An incredibly smooth and stable pedal with a Power Glide cam and Super Stabilizer Design. This pedal is a workhorse and even includes a hardshell case!
Overview
One of the most celebrated and esteemed bass drum pedals in the world, Tama's Iron Cobra, has set the standard through dedication to three key principles: Smoothness, stability, and adjustability. After more than 20 years of constantly proving itself in service to numerous drummers worldwide, the Iron Cobra continues to evolve and lead the industry in quality, innovation, and design.
The Iron Cobra HP900PN Power Glide is a single kick drum pedal for the serious player. The pedal's solid foundation can be attributed to its Super Stabilizer design that incorporates a wider base plate and frame for absolute stability. At the pedal's heel, the specially designed 3-piece Hinge Guard Block provides a more durable hinge point and also lengthens the footboard for increased leverage.
At the heart of the Iron Cobra is the Power Glide cam, which has been upgraded to the lighter, smoother, more natural feeling "LiteSprocket" design. This am is an offset double-chained Rolling Glide cam, which accelerates the stroke powerfully as it travels toward the bass drum head. The Speedo-Ring rocker cam is yet another example of streamlining, eliminating spring friction with a high quality built-in ball bearing rocker. The Quick-Hook spring attachment eliminates wobbling, provides maximum power transmission to the Speedo-Ring, and helps facilitate quicker setup. To further improve speed and beater stroke action, the adjustable Cobra Coil spring-return constantly works to push the footboard back to… read more its original position, tightening the relationship between player's foot and the pedal.
Perhaps one of the most ingenious developments of the HP900PN is its Swivel Spring Tight tension locking mechanism, which are designed to rock or "swivel," allowing freer spring movement and a smoother overall feel. The smartly redesigned Power-Strike Cobra Beater provides a fatter, yet more focused sound and optimizes beater action for strong, precise impact. Finally, the Iron Cobra brings an end to makeshift methods of trying to protect the bass drum hoop: the Para-Clamp II Pro holds the pedal securely to the bass drum hoop without scratching it or slipping, thanks to an enlarged rubber padded clamp piece.

"Definite Upgrade From An Iron Cobra 600 Single Pedal"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This Iron Cobra 900 single bass pedal is an upgrade from my Iron Cobra 600 single pedal. And it's definitely an upgrade. The good:1) The structure of the 900 is tighter, thicker, and wider--thus more stable--than that of the 600. Plus, there's an attached drum key.2) The Swivel Spring Tight (US.PAT.NO.9236038) is especially brilliant, filling the lone bald spot in the 600's many (similar) adjustments.3) The hard plastic case is pretty cool.The bad:1) The Power-Strike beater head's flat felt striking surface absorbs so much energy that it's sluggish, despite the adjustable head angle. In comparison, the rounded felt striking surface of my 600's dual beater is more responsive, and the plastic side is even more responsive yet. Using the plastic side of the 600's dual beater with the 900 is amazingly responsive (I hope Tama makes a "Whatever"-Strike beater head with the striking surface rounded and made from the same plastic as the dual-beater's plastic side; I think it would be amazing).The silly:1) The Cobra Coil (US. PAT.NO.7408104) seems like a good idea but the laws of physics disagree. Sure, it helps the footboard to rebound but, because of friction and gravity, it takes slightly more effort to depress the footboard than the attendant rebound. Sadly, a gimmick.Overall:This is a super solid and stable single pedal with seemingly endless adjustments at an amazing price. As highly recommended as possible.
