The Iron Cobra continues to evolve! TAMA’s innovative Cobra Coil pedal spring accelerates the return of the footboard to its original position. The result is unbelievably effortless action that sets the already smooth Iron Cobra apart from all other pedals on the market. The Cobra Coil is a standard feature on all Iron Cobra models.
Power Glide off-set cam pedals are typically chosen by players who want steady, powerful, and speedy action.
Tama Iron Cobra Power Glide Single Pedal w/ Case HP900PSN Features:
Power Glide Cam – The Power Glide features a double-chained offset cam which increases power and speed as the beater reaches the end of the stroke.
Pedal Housing – This new housing puts less stress on the bearings to make for a much smoother bearing motion.
Oiles Bearing Hinge – To reinforce durability, the Iron Cobra 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.
Iron Cobra Beater – The Iron Cobra beater adjusts the beater head angle to guarantee a flat hit to the bass drum head every time, translating your strike into maximum power. In addition, it’s easy to obtain different bass drum sounds simply by changing the beater head.
Para-Clamp II – Para-Clamp keeps your pedal flat on the floor no matter what your bass drum angle. The Para-Clamp is tightened from the side so you never have to insert your finger under the footboard. And since you can clamp your pedal to hoops up to 14mm (9/16″) in thickness, Iron Cobra will fit just about any bass drum in the market.
Cobra Coil – 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 Coil 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 Coil is adjustable to different positions on the Iron Cobra footboard base plate.
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. The Quick-Hook not only allows for easy setup and tear-down but also streamlines the pedal, allowing quick stowaway in the hard case without removing the beater.
Spring Tight – Twisting springs severely reduce pedal smoothness. Spring Tight, a clever half-moon shaped spring tension rod, keeps the spring from twisting so there’s never any loss of power.
Vari-Pitch Beater Holder – 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 offer a range of incremental adjustments that will satisfy any style.
Quick Hook – Quick-Hook not only allows rapid spring attachment and reattachment for rapid set up and tear down, it also eliminates wobbling and allows maximum power transmission to the Speedo-Ring. And you never have to worry about it slipping off during performance.
Carring Case – You know what pedals go through night after night. After being stomped on over and over, they get thrown into bags and road cases where there’s more hard rock and roll than in the gig itself. That’s why a precision instrument, like our Iron Cobra, comes with a specially designed protective carrying case.
