Tama Iron Cobra 600 Single Bass Drum Pedal - Professional Drum Kit Accessory for Live Performances & Studio Recording

I've been drumming for 35 years and this is the first new pedal that I've bought outright. I've had used and pedals that are "included" but this one is so much better that the others. For one, it's nice and quiet in the studio which is one of the reasons I went looking to spend the cash on something new. My old pedal squeaked every once in a while and I never really noticed it out live, but in the studio is where it showed itself. I've always played Tama drums and come to appreciate what real drum manufacturers can do. I've tried others from DW, Pearl, etc. but they just seem too unnatural in their tonal quality. Even the studio tech was impressed with the natural tone I can get on my set so it was only instinctual that I get the matching hardware. This puts the old trick pedal to shame with it's response, ease of set up, and lack of extracurricular noises. This was long overdue and I'd buy it again.
