The Tama Iron Cobra HP900RN Rolling Glide Bass Drum Pedal is a single bass drum pedal, with a dual chain, Power-Strike Cobra beater, wide footboard, rolling glide, and includes a hard case. The new Iron Cobra implements what Tama refer to as "Super Stabilization." This concept includes both a wider frame structure and wider under-plate, which bring two major benefits—greater optimization of the new Para-Clamp II Pro's hoop gripping power, and an overall stronger, more stable feeling pedal. These two factors help provide a solid base that facilitate improved technique and ultimately bring out the best in a player's performance.
From pianissimo to fortissimo, the Iron Cobra's newly developed Power-Strike Cobra Beater offers unmatched sonic power and projection throughout the entire dynamic spectrum. Intensive experimentation with different felt surface areas, shapes and densities, the distance from the shaft to beater-face, and overall weight and balance of the beater, enabled Tama to devise a beater head that delivers remarkably powerful, focused sound.
The offset shape of the original Power Glide cam provides TAMA’s signature pedal action, which increases the beater’s power and speed as it reaches the end of the stroke. With 40% less weight than our previous sprocket, the new Iron Cobra offers faster, smoother, more powerful performance than ever before. The Rolling Glide cam is a true round sprocket that provides smooth, consistent action throughout the entire course of the beater stroke. 40% lighter than Tama's previous cam, it gives the Iron Cobra a lighter yet more controllable feel.

This pedal is fantastic. Great feel. It's like it's part of my foot when I play. My bass pedaling is more accurate because of the feel of this pedal.
