HA HA !! You're gonna think I'm busting your chops, but I had EXACTLY the opposite feeling. I thought the IC was heavier, but that weight made for an increased impact in each stroke.i went with iron cobra. they felt lighter, faster, and more sensitive. i was sold when i saw the two hard cases. the dw makes you separate the two parts of the hex shaft, while the tama lets you keep your length settings.
They may have started the same, but now that I think about it they didn't, the DW had that godawful gigantic arrangement with the bent beater. I didn't even CONSIDER that P.O.S. What WERE they thinking??The Tama Iron Cobra and the DW5000 drum pedals are based off the same pedal, the Camco drum pedal. Camco was a drum company that Tama and DW purchased collaboratively in the 70's. The two pedals have the same configurations, just under different names. Some people like one and not the other and vise versa, but technically they were made to be the same.
thanks i im really leaning to the ic but i think the axis is too expensive but then again im like a foot size 13 so the long board would be handy i also have a tama kit so it would be nice having everything tama except my rack, i need some feedback please, any reviews about the pedals or comments.
i actually like the built,design, an look of the iron cobra but i haven't gotten a chance to try any of them only i old dw 5000 double which i felt it really slugish and i couldn't get much speed or rebound with it, but r axis really worth and im only beginning to learn how to double bass but i am foot size 13 so that brings us to the longboards
Which is drum pedal is better?
So you liked the Turbo, did you try it against the IC with the round sprocket, or the cam shaped sprocket. You might have given yourself a bad test if both pedals were not the same geometry.I like my DW 5000 Turbo. I tried the cobra and it worked well for me too. That said, it was the DW that came home with me. Key point is to spend some time and try both on an actual drum,
