Continuing their 50th Anniversary celebrations after new snares and new drum kits, Tama has also released special editions of one of their most iconic products: the Tama Iron Cobra. Few bass drum pedals are as popular and widely known as this one, and the new edition is VERY psychedelic! In addition, Tama also presents colorful editions of their cymbal mate utility and a rug.

Tama Iron Cobra – Coral Swirl and Psychedelic Rainbow

It’s such a shame that outside of you playing it and plenty of envious drummers, few people from the audience will catch a glimpse at these two very colorful 50th-anniversary special editions of the Tama Iron Cobra. Bass drum pedals are just a bit too hidden. But the new finishes Coral Swirl and Psychedelic Rainbow are just so shiny!
