Speed Cobra’s smooth and stable action is based on the Iron Cobra’s prominent heritage and allows you to play every possible delicate nuance to create your own personal playing style.

Picking up where the popular Iron Cobra left off, the new pedal has taken up the challenge of improving - as its name suggests - pedal speed without loosing that all important power.

Tama has made the Speed Cobra foot board slightly longer than you'll find on the Iron Cobra. In doing so, Tama claims they have increased precision by reducing friction between your foot and the pedal, plus the board rapidly accelerates the power and speed of the beater stroke.

Another key tweak is the addition of the Fastball bearing. It was created based on the super accurate bearing used in pc hard drives, and ABS systems in automobiles among others.

The round shaped "LiteSprocket" should offer a natural feel and smooth action, according to Tama. Compared with Iron Cobra's sprocket, this version decreases its weight by 40%. It should provide a lighter feel.

According to Tama, the Cobra's Oiles offer greater durability than your average bearing hinges, thus reducing side-to-side movement. Similar technology is used by the aerospace industry.

Tama has also worked on boosting projection and resonance with its Projector Beater. The convex head shape focuses the power generated by the beater stroke's action to the smaller surface area. This angle gives you a more focused attack and punchy sonic penetration. Rotate the beater head for larger surface contact and get a fatter sound with extremely powerful volume.

Of course, Tama offers a double pedal version as well.

The pedals should be available around September.
