Speed Cobra Artist's Response - Peter Wildoer

[@Wildoerfaren]

Hey there! Thanks for watching the clip. Here's what I use in the clip: Tama Bubinga Elite drums 22" Kick, 10" Tom, 16" Floor tom Tama Bubinga Elite 12" Snare Meinl 14" Byzance Rock hihat Meinl 20" Benny Greb Sand ride Meinl 17" Mb10 Medium crash Meinl stack, Bottom 17" GenerationX China crash, Top 18" Byzance Flat china 6" Custom bell Cheers, Peter wildoer

[@olelorenzen9063]

Hey Peter. Is the Bell also from Meinl?

[@shirohigeD.Reigns]

Please what si The name of the Bell???????

[@1691jabp]

this guy is simply awesome, it's a shame i fairly recently learned of his existence (through the dream theater doumentary) and not earlier HE'S FANTASTIC

[@jakeEshades]

I thought I would play ludwig speedkings forever but in a pinch I got one of these Speedcobras and I love it. I still prefer the solid piece of metal over the chain, but it feels a lot like a speedking without any of the draw backs. Tama: Make one without a chain please!!!

[@ANALIMPALEMENT1]

Honestly, I don´t have a cool pedal like this, but I strongly belive that the motion, stamina, speed and musical advantadge is bringed by the practice and the capacity I don´t think the pedal is everything, maybe is a little help but the most important is the musician.

[@MATTlovesDRUMS]

what kind of cymbal is on the remote hihat by the ride?

[@BenMichalowicz]

I tried this at a drum center recently. I love the feel, but i would really save money up for a direct drive pedal, like a demon drive from pearl. Just my preference

[@uchiha260787]

Excuse me Peter Wildoer, how's the cymbal that you use as a bell on the left side called? And what series is it?

[@allmetaliswelcome]

@Wildoerfaren hey peter, what is the little bell you're playing on? by the way you did an awesome job at the DT audition!

[@andrewmagana8093]

Does anyone know what kind of snare he uses

[@SatanicBlasphemer666]

what song is that played a last?? I really wanna know! Somebody??

[@byronleon]

What's the cymbal on his very right?

[@benson1ification]

2:30 that fill was just perfect.

[@blackwash]

Maybe it's because I had the spring tension somewhat low but the Cobra Coil was bringing the footboard back faster than the beater, creating slack in the chain and causing a clunking/clicking feeling. And that's exactly why I thought the Coil is a bad idea. It would make way more sense on a direct drive pedal. I'm still going to experiment but I'll probably just remove the Coil. The Speed Cobra still feels really good without it anyway. I think the Cobra Coil is a pretty flawed idea.

[@allmetaliswelcome]

@VitRadek what you ment is metal drummers like meinl, i ment that meinl endorses a lot of metal drummers, and english isn't my first language either :)

[@poker26000]

r the songs played in the video by peter's band? sick pedel also! im a drummer and have been curious what pedal to buy and hearing a lot about the demon drive, speed cobra, iron cobra, etc guess videos like these r very helpful! ty for the video tama! =) btw i do play tama drums =p

[@mrjoshfryer]

whats his stack to the right of his kit ???

[@mapleleafer74]

sounds great man, i'm thinking to buy

[@adamlutton]

for those who are blind thats a china cymbal on a high hat stand and its just really tight, it makes it sound like a loud stack

[@Wildoerfaren]

@29dave Well I really enjoyed it! I love playing a "normal" kit. Cheers and Stay Metal! Peter Wildoer

[@bigrick666drum]

Haha this video made me buy one

[@MrJoeymagot]

fuck i want a smaller snare so bad... It just sounds way better than 14"...

[@nightmaressea]

what bell is that?

[@williampare5932]

I sent him 2 messages on facebook and I emailed Meinl to know. Still no answer... I'm eager to know what it is because as soon as I know, I will buy it!!!

[@the6ig6adwolf]

nightmaressea I'm going to guess that it's not made by Meinl. Since he's endorsed by them he can't really tell you about a product if it's not made by them. That might be why Peter and Meinl didn't respond to Facebook questions. The other possibility is that it was a prototype that was never in production.

[@Guds777]

I love my new Tama speed cobra, but Tama, mabey record your videos in 720p or maybe 1080p, that would be great.

[@abeerharoon6451]

Guds777 if you look at hannes video about the same pedal. you'll notice hannes' camera is the same in all of his videos. chances are, peter used his own video camera and sent it to Tama. cheers. this is about how the pedal sounds, not the vid quality

@Wildoerfaren I really love this video because I'm a bit of drum kit minimalist. This and sandride in this video make me happy somehow (even though I don't love metal drumming)

[@T-Hawkeyes]

I wish my Sand Ride sounded like his... 2:33 is the sound that unlocks time portals

[@Breachies]

1:05 What's that song played at ?

[@AlbinNilssonAlcaztrul]

He just used that setup for this review. The clip is about the pedals, not the size of his kit. Here's his actual kit: /watch?v=CJw-8kXBRjI or /watch?v=maTAFIsjjkA

@Wildoerfaren I listen to metal music, I just doesn't satisfy me to play it :D I totally agree with you, I have to force myself to be creative plus I would find anything more than I currently have on my setup (I use 14" and 10" snares, 10" tom and 14" floor tom) useless for me... By the way I really like the sound of your bell, I wish I could find one that sounds like that..

[@Mp5Drummer]

@chilly2829 It's because it's a stack, he's got another cymbal underneath, otherwise he'd have it on a normal stand :P

[@molomono]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls Mike's input was more technically advanced, but that doesn't mean their better. The way Marco was accenting his groves was 100% in the context of the song, yet it gave simple groves much more depth. They're 2 sides of the same coin I don't think they showed enough of marco riffing with the band, but judging from the little bits in between the playing sessions where marco is just having fun with Petrucci playing stuff, the chemistry is right, and the groves feel just right.

@DillworthDrummer I see the combination of Meinl and Sonor with german drummers. Weird, huh? Otherwise I see Tamas with Sabians or Paiste cymbals more often... (However between metal drummers Meinl seems to be very popular)

[@wiirluvenit]

@blackwash I thought the cobra coil was an awesome idea, until I got my pedals this morning and noticed how flimsy they are.

[@85Aheadstix]

wiirluvenit Flimsy? i love the cobra coils, how are they flimsy???

[@AdityaBudi]

how did you learn those english accents?

[@85Aheadstix]

Aditya Budi He's Norwegian, English is a second language.

[@molomono]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls Marco would have been more interesting, but Mike was the only drummer who had the same level of experience as the rest of dream theater. I think that's the reason they chose him. Probably also a good idea, especially during live shows. Honestly i like Marco more though, i thought his input in the jams was the most interesting of everyone who tried out.

[@Michael_Michaels]

1:50 the guy interrupted a perfect groove! Fucking hell!!!!

[@Wildoerfaren]

@VitRadek Cool you like the video. Yeah, a smaller kit sometimes forces you to be creative in different ways. At least for me who is used to bigger kits. :-) Perhaps this is an introduction to metal music, ha ha ha... ;-) Cheers, Peter

[@jamtime09]

What is better? The Iron Cobra or the Speed Cobra?

[@85Aheadstix]

jamtime09 I tried the Speed and didn't like the long board feel. I've got the flexi- glide Iron cobra. very smooth.

@allmetaliswelcome It's right either way, Meinl makes Mb20 line which metal drummers love (personal references from some friends)

[@TheBandsPage]

The Fact that hes getting the speed without triggers should be impressive enough. Its just poor mixing and micing. He Doesn't need the triggers. Hes Peter Fucking Wildoer

[@SuperUltra]

@blackwash Do you go to every Speed Cobra video and copy paste this? Are you really THAT annoyed that you have to let your concerns and voice be heard?

[@Wildoerfaren]

@Gigarada Yeah, ain't it lovely?! ;-) Cheers Peter Wildoer

[@superkadeemx]

Damn man idk what to get, a dw 9002 or tama speed cobras

[@houseshoesbto]

under his name it should of read darkane, james laBrie, dream theater

[@enboomer]

Awesome stuff :)

[@SuperUltra]

@mafr0o Doesn't look like it's stacked on anything. I've seen cymbals stacked on normal stands, though.

[@polarnightaudio]

holy s**t i love the sand ride!

[@29dave]

Death metal on a four-piece kit FTW

[@Rollin_Heavy_Steel]

@superkadeemx speed cobra all the way

[@TheMochisanable]

Inspiredire for Me..for setup Drums

[@SuperUltra]

Is it just me or is the China on a hi-hat stand...?

[@indieHindleyMusic]

@risingskater looks like a stack to me, or it could be the cymbals line of a chinese cymbals i dont know i play sabian not meinl

@allmetaliswelcome Who knows? :D You're right, I can't see how I said something different (but it's possible, english is my second language)

[@Michael_Michaels]

Excellent! xD

[@allmetaliswelcome]

@VitRadek i think metal is popular with meinl, not the other way around :)

[@houseshoesbto]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls its true i just think he's a little bit underlooked

[@Sp0ntanius]

awesome vid tama!

@superkadeemx Get a Falcon :D

[@AlbinNilssonAlcaztrul]

It's a stack.. :P

[@realsit]

This guy says easier a lot. 0:20 0:46 1:52

[@joshuachan56]

@jamtime09 Definitely Speed Cobra.

[@prahlad64]

nice\;;/

[@molomono]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls You don't even acknowledge my opinion in stating that marco has a more interesting input. It's my opinion. Not to mention you repeat the same argumentation, Mangini has more experience than Marco. I just liked Marco's style more, but he lacks experience which Mangini did not. Which is why i think Mangini is a better more secure choice for an already highly respected band such as DT.

[@losersseekhelp]

@zackattack94 what u want em to do stupid pedal tricks? lol

[@sixsixsixchild]

Peter Will Do Her ... hehe

[@zegur21]

wouldve been better with dave lombardo

[@MarioSaidWhat]

Its a stack.

[@sohaib785]

his drumkit's tiny! none the less a great drummer!!

[@Michael_Michaels]

It's about time for him to upgrade his kit to a bigger one, with double bass!

[@GladFyr41]

@Hammy0924 Jason Costa might be cool, but he can't do half of what Peter can.

[@jaqbas93]

wtf with this china?

[@minkusink6]

how about you get better at the pedal than get a clip of you playing something cool
