooth, effortless performance and unparalleled response have been hallmarks of the Iron Cobra

Pedal Anchor

To keep left-side double pedals from walking, a special stabilizer is mounted to the outside frame. This augments the stability of the floor anchor bolts.

Power Glide LiteSprocket

The offset shape of the original Power Glide cam provides Tama's signature pedal action, which increases the beater's power and speed as it reaches the end of the stroke. With 40% less weight than our previous sprocket, the new Iron Cobra offers faster, smoother, more powerful performance than ever before.

Cobra Loop

Until now, the only way to adjust your beater stroke action was to tighten the pedal spring. The unfortunate result? Heavy, sluggish action. The Cobra Loop solves the problem by adding a steel return spring. The return spring constantly presses the footboard to its original position, tightening the relationship between foot and pedal. Even better, the Cobra Loop is adjustable to different positions on the Iron Cobra footboard base plate.

Power-Strike Cobra Beater

The latest version of Iron Cobra features a smaller diameter but thicker beater head. It is a combination that delivers more attacks than previous designs. Also, the distance between the beater head's face and the shaft has been increased. Drummers found this alteration improved their sense of control during faster passages.

Swivel Spring Tight 

The conventional approach to the spring assembly has been to anchor the bottom of the spring while the top of the spring is being pulled from various angles throughout the pedal's cycle. But a spring being pulled on at an angle represents wasted energy and causes turbulence.

Hinge Guard Block

The construction of the Bearing Hinge on the footplate is changed from a one-piece assembly to two pieces, which holds the bearing more evenly, it minimizes stress, and maximizes smoothness while adding to the pedal's sense of power.

Oiles Bearing Hinge

To reinforce durability, the Iron Cobra 900 Series features a thicker 6 mm diameter shaft. Oiles bearings create far less friction than standard ball bearings. They also eliminate unwanted side-to-side motion while providing superior durability. (Oiles bearings is a registered trademark of the Oiles Co., Ltd.)

Vari-Pitch Beater Holder

The Vari-Pitch beater angle adjustments are completely independent of the footboard angle. The Speedo-Ring allows you to adjust the angle of the footboard link independently of the beater angle. The combination of the Speedo-Ring and the Vari-Pitch offers a range of incremental adjustments that will satisfy any style.

Speedo-Ring

Tama eliminated another source of friction by replacing the traditional nylon rocker cam with the Speedo-Ring, a rocker cam with a high-quality built-in ball-bearing rocker.

Quick-Hook

Quick-Hook not only allows rapid spring attachment and reattachment for rapid set up and tear down, but it also eliminates wobbling and allows maximum power transmission to the Speedo-Ring. And you never have to worry about it slipping off during the performance.

Carrying Cases

You know what pedals go through night after night. After being stomped on over and over, they get thrown in bags and road cases where there's more hard rock and roll than the gig itself. That's why precision instruments like our Iron Cobras come with a specially designed protective carrying case. It's amazing no one thought of it before.

Para-Clamp II Pro

Tama now introduces Para-Clamp II -an even more clever and useful version of the popular original.
