Tama HP310LW Speedcobra Double

I have used many double pedals over the years, I have used sonor, pearl, dw, ironcobra, I was using the sonor pedals until they let me down after 3 years of use, I bought some budget pedals to get me by for a time as I was short of money but these really were rubbish, they were ok for the first 6 months but after that they started to break during sessions more often than not, It was time for me to get another set of pedals and I chose the tama speedcobra after long consideration, I was on a budget and was looking for something that is built to last and would give me a fast pedal for some of the metal I play, I tried the mapex armoury pedals and the pearl pedals before eventually deciding to go with these as they seemed to offer build quality and reliability from a legendary manufacturer that has developed a product through experience, the action of these pedals is smooth and fast, they arrived perfectly setup and ready to use, unlike some pedals you get that arrive with the beaters not in line and need adjustment from the start, all the machined parts seem of high quality, and they seem to use good bearings for a nice fast response, they only down side is you don't get a case but I can hardly complain at this price point, I had a case with my old pedals that I will use but if you don't have one I would recommend getting a case for them if you are going to be gigging, I cannot fault thomann on the price of these they are by far the cheapest outlet I was able to find when you compare thomann £169 to others that started from £360, excellent value from thomann!!, and with free quick and efficient delivery, I cant complain, its deals like that that keep me coming back for more, keep up the great work guys!!

I bought the pedal a month ago in March of 2017. I previously used a budget pedal and now I know that pedal held me back in developement. By using Speedcobra now for one month all I can say I'm amazed!

I had to set up, practice and adjust the bass drum's head a couple of time to be able to play as I feel but now, after one month I can clearly say that Speedcobra worth every eurocent.

It's different than other pedals due to the longboard but it's true, Speedcobra is fast, accurate and comfy. Now just after one month I can play grooves, songs, technical patterns I previously couldn't with my old budget pedal. And it isn't just about the amount of time I spent on practicing. A good hardware really matters! Especially if it's Tama quality.

I recommend Speedcobra but keep in my mind that you should be patient for the first time because it feels a bit different than the conventional pedals. But once you get the feeling of it the reward is huge!

I ordered these a few months ago and thought I'd use them a little before giving a review, and cant say a bad thing about them, they feel great to play nice and lively without running away with you, good controllability, i think they look great, my only complaint is a lack of case but when they are priced like this I am not going to make that complaint, I could not beat thomann on the price as is so very often the way, but on this purchase the competitors fell short by hundruds not just a few quid, I have showed a few drummer pals of mine who have all been impressed with them and cant believe the price difference between thomann and their competitors, Thanks a lot thomann you have made me a very happy drummer with my new pedals, If you are reading this thinking of buying some for yourself I highly recommend you do, but maybe order a case too with some of the cash you are going to save thanks to thomann
