Probably the best videos I've seen on this in terms of dismantling the pedal, cleaning & reassembly as well as being applicable to the Iron Cobra's - at least the 900 something or other ones. I just took mine apart recently to clean and apply lubrication, as well as putting the rolling cams on. There's a lot of screws and small parts to keep track of but otherwise fairly easy to do. There was a comment questioning the point of cleaning/lubricating - in 8yrs I've done it twice, dust and other tiny particles eventually find their way in, lubricant won't last decades either. Dust etc becomes trapped within the lube which increases friction and degrades the lubricant over time - might be much but it's enough that after cleaning etc the difference is there.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to create!

Great video man i'm definitely going to try this out today.

I did this today step by step, the squeaking is totally gone. very helpful, thanks!

I just got a set of speed cobras double pedal there so good i love them thanks for info

Thanks DrumstickSteve! I'm glad you liked it.

I don't really have any problems with my Speed Cobras, but after lubricating everything up, the slave pedal became noticeably smoother! I sometimes use my left foot as the lead foot, that's why the smoothness of the slave pedal is very important to me. I used a Tama Tune-Up Oil, which i recommend because it's super cheap and it's less "messier" than the oil that you are using. Thanks A LOT man! Really appreciate it! :D

I have the same pedal for 7 years, since your video was new. Never tried to dismount it. But I could try that now, I think it's time for some cleaning! :P

Go to your local skate board shop and buy the fastest bearings they have in your budget and put them in your pedal they are the same size

Just got one of these today. Wow they are awesome. I chose them over the dw9000. Mainly because you can't feel these on your feet while playing. The dw 9000 was really good and I loves the response. But they both had their pros and cons. It was a hard decision. Both had their strengths and weaknesses. Too choose between the two is hard.

Nice video. I'm gonna do the same thing on my Iron Cobra double pedal and I'll let you know how it turns out. I've had it since 2005 and I've never cleaned it or lubricated it. I can feel a resistance so cross your fingers this helps.

You're welcome... they are phenomenal pedals!

In the manual it says the bearings are lube free by design...

Appreciate you trying to help people but your actually ruining the pedal. Those are sealed bearings. That lube your spraying on them is getting into the bearing housing and actually removing the grease that’s inside from the factory. All u can do with sealed bearings is replace them but those are very high end bearings that come with this pedal so their lifespan is very long. Cleaning up around the bearings and race’s is fine and even spraying a very small amount of chain lube is fine too but what you just showed people in regards to the bearings will cut their lifespan down dramatically.

I'm to scary to disassemble my speed cobra :X Great Job !!

I had a rough squeak in my left pedal for years and I kept oiling it with the good stuff but it was no use. Finally took the whole thing apart and my lefty works great! Should have done this 4 years ago

When I used to skate I used to take the bearings off my deck and boil them on the stove in water then re-lube them and put them back in the wheels and then put the wheels back on the trucks. We would spin the wheels after boiling and re-lubing them and they would spin far longer than before. Faster quieter and longer duration of spin. We used GMS bearings and when you boiled them some gunk would boil out into the water.

Thank you! It's a great idea to lube the chain as well. I just give it a very light amount of oil / lube because it tends to collect a lot of dirt, debris, and drumstick chips when it's over-oiled.

Gracias importspd....por tu video de mantenimiento.

awesome! I did this on my iron cobra 200 series and am considering upgrading the bearings as I've had 'em for quite a while.. however.. I cant get access to the floating bearing on the slave (far side) as it requires an Allan key. I used to correct size Allan key but it was so tight it rounded off, so I am unable to get access into the bearing unfortunately.. any suggestions? I don't want to upgrade all the other bearings and not that one as it could cause further damage..

Hi! I have two kinds of lubricants Dry Lube(super-slip silicone lubricant) and Maintenance Spray (and water repellent) Which one should I use?

hey man thanks for the awesome video. What do you think about lubricating the chain ? Is it a logical thing to do ?

After watching this I'm wondering if I can change the right twin pedal to a lefty

What about the linkage? My pedal runs smooth, but the linkage recently became a bit stiff. I can barely notice it while playing, but during take down and set up I can see the problem, and I'm worried it's going to fail.

Hi; wonfer if new SC board and old board are same size..? can they be changed?

how often should I crack everything open in a relatively clean environment?

Great advice and definitely needed some help with my Cobras as far as maintenance goes. Can I use a teflon spray lube versus the metal protector spray you were using?

Why would you lubricate a sealed bearing? The "grime" your lubricant is "cleaning" is actually grease that's packed into the bearing. Your better off just replacing the bearings.

3 in 1's silicone oil in the yellow can works great

I didn't know that Tama had their own oil... thanks for the info man! I'll be using that next time!

i have my iron cobras for maybe 7 years, never disassembled them like you did. i used wd-40 for some visible bearings, especially the connector shaft. Was wd-40 a bad choice?

I rock Teflon bike lube..I am a Cyclist also haha! Super Vid man!

Nice tutorial!! Do you know where I can obtain that tiny phillips head screw that holds the HP9S - Speedo Ring halves together? Mine came out and to order a new one is $25 + $9.99 for shipping - basically for a tiny screw!! Do you happen to know the size of that screw?

Unlike Yamaha, they made a pedal that you can open. That's cool ! Can't wait to have mine !

How do you do it with the iron cobras?

I guess i have the old version of the pedal.. My shaft assembly was not made the same way as yours.. And i have noticed on my pedal, that on the left beater is uneven and wobbly? I don't know if that is an issue with yours but for me it's irritating me.. btw anyway great video! made my pedals roll smooth again

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Help! I took my pedals apart and can't figure out how to get them back together again!

Nice video man, thanks alot. I have Speed Cobras myself and I was wondering whether it is possible to somehow mount the left beater (you take it of at 5:20) to the left pedal, in order to play two seperate bass drums without having to buy another single pedal. What do you think?

hey dude im not a big guy and i wanna play some fast double bass, like dream theater(he uses these pedals)..but for some reason i feel that the pedals are just too heavy....any tips? thanks :) (btw i have the iron cobras)

Lubrifier les roulement quoi ! tout une video pour ça ^^

How do you adjust the beater angle

which springs are those?

Can I use Tri-Flow?

thanks, thanks, thanks

what is the type of the bearing?

I’ve had problems with my slave pedal not rebounding and being as springy as the master pedal even though I have the beater height, beater angle, and spring tension all setup the same. I was thinking that disassembling the pedals and cleaning/relubricating would be the only way to get them to feel the same. I hope this works

Good tutorial friend, but spring you placed them? these are not the original ???

did you notice a big different after cleaning them?

what if my bearings are full of rust? How do I clean them?

I would first soak them in a parts cleaner solution, and then soak them in a lubricant to make sure that they are completely lubricated before reinstalling them on your pedals.

Hey! I'm in urgent need of some advice on my iron cobra double pedal! On the master pedal the bridge can not be separated into two because the two sides of the brige is under the slave beater holder, and it won't separate. The biggest problem is that the slave pedal holder is somewhat held in place by the linkage of the brige's two sides. can't figure out how to remove it... or separate the bridge into two. Can some1 help me? That would be awesome!

here is my pedal problem: made a video of it right here. tama speed cobra problem, normal?? Hi guys, finaly got a double speedcobra. BUT have a problem may you can help me. the slaver beater breaks a litle the function and sits a bit loose on the center / axis just to the right and left, not for/back work. so please check yours, wana know it is normal or may got a series that was not good handle. otherway works very good. what can i do to work the slave pedal like the master pedal. slave breaks befor master pedal thanks for feedback

one thing should be kept in mind i have the pearl 2002 classaic eliminator it came with the chain i converted it to the demon drive direct bolt on no mods needed i find a dry bearing is faster and im using full ceramic bearing blowes ninja out the water again i find lube on bearings steel bearings stock bearings are slow wit lube ceramic needs no lube

HI, can you help me, i have an iron cobra doble pedal, right and i want to make it lefty just to try my bass drum in other way in my drumkit, any idea hot to do it? it´s possible?.....any help i´ll aprecciatte tanx man!!!

that bearings are shielded and contains special grease when assembled, when slack should be replaced, which can put spray is in chains! Spray the bearing can take the special grease and decrease their useful life, embrace

I have an issue at where the left beater attaches to the driveshaft, it can shift left and right. The two part driveshaft doesn't feel solid when I put it back together. Anyone else experiencing this?

What about gun lube?

The iron cobras are completely different to these !!!

sounds like all i would have to do is get some abec 9 skate bearings and throw them in a iron cobra and get the speed i want

They come with sealed bearings. Lubrication is not required. Except on the u joints.

Not entirely sure what lubricating the outside of the ball bearings will do.

I used WD-40 it worked great!

Mine didn't come with a spacer?

Id be so fucking terrified bc i know my dumbass wouldnt be able to put that shit back together 😂

I can not get my 310 to function a full capacity and what I mean is I can't hit doubles easily on every stroke for whatever reason, I have adjusted this thing a million different ways and changed the beaters and I just don't like it..Also, i feel the beaters over extend when hitting the bass drum head, the base plate seems like it needs to come closer when mounting to the hoop... My 20-year-old Iron Cobra is a better pedal, super annoying..

I just did this with my iron cobras, but instead of re-lubricating the bearings, I replaced them with bones reds bearings for $10. They're much more responsive.

NOT the same as the Iron Cobra Power Glide. There is no metal bearing cover because the bearings are completely enclosed in the frame. You need to take both beaters off in order to gain access to them

Dave mustaine

Bought it and hated it. Just could not build any momentum : / Went right back to an iron cobra 20th anniversary with strap not chain.

I did this to my speed cobra and now the pedal is way too smooth!!!!!! Even at highest tension, I can barely feel the pedal!!!! I don't like it!!!

That's some major surgery but I have to do it

With Bones Reds skateboard bearing is faster.

buy new ones. only way. can get them at a skate shop or online search of course.

you might wanna change the tittle :3 -_-

your lighting is terrible. light from the front not the side. half the stuff i can't see properly due to shadows

This won't make your pedal any faster because it doesn't change the level of skill you're at as a drummer. It will make the pedal feel smoother.

uhm uhm

I lost most of my left eyebrow because a spacer wasn't put in right. That stuff can work fine until some random moment it finds the exact parameters to run the error someone didn't see. .... Don't worry it was an electric longboard. China man copied a board, slapped a cool design, did a good price and took advantage of the pandemic free money. The dude (Chinese dude still) never really tested much like QA such be done, they were after market. But... Apparently not when it comes to wheels. He never tested it or designed it so whoever gave him the files (Chinese is full of companies that copies whatever kinda thing) maybe didn't care Idk. The spacer was too short and I believe something wasn't correct on the bearing either. I don't ride crazy so I do full padding with gloves, 300 helmet (legit worth it), elbows, knees, a jacked that is padded in the chest elbow and back. I think one wheel just randomly got too much pressure and I got insane speed wobble (wasn't going fast maybe 15 tops) I jumped off, did 4 long save jumps to just think "oh shit this is how it ends." blacked out, apparently I got up and rode my board home because I don't remember getting home. I don't remember getting up and all that. Impressive. But ugly scar. The left out parts can really get insane but nobody asked or cares for my story. But yeah I like the speed cobra. Please don't mess up your spacers.

That ummm will ummmm expose... ummm... Gosh that is annoying.

um um um cant watch

good video, but verry anoying that you say uhm ahh uhm like 2 million times

Umm umm umm ummm

Uhhh....Ummmm....Uhhh.....Ummmmm. Lol.

Speed cobra is lame. Can't adjust it. Dyna sync is way better

Actually to make that pedal faster it should tossed in a scrap bin and replaced with Trick pro v-1 bigfoots. 😁🙊 Tama speed cobra pedals are low end ...

really painful to listen to, consider speaking at faster than 4am in the morning speed
