Speed Cobra Artist's Response - John Tempesta 

trust me, you don't want them to be direct. the chain gives so much power and feeling, this is special on the speed cobra

I've tried these and they're fantastic!! I even convinced my friend to buy some and she would never go back to what she had

what a finesse ....

Lars Ulrich: Not on a Speed Cobra Artist's Response, Never on a Iron Cobra Review....Fails on his own signature snare drum demo

Honestly, he has the exact same setup I want later on, only the gong drum would be on the left.

@ACompetitiveHalo He had his left foot over the left kick pedal AND the hihat at the same time. I think he was "leading" with his left foot too, so he was playing 8th notes starting on the 1 with the left kick and hihat simultaneously and playing between those 8th notes with the right kick.

I have the money for them but I'm a lefty! When are they releasing the left footed versions anyone???

How the heck Every time I see John Tempesta I remember Renegade on drums.

awesome drummer

Omg... first eargasm. Ever.

@DannyDrumz trying a pedal in a drum store its a complete compromise.. sometimes the pedals feels heavier because of the position of the beaters and the spring tension.. when you try a pedal you need to ask to the seller that if you can adjust the pedals the way you like them.. that way you will know wich pedal works best for you (= i have an iron cobra and its completly kick ass but i have never tried the speed ones.. sorry for my bad english jajaja

I just got an Iron Cobra...I tried them both out, Speed cobra was only 10 dollars more but it felt heavier than the Iron cobra so I just got that, it's tough for me to decide which one to get

from the Ludwig "Speed King" pedal of the past to the now more resent Tama "Cobra Speed" pedal.

@zimd Im sure you can order one spec for it. I do know that pdp makes a lefty double bass pedal, im right foot, but to be honest, i rather spend a little extra money for a double kick drum, and just throw dbl bass pedals out the window all together. It seems no matter what pedal i get on, there is always lag, and i spend more time adjusting the stupid bars, and length, than actually playing. I learned to play drums on a single kick pedal, and learned double and triple rolls with a single pedal.

The foot board moves a lot at the heel part and makes noise.

hey does anyone know the measurements of the beater shaft?

tempesta is an awesome drummer

do those shoes come with the pedal as well?

@inlight21 the kick doesn't have enough attack..it's too muffled or boomy, needs more machine gun click.

Does anybody know if this pedal comes with it's own case if you buy it through guitar center?

how is he playing with the hi hats opening and closing, yet doing double bass at the same time?

What a beast!

Dude, fuck the SpeedCobra, where can I get them Nike's? I keed, I keed. ;P

i got a hard plastic case which looks very much like a el. drill case wf my pedal, thts how tama pack their pedals

@aztasarg Actually no, he shouldn't. Any professional drummer or sound tech will tell you a kick should be tightened JUST far enough that the head isn't wrinkled. This ensures that you get the most appropriate and 'true' tone out of your kick.

I wear converse, Nike Cortez, and Adidas Gazelle. Cortez produces the slowest speed with sloppy control on my double taps. I do not recommend wearing Cortez while drumming. Converse or socks all the way.

His Snare Def Has A Tight Fat Sound

Has anyone tried his snare ?

I prefer long boards as well.

what nike is that??

Like as Dom Famularo playing :)

@aztasarg why, what happens?

@blica1 Yeah but the doubles have 2 times as more stuff/parts, and have more crap that can go wrong....So just think, if the double is that good, than the single should be even better.

for his pace he don't need the speedcobra

he should tighten the base drum head

@aztasarg Don't tell a professional drummer what to do with his drums, trust me, I learned the hard way

@Mp5Drummer always

@ACompetitiveHalo he has hit feet on both pedals...

@inlight21 IIRC he is playing a star classic bubinga.

his shoes are nike cortez

@kijkenify Agreed

@SnareMasta2011 Actually, his comment was from 9 months ago lol

john tempesta is using my fucking sneakers!!!

Why?

Preference of sound...

Send me one.

Speed cobra artist response : Chuck Testa :)

This isn't John Tempesta it's Eric Bana.

Sounds like my kit, except for the bass drum.

how about showing drummers that don't play double kick pedals, and have them demonstrate on the single pedal as well.??..it almost seems as if Tama is targeting the metal genre and nothing else... ...not fair...

@aztasarg Specially when you can't spell "Bass" right and it sounds perfect.

1:48 hmmm,lol

@Xeklan In Mother Russia, shoe wear you!

definitivamente me he enamorado del speed cobra *^* igual del eliminator demon drive de pearl D:

eliminators, with a bit of tuning not so bad! but i wouldn't buy them again.

@TheBrownMan2112 dude those are some dirty Nike's hahahaha

@thedrummerdude777 Hell yeah man i agree!!! hahahaha

@SnareMasta2011 Ctrl+F is your friend.

@Chrisdrumz your wrong

@fullyAsianeric The speed cobra is lighter, faster , lower mass and more articulate than the over priced, over hyped demon drive.

@fjoesnisse What's fun about it??!

then i guess tama isn't your choice ;)

lol

right after you learn how to spell 'bass'

He plays the same thing over and over again👎
