  • is that music at the beginning?

  • @doeni2 Yes.

  • does the cobra coil go into any iron cobra pedal? if i were to buy a power glide used could i get a cobra coil for it?

  • @MrReedro1 Depends, if it was made after 2007, then it'd be compatible I believe, cobra coil is pointless though and it's all marketing.

  • on top of being a gnarly badass drummer this jon karel guy sounds like he could definitely make a couple of extra bucks on the side as a physics professor haha, he knows his shit!

  • 'Wood in your hand, wood on your pedals' haha

  • 3:32 to 5:17 he just talks BULLSHIT

  • Jon might be the coolest guy in the history of the world

  • I don't understand the idea of wanting the bass drum and toms to have a similar sound. It's false to say that everyone wants their toms and bass to sound consistent. Toms should have their own unique sound and feel. It adds more dynamics and opens up a lot of options in terms of musicality, but then again metal isn't much of a dynamic genre, at least when it comes to drumming. Very one dimensional. It seems as if they treat their drums like a machine rather than an instrument.

  • @tcslick420 It's pretty ignorant to say that metal isn't a diverse genre. Seeing as it has about a hundred sub genres. So far, only pornogrind is the only genre I've heard that always uses a drum machine.

  • He's using more of a flatfoot/swivel than a swivel/flatfoot. I hope that makes sense.

  • swivel! ftw

  • @omegasdoom so you use swivel technique when you play? i'd really like to learn more about that technique if you have the time to explain. thanks!

  • @penguinsauce87 yeah man! i have a video of my feet view on my page :)

  • @omegasdoom DAMN! i just watched it, you have amazing speed and endurance. keep it up!

  • @penguinsauce87 Just watch a george kollias vid!.

  • 4:42 -.-

  • it looks like he's useing the rolling glide when he is playing but the powerglide in his hand :S

  • my pedals have rusted, they do rust, i've played gigs with them and use them for practice, they do rust but i agree with the fact that there "road worthy"

  • my pedals have rusted they do i've played gigs with them and use them for practice, they do rust but i agree with the fact that there "road worthy"

  • does anyone know how to adjust the foot board height?

  • whats the song in the beggining?

  • @mcdrummonkey To Catch a Tiger- The #12 Looks Like You

  • Hi, I have the Tama Speed Cobras and I'm thinking about switching to Axis, I have no way to try Axis so I need to know if it would be worth it, your opinion would help, thanks.

  • @TheUndefined3 just spend hours developing your foot technique and it won't matter what pedals you're playing on!

  • @penguinsauce87 I have, practice is a given when playing a instrument, and it has paid off, but Axis seems to be a little bit better because of direct link. I actually should have asked about direct links in general, but Axis is made in U.S.A. and that was luring. Thank you for answering either way!

  • what song is that at the beginning? or is it just some kind of demo promo shit....

  • What the technique called that he's playing @ 0.59 ??

  • @Waxxy57 if your talking about the one handed drum roll thats called gravity blasting :D

  • @thegriningnumber12 Oh no, I wasn't talking about that, but thanks anyway cause I didn't know what the one handed drum roll was called either haha! But I was talking about the one just before the gravity blasting ;)

  • @Waxxy57i cant post links for some reson type in the number 12 looks like you drum lesson it should be the first one in this video he talks about a swivel technique for the double bass

  • @Waxxy57 type in the number 12 looks like u drum lesson (cant post links for some reson) it should be the first one and he talks of a swivle technique for the double bass

  • @Waxxy57 If you're asking about the hands, then it looks like hes just using fingers and then starts doing a push-pull..

  • Just picked up my rolling glide today :P

  • not only does jon karel have amazing technique, he's an amazing salesman as well lol. i know what the next pedals i get will be :D

  • i have played on this twice,old, without cobra coil, rolling glide.....and it was awesome ! so powerfull and smooth

  • hes playing rolling gliges, not powerglides hahah

  • LOL he said he uses power glide...than 2:46 he's using rolling glide. Hahaha liar. Iron Cobra still an amazing pedal!!!

  • what happened at @6:55?

  • JUST ORDERED MINE!!!!!!!

  • it looks like wen he puts his hand down on the pedal thats in his hand, both the beaters are moving, is this a different pedal?

  • lol you have wood on your hands and wood on the pedals?

  • ahahahahah he says that he's using the POWER GLIDE pedal, but at @2:46 you can notice how he's actually using the ROLLING GLIDE pedal!!! LOLOLOL anyway, he's a phenomenal drummer!! \m/,

  • doesnt he remind you of the dude of bad boys 2 at the start :L

  • Not only is Jon a fantastic drummer technique wise, he is probably the most expressive drummer I have heard in recent years.

  • direct drive can play fast . the pendulem has its own speed , hard to force it when playing , just get a demon drive

  • click the tama link in the description. It takes you to ibanez.com :P

  • thumbs down to anyone who has ever "helped" a drummer by grabbing their pedals by the fucking drive-shaft and plopped it down somewhere. shame on you.

  • I think mine's going to arrive tomorrow! (fingers crossed)

  • Thanks for a real world critique on kick pedals

    As a newvbie to the art of percussion you just answered questions that nobody dares to address. MUCH appreciated. The pendulum effect is ignored out of ignorance untill now

  • Iron Cobra...King of double bass pedals

  • @LewisTheDogue wrong

    

  • @mmiikkeesstteeeellee You're right!

  • @LewisTheDogue WRONG!!, speed cobra, KING of the double bass pedals ( and single) :D gotta love TAMA lol

  • @joeyjuniorjunior i cant be wrong dude!

    some people say dw 9000 is the bomb, others dont..Actually , Tama I.C. IS Thé first king of double pedals!

    Every self respecting drummer knows that!

  • @LewisTheDogue yeah, apparently there is lots of play in the u-joints on the drive shaft, and the slave beater always moves, ive tried it, and my old iron cobra and my speed cobra dont have and any problems and the speed cobra is alot fast than the DW9000 pedal, i actually have a speed cobra single pedal, my style changed alot, and i learnt heel-toe. TAMA is ace though right?

  • @joeyjuniorjunior Ok, i dunno what kind of style you play or what you do with the pedal, but me and my friends dont have any play on the Ic power gide.Just tighten the stuff up, and it holds up well.

    So you've had expierence with the speed cobra pedal?

    I've heard plenty times that the pedal is slow, hard strokes true, but heavy & slow.

    Whats your thought on that?

    I personnaly havent played the speed C's..so..

  • @LewisTheDogue no i meant there is play on the DW9000, i play like Aaron spears, tony royster jr, drummers like that. i have great expeirence with all TAMA pedals

  • @joeyjuniorjunior Oh ok, i thought you meant play on th e Tama IC!

  • @joeyjuniorjunior sorry ,..my bad!

  • I'm gonna get this BEAST next month :D

  • is it possible that i can buy cobra coils online for my New Tama iron cobra Jrs Double bass pedal ???

  • Guitar center is hell bent on me buying the speed cobra. fuck no let me get my iron cobra!

  • very good.

  • well spoken.

  • i hear "Given Life" being played in the background. :D

  • The song played is "To Catch A Tiger" off "Worse Than Alone" Album

  • @04cheetham i fucking love that album.

  • @15thDrummer I've had all three (flexi, power and rolling glide) pedals and they all have differences that you can tell while playing but they aren't that big of a difference. Rolling and Flexi glide's both have a more rounded cam that helps to keep speed and consistency. The power glides cam has an angle in it the makes the kick a little more powerful without sacrificing much speed at all (I don't even notice). The flexi glides (strap) are a little smoother in action. I play the power glides n

  • At my local drum store, there's a guy who walks in with his Axis longboards for his lesson. He brings them byhand, with no case. Everytime I see him now, My IC's in their nice case and his ALs in his hands, we just squint at eachother and wal our separate ways.

  • i was thinking of getting some tama iron cobras and i was deciding between power glide or rolling glide

    does any 1 know if the power glide makes any difference to the speed at all as its got a wierer cam im quessing it can effect the speed and accuracy Compared to the rolling glide

    so what would you guys surggest rolling glide or power glide my bets on the rolling at the moment :D?

  • You kinda look like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribean.

  • whats the song in the beginning ?

  • i honestly prefer the rolling cam, i compared the power and rolling one,

    and i developed much more precision and speed with the rolling cam

  • hey the message TIMECHOPS was from me and i saw the vid on the number 12 looks like you lesson and it was great thanks man

  • how is the left pedal moving when yuu push the pedal ???????

  • @MrFightingGoliath Magic stuff.

  • He says he's using Powerglide cams at 0:30 but you can see at 2:46 he's using Rollerglide cams. But it's a Powerglide in his hands.

  • @LooEeeGee Which is funny because one of the first things he talks about is the cam.

  • He says he's using Powerglide cams at 0:30 but you can see at 2:46 he's using Rollerglide cams.

  • I just love what he's saying. The not-triggering, the wood sound ... He obviously loves real sound and loves the Iron Cobra. It's like he's talking out of my mind. Good guy!

  • what song was on the start and end of this video called?

  • @xavieragummochy To Catch A Tiger...

  • @selubria thanks man

  • These or yamaha direct drive pedals?

  • @drummerhero4652 iron cobra all the way man

  • Now I want some Tama Iron Cobra pedals.

  • this is so damn awesome its making my balls hurt

    holy fuck bro

  • whats the name f the song during the beginning of the video

  • Does anyone know what the fil he plays on 0:18 is called and/or where I can find a instructional video of it?

  • @Olepej96 your hands do a 3 over 2 polyrhythm. your left does the 3 and your right does the 2. in between every stroke with the left hand, there are two bass drum strokes, making them groups of 3, converting the polyrhythm to 9 over 2.

  • The drum roll at 3:19 is it called anything special cause i want to learn it, but i can seem to get the sound to be like that?:P

  • @drumfr3k they are actually quintuplets. the pattern is RLRLK. or KRLRL. however you want to do it. i got drum lessons from him and he taught me that fill.

  • i'm without a doubt going to buy it

  • 4:42 ...  TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRR :D

  • 3:42 to 3:48 i wonder if that was a reference to the pearl demon drives? ;)

  • 7:46 & 7:48 & 7:52 <- just dont stop clickin it

  • Comment removed

  • is it me or does he look like syn gates from a7x

  • @andrewpoopoo he does a bit

  • This review alone made me go out and buy a pair of Iron Cobras, I recommend them highly, I got the power glides with wood beaters 5 out of 5 stars

  • so i am wondering where he sets the speed-o-ring gauge for the foot board angle setting he wants?

  • "Wood in your hand, and wood on your pedals"

  • How come he's using both pedals in the review? Only when it's super fast, he's using the rolling glides..... Are they faster?

  • @benson1ification hes holding the iron cobra power glide when hes talking. hes using a rolling glide when playing in the video, and as you can see, its a brand new pedal, along with the drums hes using because they still have the stock tama drum heads. so they just gave him a new set of pedals and drums to play in the review.

  • 4:37 the left beater looks like it's moving automatically by itself lol

  • @AlecBFlores yeh wtf?

  • @AlecBFlores it does it because the pedal isn't hooked up to a bass drum so it has play in the towers and as u push the footboard it moves the left beater as well as the right beater.

  • @drda94 i prefer Power Glide, and in a Spanish Store ther's an offer: 259€ double-edal (power Glide), only for power glide :D

  • @leerun01 who gives a fuck what he looks like he's a beast on those fucking drums. Ignorant people these days, i swear.

  • There's not one thing this guy says that I don't agree with.

  • Okay , I have a stupid question here. I have the iron cobra power glides and I was wondering if I could put axis sonic hammer beaters on the iron cobras! Is it possible ?

  • @Love4Drums1 Yes you can use the sonic hammers. I have used them in the iron cobras, but I thought they were too heavy so I cut the end off of the the piece that the beater heads are connected to about half way and that helped alot, however I also used the DW dual sided beaters with the plastic side and got more volume in my playing with those. Try a couple of things before you decide!!!

  • "Got wood in your hand" Great review though!! :D Probably gonna go for these

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • u look like bam margera

  • can someone help me? i cant seem to get that nearly 90 degree angle he has with his beaters and bass drum head. i have to go farther than that and its annoying cause it makes it harder to play. am i doing something wrong?

  • Jon really hit the nail on the head when talking about his views of direct drive pedals. I hate pedals that are TOO light, because it throws out any technique you have been working on and makes you start all over again because the feel is completely different. I have to have some throwback from the springs in order to create multiple strokes, just like a stick bouncing off of a drumhead. Jon is a beast, and quite different from other metal drummers. He has a unique approach, like a jazz drummer.

  • is it just me or does this guy look remarkably like syn gates?

  • @AntiPoserTillTheyDie i think i made that comment on this video like 4 months ago. hahahahh and yes he does.

  • Tama makes the best... everything

  • "your fills end up sounding kinda like

    VO grring VO grring VO grring

    or

    GEGE  GEGE GEGE

    and you don't get this nice clean

    DRRRRRDRRRRRRRDRRRRRRRDRRRRRR"

  • could you do a video to explain what your doing at the start i think its triplets

  • Best. Review. Ever.

  • WHAT IS THIS? An artist giving an interview about a product and not reading off of a teleprompter??!?!? THIS IS MADNESS!!!! MADNESS I SAY!!!!

  • i hope he is a billionaire .. fucking genius

  • he knows exactly what he's talking about

  • absolutely no snare to that snare lol...still great though

  • @BearGrylIs cause he's got the snare turned off??? It's not that much of a thinker..

  • @Musefan6732 last time i checked i didnt ask a fucking question its obvious its turned off thats why i said there was no snare, there was no need for you to be a smartass

  • @BearGrylIs you are both wrong his snare is just really tight you can hear it RIGHT when he hits it

  • DEAR VERTEFISH you have great limb technique and it has taken you time and effort to get it so sir I ask you to help me to help other drummers you know by sharing the link to my 2 part DRUMMER HEALTH VIDEO called

    "mark white steve white DRUMBEATSTROKE"

    I am ONLY interested in helping my fellow sticksman/woman as STROKE is the number 1 INCAPACITOR in the WEST and I [Mark White] have spent the last 2 years trying to give a HEADSUP to RHYTHMATIISTS while I am Paralysed 1H&1F- I PLAY .

  • tbh, he deserves a better band

  • I've tryied all three. I currently play the Flexi Drive. I like them all, but (funny enough) because of my playing style the powerglide is too loud for me. Haha.

  • He sold me .Now i have to try finding a good used lefty, Humm !..

  • i wish i didnt but now i want one

  • Wood beaters sound more articulate but they eat your drum heads. You have been warned.

  • WHEN DID DIEGO LUNA START PLAYING DRUMS? I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS.

  • OUTSTANDING feet and ILOVE the clarity in your ALTERNATE SINGLE STROKE FEET ROLLS UBER UBER HARD TO NAIL as I am trying to do the same but with one PEDAL& ONE HAND BUT I do it MUCH slower .I have a BIG IC but prefer the IC JR single chain

  • FUCK you!!! they do rust

  • I just purchased an Iron cobra double pedal and due to the para clamp you cannot put it so that both beaters hit it off center!

  • he seems nervous xD

  • LIKE!

  • uber uber

  • How do I adjust the tension? Im not quite sure yet. Thanks!

  • 5:40, me too! :D

  • What is the name of the song in the beginning ?

  • this guy reminds me synyster gates XD

  • just picked these up today! love them already! choose the power glide over the rolling glide for that added power at the end of the stroke.

  • @Greg676 same here, they are great. My guitar center only carries the power glide so that's what I got also. I have a question for you, did yours come with the interchangeable beaters? Because I read online that they did, but mine didn't......

  • @Grasshoppa065 I saw online that some packs did have the interchangeable beaters, and also came with a flashlight... that was back when the cobra coil was an option too... so it was the Bonus pack that came with the beaters, flashlight and cobra coil... now that the cobra coil is standard that bonus package is not available anymore... I was looking for it myself too lol

  • @Grasshoppa065 I highly recommend the wood beaters, they sound really great

  • whts the difference between tama iron cobra power glide and tama iron cobra rolling glide? both are double pedals

  • he's manifestly brilliant. 

  • 3:51

    No!Its an Axis!

  • Great interview. I agree with a lot with what he has to say about this pedal. :) Couldn't help but laugh because he said 'Wood in your hand". :P But in all seriousness, this pedal is epic, and a lot of drummer could learn a lot from having this.

  • hmm mine didnt come with the cobra coil, how do you get it??

  • @xtheasiansensationx don't worry about. The cobra coil doesn't do anything anyways. Think about it. If it's a chain drive pedal than the pedal is only going to lift itself as fast as the springs will let it, otherwise you will have slack in the chain. So the cobra coil doesn't do anything because your springs have to be tensioned high anyway.

  • @Grasshoppa065 Have you ever used them? My pedals feel different with the cobra coil on and off, and also where you position it. FAIL

  • @Mp5Drummer Did you say I fail??? Okay, this is simple physics. Yes, it does feel different, it actually creates more unnecessary tension. It won't push the pedal up any faster though, at least not to a degree where you would notice it. Also, the logic behind the cobra coil is so stupid, "Well you see, you have to tighten the springs so the footboard comes up faster, but that makes it hard to push down so we will add another spring (making it harder to press down) so you can loosen the otherone

  • @Grasshoppa065 Just saying, I find it easier to play with the Cobra Coil on, than tightening my springs. I was confused about it too cos of how the physics works, but then if you think about it, the springs have to do less work bringing the pedal board back up, because the cobra coil is doing some of that, more of the energy can go into pulling back the beater. It feels like that's what's going on. Anyway I prefer it with them, so I'm leaving my coils on :)

  • Nice shoes, omg

  • Does any of those drummers use iron cobras because they are good, or because they have to(tama as sponsor)?

  • @Villex93 yeah I have a friend who uses these pedals.

  • @Villex93 well you heard the guy lol XD

  • ok :P

  • The cam is what makes them diffrent because the rolling glide is just round and the power glide is round the goes flat to make some what of a 90 degree angle if you will

  • @JeremyJunior4352. It must be #1 of your observation because even if he like the rolling glide feel more on the slave peddle side it wouldent matter because the peddle will still be a power glide because the beaters are still on the master peddle not on the slave and master peddle and it's the cam that does it

  • 2:49 is rolling glide D:
