Members Danny_CKone Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 The double pedal fight! My drummer is gonna buy one of this pedals...but he dont know if he must choose the Tama or the Pearl. Pearl Eliminator P2002BTama Iron Cobra HP900FTW Flexi Glide (or the other 2 chain cobras) Who do you prefer and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tangman Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 IRON COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I tested both out and personally prefered the Cobra. I think its smoother, more ergonomic and I think its better value (Free Hardcase). Its generally a really good pedal and I love mine, I have only ever heard good things about it. I use the Powerglide Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Picker Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 I haven't tried both pedals so I can't make a good comparison, but I must say I am a huge fan of Tama hardware. I do love my Iron Cobra HH stand.... smooth and solid...:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StoufferTheCat Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 I've never used either of these pedals, therefore have no valid opinion on the matter. Good day to you sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snake Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 Iron Cobra because it's a f*ckin' TANK but at the same time it's smooth as silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Morningrise Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 I tried both of those, but personally, I went with the DW 5002 Accelerator. It just felt far more responsive and comfortable to me. So, your drummer might want to look at that one, too. (Granted, it's going to be closer to $330 rather than the $270 for the Tama or Pearl pedal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members without skill Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 the Iron Cobra with the kevlar straps instead of chains is prolly the coolest pedal I've ever felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drmrdude Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 I think its all just personal preference. All three of those pedals are very nice. They all have their advantages/disadvantages. I think the only way is for YOU to go try them and see which one YOU like best. But in the end I don't think you can go wrong with anyone of them.

Members lordsatan666 Posted July 9, 2004 Members Share Posted July 9, 2004 Well out of all 3 Tama pedals (power, rolling, flexi glide) i prefer the flexi glide, its smoother and faster in my opinion. The only thing is that the straps will eventually break... like during a show!!! :mad: but then again the straps lasted 2 years for me... hope this helps.

Members Dark Slide Posted July 9, 2004 Members Share Posted July 9, 2004 In my opinion it's not even a fight. IC all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheBoatCanDream Posted July 9, 2004 Members Share Posted July 9, 2004 The only advantage of the Eliminator is that you can change the cams, and that it has heavier beaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Old Steve Posted July 9, 2004 Members Share Posted July 9, 2004 What about peanut butter? Crunchy or creamy? Both are great pedals, but only your own foot can make the decision for you. The interchangable cams on the Pearl are a cool concept, but my guess is that once you've got the one you like set up, you'd probably never change them, so the benefit is somewhat limited. I use an IC, but both are good. Go play 'em both blindfolded and get what feels best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ignited Posted July 9, 2004 Members Share Posted July 9, 2004 Originally posted by Snake Iron Cobra because it's a f*ckin' TANK but at the same time it's smooth as silk. Took the words right out of my mouth! You could toss that mother out of a moving car and it would still work like a charm. I owned the pearl eliminators before the iron cobras and after trying both I'd never use anything except Tama pedals because their sturdy and smooth at the same time. Same goes for their drums.

Members leepmeister Posted July 9, 2004 Members Share Posted July 9, 2004 I own the Eliminator, because I got it on sale for $200. However, the drummer in my band (I play bass more) got the Iron Cobra. The case is a big big bonus for gigging, and yes, it is a very smooth pedal. Either one can be set up to play remarkably well, but if they are going to be about the same price, go with the Cobra cuz you get the case. Plus it just has a cooler name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
