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
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.)
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 Case
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 precision instruments like our Iron Cobras come with a specially
designed protective carrying case. It's amazing no one thought
of it before.
