Double pedal choices, need some input

**dgonzo2** · 02-26-2011, 08:25 PM

So I've decided to get another double pedal since my slave pedal broke =[(probably because it's one of those sound percussion ones for 100$). Right now i just use the single pedal since the slave is busted. It's ok, but i wanna upgrade.

I've had a couple of choices in mind (due to price) but i wanted to see what the forum has to say about em!

Tama Iron Cobra Jr.--- What's the difference between the jr vs. the sr?

and

Gibraltar Avenger II

I'm a heavy hitter and am wanting one that will hold up to a beating...at least for awhile.

If there are others I'm not aware about in the 100-200 price range please tell me :D.

If anyone has had any experiences with these, please share. Thanks!

Iron Cobras. But try them all. I'd seen a Big Dog double pedal a student of mine brought in, never seen them before, and was quite surprised. So keep an open mind, folks.

yah i have Iron cobras as well probably one of the best pedals i have used. I have the strap instead of the chain but i didnt really see much difference.

You know, you can put the cobra coil in the ICJ and have a pedal nearly identical to the IC

I have the Gibraltar Avenger II's and I can attest to their quality. I've had them a little over a year now and they are holding up just fine.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I can always count on this forum lol. Jordinson: So the only difference between the two is the cobra coil?

I'll probably purchase the iron cobra jr....and some new drum heads as well :D

The Iron Cobras are probably the most solid feeling pedals I have played. They felt like they could withstand an elephant playing them.

Received it on thursday and i gotta say... i love this thing! It's much more smoother and i can play much quicker :D. It also seems to be build to last as well. Wish i had a camera to post some pics haha

Not that you care anymore but I just went through deciding over the same to pedals. Went with the Gibraltar.

**markthechuck** · 03-07-2011, 07:40 AM

i have the iron cobra single, by far the best pedal i've ever used.

**Sonor1989d** · 03-18-2011, 03:03 PM

if you heavy hit i strongly recommend DW 8000 or 9000. also a good parts replacement warranty on them which i really liked
