The Tama Speed Cobra is well known as one of the better pedals out there, but what about its little brother the 310?
Currently I am searching for a new bd pedal and wondering if the price difference is worth it.
Opinions?

played on one at Guitar Center definitely a smooth nice pedal. I have a regular Iron Cobra and I love it.
I got rid of my axis dbl pedals and bought the speed cobra dbl's, I like the speed cobra's much better. So I'd say yes the price difference is worth it, but that's just my opinion.
I've been playing Speed Cobras for a while now. I picked up the double after my old yamahas developed a squeak that I couldn't get rid of. I really like the speed cobras, but found the better wears down a little too fast. I've since chaned the beaters out to DWs. I like the little extra weight in the DW beater, and love how smooth the pedals are. I even bought a single for a backup, and to keep on my second set.
great pics Bish! I had my eyes on those for awhile..even bid on one from EB..but lost out..then I moved..the rest they say is history.
Enjoy the Music!

Thanks for all the replies, y'all.
I've definitely decided on the speed cobra.

You wont be disappointed.
I don't know why I seem to have an opinion on every question asked on this forum. But I'm bored right now, so . . . .
Do any of the major manufacturers make a bad pedal anymore? I go to GC and try out so much gear so often that the guys there just automatically hand me a pair of sticks and a drum key when I walk in. Honestly, I haven't played one pedal that I didn't think I could make work for me with a little adjustment.
But . . . the Iron Cobra always has that little "extra" that makes it shine. You will not regret your decision.
GeeDeeEmm
Has anyone else had any issue with the bearing for the slave side beater developing play on their speed cobra double pedal? When I detatch the spring, there is some play in the bearing. There is only minimal play in the bearing when the spring is holding tension on the beater. I'm a little concerned about the longevity of the bearing.
I have both the Speed Cobra Dbl. pedal and the DW 9002 Dbl. pedal. I like both, but I tend to use the DW more. Just my preference. The Speed Cobra is a nice pedal and still a good choice. Especially for the cost difference.
