  • Shoo I'm newb to drumming an I tried these at GC . Either the ones there were old or they were just dang heavy

  • I have a Iron Cobra double pedal and would like to know how to adjust the distance of the mallets from the head. Can you let me know???

    Thanks for your time.

  • where did you get yours and how much did it cost?

  • Comment removed

  • so informative! I am gonna buy it this evening, thanks to your information :).

  • can you change a iron cobra pedal to an a left handed pedal like yours?

  • i have a powerglide 900 and I HATE THE SHIT OUTTA IT! had I waited more, I could have bought a dw5000 but no I had to have this piece of shit, screeching as brand new, and falling apart within a year...

  • @ArpeekA oh and mine didn't feature the cobra coil and the driveshaft lost a stud about a month ago, so the cardan joint is coming apart. it began having a backlash after 1 month of use. the screws had to be replaced because the threads have been torn off(probably my fault, but since then the new screws(taken from old drumming equipment) are in place, and treated as the old ones previously. (i bought the pedals about 3 years ago.)

  • @ArpeekA You should contact TAMA, obviously you got a crap one, I have to say mine is perfect, no screeching, nothing coming lose. Contact TAMA and email them pictures etc.

  • @JAMMAN1701 made in china...what did I expect? but still, after 3 years of use, they won't even bother reacting to any contact attempts. but thanks for the advice. just for the record: I use a tama drumkit, I love tama stuff, this wretched pedal is the only exception :)

  • @whoever asked about how much the pedal costs..... It's somewhere around 400 dollars

  • I'm left handed, but i just found it easier to have the drums setup the normal way, with the hihat and snare on the left, and floor tom on the right, but I like hitting the hi- hat with my left hand, and snare with my right :) by the way, nice review, I think you should do the Tama Speed Cobra next! :-)

  • wt iz the cost of dis PEDAL ???

  • i gave this video a tums up :) 

  • Iron cobras or demon drive. what should i buy???????

  • Your accent made this video a hundred times more awesome! :)

  • .....a flashlight? wtf? of all things??

  • why did they provide a pocket flash light?

  • Great review. You answered a major question I had, not in the video but in your response to comments. Thank you. By the way, I really like your accent. You sound alot like Seamus on WWE. Cheers!

  • does the cobra coil come with all new iron cobra double pedals?

  • Dude.....which pedal is better ? Pearl's demon drive or iron cobra ??

  • y u no play faster?

  • Yes i will give the video a TUMS up!

  • Man i have a TAMA Iron Cobra Double Bass Drum Pedal and i clean it apart and i discalibrate it and it doesn't sound like the last time and i don't know what to do please help me man. ( sorry about the bad english i dont know to much jeje hope you help me)

  • I have an Iron Cobra single pedal. I wanna start playing double bass, so I was wondering if its possible to buy some kind of addon thing to clutch a new Iron Cobra single pedal to my existing one. I have seen it on other pedals like Axis. Is it possible or do I have to buy a whole new double pedal ?

  • Iron Cobras are the best chained pedals you can get

  • WOW! A pocket FLESHLIGHT!!! I MUST BUY THESE!!!

  • yo man. do you know the difference between power and rolling glide? buy you a guiness ;)

  • @Theo9559 The main difference is in the names bro, power has a harder stroke and rolling has a smoother stroke. Hope this helps :-) I'll have that pint now ;)

  • @JAMMAN1701 please could you do a review on the speed cobra?

  • @JAMMAN1701 Not quite, whist that is the end result, the difference is in the CAM, the powerglide Cam is offset and bows out so when the pedal comes down, it 'automatically' provides more power in to the drum head.

    Rolling Glide is just a traditional cam with an equal curve all the way round.

  • @JAMMAN1701 would you do a vid on the speed cobra?

  • I want one. In fact, I will most likely get one soon :j The only problem I can foresee is that it costs around $700-$800 in Australia ._. I've got bills to pay damn it!

  • I love mine. Great price too.

  • why is it backwards????????

  • How does the slave pedal compare to the main pedal in the sense of control? In other words does the slave pedal feel just as easy to control and use as the main pedal or do you have to push down a little harder to get it to hit the bass?

  • my band's drummer bought it today.. and its really amazing...

  • if youre planning to sell that... please tell me

  • im probably gonna get this... how much is it though?

  • a tums up? you want a tums up? ITS THUMBS MATE lol.

  • did you have to buy a lefty version or can you just set it up the other way round?

  • @alfiebonassward96 i had to buy a lefty version, you cant switch them round

  • @JAMMAN1701 Actually, u can just use the right one as the main one anyway because they both function like a normal pedal. Or just buy the righty vesion in the first place.

  • YES A LEFTY! Plus I bought this pedal as well

    :D

  • how much was it?

  • @deolse i found it 389 euros in thomann

  • That double pedal was so amazing!!

  • I HAD to like the video when "that's what she said" popped up...

  • What kind on iron cobra is it? HP900? please help me !!

  • Left handed drummers ftw!

  • your a lefty! what a leg

  • where me lucky charms!!!!!????

  • does the cobra coil really help?

  • @ruination866 yes

  • @ruination866 Its for very skilled fast double bass playing.

  • How the fuck can no one tell you're irish? It's extremely easy to tell.

  • Irish or not. .you guys gotta admit how helpful his videos are. and one quick tip from someone who owns an Iron Cobra Power Glide Double Bass pedal.. If something doesn't feel right, don't use it until u find out whats wrong and fix it.

    That should go for all pedals.. but it particularly sucks when you break your brand new Iron Cobra's...

  • EQUIPPED WITH.

  • "Tank you for watchin if you have question about anyting in this video leave a comment below and i get back to ya as soon as i can, please give this video a tooms up and subscribe!"

  • Toombs up xd

  • LOL "PLEASE GIVE THIS VIDEO TOUMMS UP" HAHAHA I LOVE UR ACCENT!!

  • A POCKET FLASHLIGHT!!! NO FREAKIN' WAY!!!

  • i seriously dont understand why so many people who watch this think hes american ... seriously its not even a remotely similar accent......

  • @ADGothicMaggot I think ppl just assume if you make YouTube vids ur American lol I've been told Im from Jamaica to lol

  • @JAMMAN1701 i know theres alot of american vids out there but i mean... the accent is fairly strong! i just cant understand what people are thinking! its hardly an unheard of place!

  • @JAMMAN1701 i dunno why people think that, your obviously irish

  • @JAMMAN1701 Jamaica?.... Fuck, are serious bro? If yes, i LMAO!

  • @ADGothicMaggot I could tell right away. WTF?

  • Thats shit!, i didnt get no fucking bonus pack!, you yanks are scum bags!.

  • @85Aheadstix I'm Irish and living in Ireland , The bonus packages do come out in other country's the release dates are just at different times.

  • @85Aheadstix um gee thanks ass hole he's from ireland why don't you look at what ur buying before u get pissed off at us "yanks" for getting bonus packs dick

  • @85Aheadstix OK, I'd like to say a few things if I may. Firstly, your grammar is appalling. You needn't follow up every exclamation mark with a comma or full stop. Secondly, you used a double negative. Therefore, in effect, what you were actually saying is "I did get a bonus package". And thirdly, it's rather amusing that someone from Australia is calling someone from Ireland (because that is where he is from) scum. You fucking jail breaker!

  • where did you buy the black pad for the double bass drum?

  • So here's de inseed of da box

    The most awesome accent ever.

  • THUMS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @JAMMAN1701 how long have you been playing drums and guitar? you sound solid on both instruments.

  • I'm so sick of bonus packages which are only available in america -.-

  • @snake006006 I'm Irish and living in Ireland friend, they do come out in other country's the release dates are just different sometimes

  • @JAMMAN1701 dude, this version isn't even now available here.

    but i see your point, so let me change my sentence.

    I'm so sick of bonus packages which are not available in my country ;) (germany)

  • 1 cool point for being a fellow Irishman, 1 more for being a drummer, and 10 for being left handed. Sir, I solute you!

  • it always increases the pedals performance when you decrease "the gap's" width

    I always shorten my to the minimum = less delay/travel of motion; it also makes it less 'swingier' 

  • how much fo the cobras

  • 4 people are DW fans

  • thanks for the advice overtone83, very appreiciative :)

  • Hey buddy, I have the iorn cobra double pedals but have been having trouble getting them to a setting I like. Do you know if I can get the cobra coils and install them on my pedals to improve them? I do not have the part number from my cobras but will take a look and see! Good info what beater heads do you like best?

  • Would you adivse this as a first double bass pedal? :)

  • @razamundo132 I advise that you get the Cobras.

    If you dont want to drop that kind of money get pdp.

  • Order it from where

  • I want some cymbals review's! :D

  • dude are you irish?

  • 1:26 before i forget XD

  • are these pedals good for the heal toe method anyone? i was planning on buying some second hand ones to develop my double bass speed and stuff

  • There is the drive shaft... Where do I put the V8 engine? XD Good review, It's a good pedal, I love it.

  • Please don't read me what is on the box... I can see it just fine. Keep in mind the beater head adjustment is not related to the IC pedal, you can buy the beaters/shaft w/o the pedal and get that adjustment. I do agree though, it is nice to have full contact with the BD head.

  • cobras ftw tums up if u agree

  • @rko123jja No thanks, i dont like tums. XD

  • @MaggotJJDrummer jamman loves a tums up

  • is that Jim Morrison on the right at min 5:00? XD

  • how can i make my pedal very very fast? only crank up the spring isnt good enough... i hope you can help me.

  • I still don't get what the flashlight is for...

  • how much is it?

    

  • I realized that my Iron Cobra double bass pedal doesnt have that red "P" on the pedals, mine says "Power Glide". Does that mean that mine is an older model/version? Because I got mine used from a local guy for $225. And also, my pedal doesn't have the cobra coil, is there any way to buy and install that to my pedal? It'd be really helpful if you answered me these questions, thanks.

  • @shadowforc30 You should be able to buy the cobra coils seperatly. If in doubt bring the pedal with u to a music store and ask them if u can get the cobra coil.

  • @shadowforc30

    Yes it means you have an older model (pre 2007). Check the top of the bearings; there are no screws on top. More importante there will be no holes in the baseplate so without drilling, the cobra coil won't fit. Then again, it works great without the coil so dont worry.

  • Want :(

  • Just recently got a used lefty power glide .Question ,i can't lock it down to my D.W.practice kit .The locking mechanisms won't tighten enough to secure it to the practice kits bass drum plate. It's much thinner then a bass drum hoop .Should there be a lock down nut that goes on the screw that pops through the plate between the two lock down devices where the bare screw pops through ?. Is the pedal missing something can't tell ?.

  • @TheChiFlows to be honest, i would have to take a look at the pedal to know if there was something missing from it, would help to see the bassdrum hoop also. There should be 2 silver screws for clamping it onto the bassdrum hoop. make sure ur twisting both screws to get the best clamp to the hoop

  • @TheChiFlows

    Just loossen the T-bold and tighten the nut at the paraclamb. Than tighten theT-Bolt again.

    It will clamb to a pice of paper.

  • I was thinking thats what she said and it popped up on the screen.

  • when you got these at first, did both pedals have about the same resistance on each pedal? cuz each pedal i buy every time the slave pedal has much more resistance than the master pedal, and it seemingly cant be adjusted.

    thanks.

  • where can i buy these online, where theyll ship to canada?

  • @TSMColby

    Try Musiciansfriend, google them, great online musical instrument store.

  • Can you split a double pedal into two singes? I have a double bass kit but I want the convenience of a double pedal when I need it...

    Thanks

  • @HaimeToroPath You cant do that with the Iron Cobras, The slave pedal needs to be connected to the master pedal to work. Research it because there maybe a company who do this :)

  • @JAMMAN1701 Ahh ok, thanks for the info! I need to research on pedals that can split, I know axis can, but I dont have a money tree.

  • @HaimeToroPath you can with yamaha pedals. my friend has one.

  • @HaimeToroPath Trick pedals do that.

  • god invented whiskey ta keep thee irish from ruling the world.god bless ireland!

  • PLEASE HELP!.do you think i should save up for this or the dw 5002??? the dw ones are about 280 and these 400. i am on a budget, can anyone suggest anything?? ( i am irish 2!!!)

  • @seanmacfitz I think they are worth saving up for my friend, but if you cannot afford them the DWs are a good pedal also

  • @JAMMAN1701 ha wow that was a fast reply .thanks!

  • tums up? lol jk

  • been wanting to get the Iron Cobras or DW 5000 series...can't decide...

  • @JustinSyn get DW 5000.

  • I am left handed and in my country only gets to right foot, you can configure both the left foot to right foot. Greetings from Venezuela ..!

  • @henotsuke I have never tried converting a right foot pedal to a left foot pedal so I am not sure if u can do this with the Iron cobra. I have heard of other brands where u can do this tho.

  • i'm waiting on mine...its gonna be fucking 4 days cause i live in VA and its being shipped from NV it feels like i am a five year old kid waiting on christmas...

  • @BearGrylIs Not long now! hope u enjoy it :)

  • im a lefty too!! how much were these pedals? why are lefty pedals so expensive, its soo annoying i got some pdp things and they are a load of shit! how good are these pedals for the heel toe technique?

  • @acdcjonnyboy It cost me about 397 Euros I dont know why they are more expensive, its prob cos they dont make as many? idk but it sucks!

  • ahoy mate u a airish matee!!!

  • @kre7708 Ahoy! Yes I'm Irish :)

  • eejj dude im lefthanded 2 but i wanna know how much a lefthanded pedal costs can you help me???

    -Cedric

  • can this guy even play well? that was some sloowww double bass you dont even get to see its true potential.

  • 1.24 - what a song :D

  • do wood bonus thingys make it louder?

  • @MMTPproductionz

    wood sounds better imo. but not louder.

  • "that's what she said" ..nice touch that! Can't understand people shhpendin' mad money on these fancy pants direct drive longboard pedals.. It's a loada aul feckin nyyonsense haigh! All ya need is them sexy iron cobras!!

  • I absolutely love your accent dude. Keep talking (:

  • are you Swedish?

  • @evry1luvsBS i think he's irish

  • @elmotouchesme97 i think hes canadian. XD

  • @JeffreyDrumpants def irish

  • @JeffreyDrumpants He's Irish

  • @evry1luvsBS Yeah irish, you can tell cause irish is more relaxed and casual while scottish is more 'accented'.

  • hi JAMMAN,

    just wanted to know have you ever tried the iron cobra flexi pedal?if so how are they and how much are they.

    pleease tell me as soon as possible

  • those pedals look awesome

    do you know how much do they cost?

  • i only buy it because i want the flashlight

  • im trying to decide between iron cobras or axis longboards...

  • @zysilveria47 depends on what you're playing. if you play really fast death metal and need to be able to play 16th notes at 250+ then probably the axis. iron cobra can go that fast too if you're god. iron cobras feel better and are much higher quality parts as i hear that the axis pedal's bearings wear out easily. iron cobra is really good for speed too, just listen to mike portnoy on avenged sevenfold's new album.

  • OMIGOD ITS COLLIN FARELL TALKING!

  • Ill give you a tumbs up for being a lefty lol

  • "When you want...screw this little guy right here"

    Thats what she said xD

  • lars doesnt play those

  • @mankepierdasss yeah he clearly does

  • @drumdemon3 the thing that beats the drums is not the same

  • @drda94 They both have the same features, just a different cam shape. The rolling glide is a round cam (as the name implies) so it's sort of the average pedal feel. The power glide's cam is angled or offset, this allows for a more powerful stroke.

    Thats just stating the basics. If you look into it online you may find out better info that what I said here.

    Hope this helps!

  • Comment removed

  • How much of an impact does the coil mak?

  • hey thnks dude! u think they have it at guitar center? nd how much did u get urs for?

  • This pedal looks awesome. And i don't know if this had already been asked, but can this also be set up for a right handed player setup?

  • @FamilyGuy12693 yeah, right handed will always be available with any setup, it's the most common configuration. if anything, i'd worry if anything would be left handed setup compatible.

  • i'm thinking about buying such one.

    but maybe I should buy the speed cobra.

    what should i do?

  • I've had my PG Cobra's for about 6 years and have never experienced a problem with the pedals. These pedals are HEAVY duty. I do about 70-80 shows a year on the road and they just hold up. I will say that the linkage has a lot more play in it and I've replaced the small tuning rods that hold the linkage to the pedal and to itself. Replaced with Allen bolts. I would like to try the Speed Cobra when it is available.

  • i dont think going to the 9000 is the best idea. ive played both. and personnaly iron cobra feels wayyy better. but its just my personal taste. go for whatever works best for you man.

  • i want this pedal

  • Great Video, I've certainly given it a tumbs up.

  • Does anyone know what's the difference between HP900P and HP900PSW?

  • Is it hard to play in slow tempo?

    I've bought the DW 4000 and it's like rubbish. I can't play with these pedals

  • do you think they are worth the money?

  • @llShadowXll7ll Best investment I ever made.  I went from Coda to these. Just installed them a few hours ago and they sound fucking amazing. I love them.

  • Does Lars play these?
