Hey everyone! This is my first post on this forum. I'm a guitar player, and recordist mostly, but I am getting started playing drums. I bought my drumset mostly for recording purposes. I intern at a studio in Tennessee and the studio has no in-house instruments to work with, and many times the drumsets that bands bring in are not ready to be recorded, so I have been working on putting together my "studio" kit. I may make another thread in the drum section with some questions about the kit that I bought (Mapleworks Custom).
Anyway, today I picked up some Tama Iron Cobra Powerglide double pedals for only $75!!
There is a bit of play/latency/give in the driveshaft for the left pedal, but the tension of the springs and the way the pedal sits naturally seems to keep the driveshaft tight. My friend warned me to check for latency in the driveshaft, but this seems to be minimal because the pedals are very very smooth. He uses DW 9000s with a demon drive driveshaft and the left pedal on these Iron Cobras seem to be pretty much as responsive as the 9000s. The kid I bought the Cobras off of plays metal and I watched him absolutely cruise on the cobras that I was buying, which makes me believe that if I'm having trouble, it definitely is my fault not the pedal!
If the driveshaft wears out more over the next several years how can I get it replaced? I can't seem to find many of them online..
Here's a pic!
