Hey.

Does anybody know are default Tama speed cobra springs harder then 7H spring for classic cobra?

Thanks in advance
 
"harder". Not sure.

One is black, the other isn't,.
One is shorter than the other.
They are different springs.

Gauge wire used to make spring is likely the same. Length would affect tension as does screwing the adjustment.

Useless help, but hey. At least a made a small effort. 😅
 
Thanks a lot. My problem is about spring tension, I feel like default SC springs maximum tension is not enough. Just checked Pearl classic eliminator back in a days - tension was much harder.

Anyway I’ve ordered 7H springs - will check it soon on my SC. If it would be interesting I can share result of my little experiment in this thread:)

Number or coils will make a difference also. All things being the same, the spring with more coils has less tension or rate of return (in this kind of spring) as each coil does less work to return the spring to static.

I've often wondered if there is a rubber band equivalent.

I think there was a Premier pedal back in the 90's that used a rubber band thingy. It was their pedal that looked like it came out of a TRON movie. No clue what the name of it was.

With regards to the spring strength question, I think we would need to know its k constant for an accurate judge of its pull strength, but a drum company probably isn't going to provide/know that sort of thing about their springs.

I found one. Premier EDP. I've never seen this pedal:

Just looking at it, I kinda dig it. Looks like tons of adjustments, including a sliding footboard weight (I want this).

I was hoping it was blue like a Lightbike lol.

Oh, haha, I'm just interested in the sliding weight. That seems like it would fine tune the sweet spot.

Move it up for more power, move it back for more rebound?
 
I always wondered why some company didn't come out with a "variety pack" of pedal springs. Longer, shorter, higher tension, lower tension. I think those would be a big seller! Maybe I should patent this idea?
