TAMA Iron Cobra 600 Duo Glide Double Bass Drum Pedal - Dark Shadow Edition

The Iron Cobra 600 Duo Glide double bass drum pedal brings a limited Dark Shadow Edition finish to TAMA’s dual-pedal platform, combining a textured matte surface with the familiar feel of the Iron Cobra 600 series. The high-temperature baked coating creates a subtle patterned texture that adds grip underfoot while maintaining smooth, balanced motion across both footboards. A reversible Duo Glide cam allows quick switching between Rolling Glide and Power Glide responses, while a Speedo-Ring rocker cam with a built-in bearing and redesigned hinges help reduce friction and improve footboard precision. Built on a double chain drive derived from the Iron Cobra 900 series, the system delivers stable power transfer and controlled response across both pedals during extended playing.

Duo Glide Cam With Dual-Pedal Response Control

The Duo Glide cam allows both pedals to shift between two distinct response curves, giving players control over how each stroke feels underfoot. In Rolling Glide mode, the round cam provides a smooth, even motion that supports steady timing and consistent articulation. Switching to Power Glide introduces an offset shape that increases acceleration at the end of the stroke, adding weight and attack to each hit. This flexibility makes it easier to match the pedal to different playing styles, whether maintaining tight double patterns or driving more aggressive passages with added impact.

Low-Friction Motion With Stabilized Drive Design

The pedal’s motion is supported by a Speedo-Ring rocker cam that replaces traditional nylon components with a built-in ball bearing to reduce friction and keep the stroke fluid. TAMA’s spring system maintains consistent tension and return across both pedals, helping preserve balance and timing during extended playing. A redesigned hinge with a cylindrical brass sleeve reinforces durability while preserving smooth motion, and the rotating hoop clamp head adjusts to the angle of the bass drum hoop so the pedal stays flat on the floor during setup. Combined with the double chain drive, the Iron Cobra 600 Duo Glide's design delivers stable, accurate movement across both pedals.
