The Tama Speed Cobra Bass Drum Pedal is an updated version of the original pedal that paved the way for Iron Cobra’s international success and popularity.
It compliments fast drumming styles by offering a highly comfortable action and response.
The Speed Cobra's new pedal-board hinge assembly and spring treatment illustrate, once again, TAMA's commitment to creating the fastest, lightest, most responsive pedal ever made.
As pedal play reaches top speeds, even a small amount of instability limits performance. This generation of Speed Cobra’s new wider frame, wider under-plate, and redesigned Para-Clamp II Pro hoop clamp combine to provide absolute stability and maximum playability. Even under less than ideal playing circumstances, these improvements bring noticeable support to your musical endeavours.
The incredibly fast, smooth action inherent in the Speed Cobra would all be for naught if we didn’t give equal care to the development of a beater head that delivers outstanding clarity, attack and tone. After testing numerous designs and varying materials, we arrived at something exceptional. The new Accu-Strike Cobra beater head is made using Butadiene rubber—known for its use in fabricating highly durable automobile tires. Narrower, yet thicker and more projectile-shaped than before, the Accu-Strike Cobra beater head far surpasses even our own expectations in achieving superior articulation, attack, tone and durability.
