Thanks for sharing with us, some good advise to try out. Looking forward to seeing how it works for me

Great video

I liked the video. Straight to it, no hype, simple and quick. No mucking about. @1:19 where do you find that what you are talking about? Is silicone spray ok?

Great video man!

What did he say? Mouthful of marbles...or worse.

bought used power glide dbl... not bad only way to get pedals to swing together is to adjust the black plastic piece to a quicker response on master. that far right end also has a gap that emits squeaks. Will try PTEF... those springs under the pedal for rebound on the 900 seem worn out on the slave as well. The previous owner probably switched them around. Yanking and stretching all that and adding some tape and some guiding foam seems to help the spring from bending sideways. I have the springs pushed back to the heel all the way...Took some time setting this up hope it can take what I am going to deliver we'll see

Enjoyed watching that! Love that old key, nice find!

Pls suggest, should one remove the springs from the clamp after having finished playing. Asking if it makes the springs more durable. Thanks!

Great video. I enjoyed that thank you :)

Hi friend one to hobby from indonesia🇮🇩🤝👍🏻

Aren’t the bearings lubricant free or self lubricating ?

Do you know anything about why my secondary pedal is hitting the bottom of the frame?

the pads upon my beater heads are pretty well worn-do you think there is anyway I could get some replacement felts for the beaters on said pedal, or am I just urinating into on coming wind....?

A man lubing up his cobra. Brilliant.

The video is great, but my left pedal feels still a little bit heavier... I have the spring tension on max on both sides, I just can’t get it equal (speed of the beaters when I do the trick in the first clip). Does anybody have a solution for that? Thx :)

Watching in 2019

Still a brilliant video

I wouldnt suggest using Wd40. Go to your local Skate shop and get you a little bottle of Speed Cream for only about 5 bucks. Its a bearing lubricant that was created to keep skateboard bearings in the best possible condition they can be, to spin as fast and smoothly as they can while also getting rid of any chance of rust occuring or beoming a problem. which is what ive heard is a result of using wd40. And when i say that i dont mean If You Use Wd40 your shit is guaranteed to start to rust. Speed cream just targeted rusty bearings as being a part of a problem and made a lubricant which doesnt cause your shit to rust. Hope this is useful info. Oh and if you need new bearings. Rush Abec9 bearings come with their own little bottle of bearing lubricant included and usually go for about 20 US Moneys.

this tama brand must be such trash if it cost a few pennies to upgrade their garbage they were too cheap to do theirselves?

Thank you !

Awesome. Cheers!

Apologies for lack of activity on here and my East Yorkshire accent. I will be making some new videos regarding tuning and other tips and tricks

So the spring on the slave pedal is set tighter than the one one the master to achieve the same 'response' ?

If you want ultimate speed change the bearings in both pedals for bones Swiss skate bearings, no joke they're AWESOME

How did you make that practice pad? Thanks!

you see those orbs at 1:58?

My fucking master pedal feels like there's no tension at all even tho I have the thing as tight as possible. it sucks because my doubles are suffering because of the lack of rebound I get from a tight tension. kind of pissed. anyone know why?

thanks, going into record in 2 weeks now my pedal is in beast mode! grind time!

AHHH... exactly what I was looking for.. thanks for posting this.

Mirozenx I am your uncle O_O

Thank you, THANK YOU! the video at 3:52 solves the dreaded pedal click problem I and soooo many people have posted about on other forums...with no answers! You are a gentleman and a scholar!

Best pedal advice ever. Thank you!

Have any of you been successful at converting this pedal into a lefty version? I had one years ago and converted it but I'm not sure if the design has changed since then. Thanks for any help!!

what about the spring tension?

Can anyone please write all that he talked about, I did not understand british enough.

@fluffyabyss, weird, I've been using WD-40 on my cobras for 2+ years for countless gigs, cobras still run as good as the day I bought em. Best 250 I've ever spent.

thank you for this!!

do i have to oil the bearings that have grease??I mean the bearings from tghe back of the footboard

it has to be cause they don't have the Iron Cobra Double Bass Pedal.. I have Pearl Eliminator and that video gave me the right steps to keep my pedal clean and functional although it is not an Iron Cobra...so, that video is perfect, also for me thanks reddieseled

Where are the notches for the slave pedal to show you how you are adjusting the foot board and the beater angle.?????

Can you please tell me how you made your bass drum pad?

I have the pedals in this video of course, Tama Iron Cobra. In the video here, reddiesled demonstrates pushing the beaters into the head, then releasing them and they both then oscillate back and forth for many seconds. As far as I know, he's not using anything but the Iron Cobra drive shaft. I'm not saying my two pedals won't stay in sync, I'm saying my slave pedal beater won't oscillate at all once the pedal itself is connected to the drive shaft. It's OK with drive shaft only.

It's the drive shaft (the connection rod). The drive shaft affects the performance and the feel of the slave pedal. What pedals are you using btw? Again, if you want your slave pedal to be equal to the main pedal, get the Axis Universal Drive Shaft. That will solve your problem.

it's not actually lag, there's something causing friction so that the slave beater doesn't swing freely. without the slave pedal, the beater will swing back and forth a dozen or more times (but with the bar connected). then connect the pedal to the bar, try the same and it's 3 swings back and forth then the beater comes to a complete halt.

It's actually common. It's gotta do with the smoothness of the pedal & how the rod is made. I have a Speed Cobra and the slave lags a little compared to the main pedal. The ONLY pedal that has no lag on the slave pedal are the Axis pedals. Not sure about the Pearl Demon Drives though, they could be close to zero lag too.

Killer video. I did most of the adjustments except lubricant and my pedals are FAR better than they were, however I have one issue, something on the slave pedal is creating friction someplace. If I disconnect the "rod" from the left pedal, then by hand move the beaters to the bass drum and release, both beaters swing back and forth many times as in this video here, but if I then connect the pedal and do the same, the slave beater only moves two or three times then halts.

does the pedal make a BIG difference?

As im playing some fast beats,the left pedal falls off the connector(dunno how is called)need help now!
