Quick and quiet as a cobra.
Every adjustment drummers have ever wanted and many they've never even thought of is incorporated into the radical design of the Iron Cobra Power Glide Twin bass drum pedal.
The Power Glide features a double-chained offset cam that increases power and speed as the beater reaches the end of the stroke for dynamic live performances. It also offers the silence and sensitivity needed for professional studio recording. Includes case.
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.
Oiles bearing hinge: Iron Cobra footboards feature the same Oiles bearings used in the aerospace industry, not only providing even smoother action and durability than ball bearings, but also increasing Iron Cobra's stability by eliminating the annoying side-to-side motion found in many pedals.
Spring tight washer: 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 transmission.
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.
Vari pitch holder: Vari-Pitch beater angle adjustments are completely independent of footboard angle. The Speedo-Ring allows you to adjust the angle of the footboard link independently of the beater angle. And with the combination of the Speedo-Ring and the Vari-Pitch, you can achieve any kind of stroke and also enjoy improved playability.
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.
Tight lock: Tight Lock makes sure the beater shaft stays put. Tight Lock fixes and locks the square head bolt which fixes the beater shaft.
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.
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.
Connecting Rod: A new aluminum twin pedal connecting rod provides lighter weight and smoother action. The connecting bolts are now screwed into a new steel plate instead of directly into the connecting rod for greater durability and much easier and less expensive replacement.
Carrying cases: You know what pedals go through night after night. After being stomped on over and over, they get thrown in bags and roadcases where there's more hard rock and roll than the gig itself. That's why Tama Iron Cobras come with a specially designed protective carrying case.
Tama Iron Cobra Power Glide Twin Pedal Features:
- Tons of adjustment flexibility
- Super-quiet, super-smooth action
- Peerless durability

Great pedal
When I made the transition from single to double bass, I wanted something fast and reliable. That is exactly what I got.
The power glide really has a glide feel to your foot, and it's a smooth feeling.
I did have one problem with the pedal.... when going above around 200 bpm, the beaters start hitting your feet. However, with a little adjusting to the height, action, and distance from drum, this is no longer a problem.
Definitely worth it.

Fast, smooth, and durable. As good as it gets.
I have owned many pedals. Although this is my first double pedal, I have owned a DW 7000, a 5000, a Tama Cobra Jr., a Sonor giant step, a Pearl eliminator, and an ancient ludwig. This pedal stands far above the rest. The main reason I like it so much is because of how smooth and balanced the pedal flow is. This becomes very important as many of you already konw, when you need speed, you need balance and a clean glide. This pedal has a surprising power to it, and the features are all that you would ever really need plus some. I have only a single complain. My pedal becomes squeaky, so I have to oil it about every other week. That's it. This is a fantastic pedal used by many. Strongly recommend it.

Strong yet soft
The Iron Cobra is probably the most adjustable pedal on the market. I played for it for at least 5 hours before finding a sweet spot. And yes, thats a good thing. This pedal can suit any type of playing, from blazing fast metal to high-tempo pop tunes. Not only can you get it as smooth as you want, but it also feels strong under your foot, unlike the Axis or 9000 which feel like you have nothing under your feet. This pedal can also withstand a nuclear blast, recommended for gigging drummers.

Iron Cobra-- Great Pedal
I have owned my Iron Cobras for 3 months now and they havn't failed me yet. They have proven to be durable because I move and reset my drums once a week for my band. The hardcase that they come in hasn't cracked despite dropping it a few times. The pedals play very smoothly. The only slight problem I've had is playing something very fast and then abrubtly stopping or slowing down. The pedals tend to give me a few extra hits but nothing serious. I love this pedal!
