Tama Speed Cobra Pedals Review
Quinton Eliason
Stevens- Henager College
ENG 101

Camco, DW and Ludwig have all produced such beasts, as has Japanese drum giant Tama. Its Iron Cobra pedal is truly a drum world icon, having been relied on by countless big-name artists on the world's biggest stages over many years. But now comes a new pretender in the form of the Speed Cobra, with features borrowed from its well-regarded older sibling and a host of innovative design tweaks to boot. Tama's tagline for the Speed Cobra is 'Extreme Velocity, Serious Power'. As such the Speed Cobra's new features have two simple goals in common - to increase speed and to increase aggressive response. Tama points out that these two aims have traditionally been mutually exclusive, with fast pedals losing some power, and powerful models reacting slower than some would like. So what solutions do Tama offer?
Well to start with, a quick overview of the features which the Speed Cobra shares with the Iron Cobra. Such things include the Oiles bearing hinge (as used in the aerospace industry no less), the patented Cobra Coil spring - which is located beneath the footboard to quickly return it to its default position after each stroke - and the Vari-Pitch beater holder that enables adjustment of the footboard link angle independently of the beater angle.
To that already impressive mix, the Japanese company has added several significant new features. The first and most obvious of these is the 'Fast Foot' footboard. Longer than on the Iron Cobra, the Fast Foot board is designed to increase speed of response but at the same time require less effort than previous designs.
In addition, the face of the board is smooth to reduce friction, which Tama reckon will improve control. On top of this there's an impressive new bearing assembly in the shape of the Fastball bearing on the end of the drive shaft, a true round sprocket (which Tama have named, brilliantly, 'LiteSprocket') that's evidently 40

    A smart phone is a crutch for people to use in social situations. It is a way for people to communicate to each other without actually having social skills. It is a way people can stay connected, but too much connection to society can have negative and positive effects on people. Complete contact with society gives people no time for themselves and never any time to de-connect. The relationship between a person and their smart phone is too tight. The connection to the smart phone is not the people they are communicating with; it is the attachment they feel to the phone.…

    Merode Triptych Analysis

    • 575 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The two paintings—Merode Triptych by Robert Campin and Annunciation by Fra Angelico, were completed in the 1400’s. Campin’s painting around 1425-1430 in Tournai, Belgium, and Angelico’s painting around 1440-1445 in Florence. The context of both paintings is similar: the painting itself relates to the outside world in which it was originally placed. In Merode Triptych, the setting is in a domestic interior, resembling a house. The painting itself was most likely placed in the house of a wealthy merchant family, thus connecting the setting of the painting and the outside setting. Campin broke tradition with his domestic setting; annunciation paintings are usually set in “ecclesiastical buildings.” Angelico kept with this tradition. The setting…

    My paper is about Hieronymus Bosch’s Last Judgement triptych painting. I chose this painting because it’s has an dark interesting theme and its reference to the bible. This painting was done by Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch on 1482. Bosch was born in 1450 in s-Hergenbotch, Burgundian Netherlands. It’s unknown when he started painting and how learned to paint. There is very little information on his life because he didn’t left any diaries or letters and not much is learned from his records in the city he grew up in, leaving many of his personal information such as real birth date to be unknown. He started his life of painting after a fire started in his town when he was thirteen and later on he became an outstanding artist who often received commissions from abroad schools. In 1488 he joined the brotherhood of our lady, an arch-conservative religious group some of the most influential and respected citizens of s-Hergenbotch. And about 7000 members from all around Europe. He became interested in the bible and became known for his macabre and nightmarish depictions of hell. ``…
