The Tama Iron Cobra is a bass drum pedal line made between 1992 and the present.
They are a full-baseplate, double chain or Kevlar strap drive, professional quality bass drum pedal used by many leading drummers.
This version had a more refined, curved footboard, updated branding and logo, and a black powder-coated finish.
The Cobra coil was a spring mounted beneath the footboard that was supposed to increase speed and responsiveness.
[2] In 2013, the third-generation pedals were joined by two new variants, the duo-glide, which allowed the cam shape to be altered,[3] and the Speed Cobra, a longboard version with a unique light sprocket cam, new fastball bearing type, and a different beater shape.
[6] Prominent drummers to use the pedal include Zach Hill, Dave Lombardo, Scott Travis, Joey Jordison, Mike Portnoy, Gavin Harrison, Stewart Copeland, Lars Ulrich, and Derrick Plourde.
