have you tried the dw 9002s yrself?? if not dont make the change yet. but IMO i would have dw9000s over iron cobras anytime.but thats just what i think and what i feel.suits the music i play..jazz,blues,funk,acid jazz,gospel,progressive sometimes..plus the dw9000s are very expensive in my country.
but i've always been using yamaha pedals because i feel they're like the dark horse of all pedals.offers a fantastic direct drive,is known to be incredibly durable and smooth.not as much adjustments possible compared to dw9000 or pearl elimns but i feel too much adjustments are bad...the more gears and hinges and screws yu got the more maintenance and risk of things jamming up or breaking possible.
