zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Incomparable sensitivity, lightning fast action, player friendly adjustments, and an absolutely noiseless design.
Overview
After setting a new standard with the Lever Glide hi-hat, Tama raised the bar with Iron Cobra hi-hats. Designed to be the perfect counterpart to Iron Cobra bass pedals, Iron Cobra hi-hats offer incomparable sensitivity, lightning fast action, player friendly adjustments, and an absolutely noiseless design.
The idea of replacing the traditional pull mechanism with a lever design was a genuinely revolutionary concept. Our Iron Cobra version uses roller bearings at the lever fulcrum for even smoother footboard action while a super-strong Kevlar strap connects the footboard and pull rod for even, noise-free action.
Footboard Angle Adjustment
Like Iron Cobra pedals, footboard angles on Iron Cobra hi-hats can be adjusted. You can perfectly match the angle between the hi-hat footboard and the slave-side footboard of your double pedal.
Non-Loosening Tension Rod (US PAT.NO.6075192)
Specially shaped plastic and metal nuts fit together perfectly to keep the cymbal rod from loosening while playing.
Spare-The-Rod-Tension Rod Protector
No more tension rods getting bent out of shape during transport! With Spare-The-Rod, you can save your tension rod the rigors of the road by packing it in the specially designed upper section pipe. It's a small, but very significant TAMA hardware innovation.
1.Insert the tension rod into the upper tube.
2.Hold the tension rod in place with the hi-hat clutch.
3.Done. The upper tube covers the tension rod.
Duo-spike (US PAT.NO.6031170)
It's called a stand… read more because it's not supposed to "walk"-and our Duo-Spike makes sure your Iron Cobra hi-hat stands in one place. You can easily switch from rubber to metal by using a standard drum key.
Dual Legs (US PAT.NO.5945616)
Our two-leg design is not only easier to set up in limited spaces, it's actually more secure than the standard three-leg design. The secret is in the small stabilizer under the footboard which effectively shifts the balance and strength of the stand toward the player. Since there's no steel plate under the footboard, Iron Cobra hi-hats are foldable for quick set-up, fast tear down, and easy portability.
Tilt System
Not only do Tilt equipped stands offer more flexible set-ups, they also offer more expressive hi-hat work because you can tilt the hi-hat cymbal. Iron Cobra hi-hat stands can be tilted quickly and easily by loosening just one T-Bolt.
5-Way Tension Adjustment (US PAT.NO.4846040)
Five different levels of tension can be achieved quickly by using the five easily visible settings.
Olies Bearing Hinge
Offering even less friction than standard ball bearings, Oiles(R) bearings also eliminate side-to-side motion and provide superior durability (which is why they're used in the aerospace industry). (Oiles(R) bearings is a registered trademark of the Oiles Co., Ltd.) read less

"The smoothness of a snake"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I think I've covered just about everything- a high quality, slick looking stand that I hope will last me for the rest of my drumming days.
Sound
This stand is extrememly sensitive- most stands either the cymbals are opens or closed, and you control the sloppy sound manually with the seat adjustment. With this stand though (assuming you have good enough control of your foot) it will register the slightest motion, and you can achieve practically any range of sound you want out of your hats. The seat adjustment is also flexible.
Features
I really like the lever system, and the seat adjustment. The legs were really nice and easy to use (better than Pearl Eliminator's legs- instead of rotating the spikes for Pearl, which is a pain, the spikes slide in and out on the Tama which is easy and fast). However, the tension adjustment for the spring is just a normal notched plastic knob, which is all fine and good, but not as nice as the Eliminator's.
Quality
Excellent quality, the stand has held up quite nicely (but as I said before I don't gig with it, which is the true test of quality). No cosmetic blemishes, no loose parts.
Value
I think it could be a little cheaper. It's basically the equivalent of the Pearl Eliminator. I've messed around with a Eliminator stand/pedal combo that my friend had, but not enough to recommend it over the Iron Cobra or vice versa.… read more
Manufacturer Support
I got a drop clutch that 'sticks' the tension rod with a T-bolt rather than the clutch that came with the stand that 'clamps' the rod (much gentler on the rod). My rod has gotten dented, so I might look into getting a replacement, but I haven't tried yet. So if you stick with the original clutch, you should be straight. So, yeah, I haven't needed service yet.
The Wow Factor
It looks pretty slick, especially next to an Iron Cobra double pedal. I like the way it looks better than anything else, besides DW9000 (you just can't beat DW9000's look). On a side note, if you're shopping for a pedal as well, research the difference between rolling glide and power glide carefully. I got a power glide, but I'm thinking I should've gotten a rolling... oh well
