Tama HP600DMB Iron Cobra 600 Duo Glide Single Bass Drum Pedal – Dark Shadow Edition
Tama HP600DMB Iron Cobra 600 Duo Glide Single Bass Drum Pedal – Dark Shadow Edition
A limited-edition matte-black Iron Cobra 600 with a baked-on textured finish — built around the Duo Glide cam, double chain drive, Speedo-Ring, and dual-sided beater that put this pedal series on countless kits worldwide.
A Smart Fit For You
The HP600DMB is the kind of bass drum pedal that genuinely earns its place under your right foot. The Iron Cobra 600 platform delivers a remarkable amount of the feel and engineering from Tama's flagship Iron Cobra 900 series at a more accessible price, and the Dark Shadow Edition adds a sharp matte-black baked-on textured finish that looks great on stage and resists wear. The standout feature is the Duo Glide cam — a simple cam reversal lets you switch between a round Rolling Glide sprocket for smooth, linear response and an offset Power Glide sprocket for acceleration and impact, which means one pedal genuinely covers two playing styles. Double-chain drive, the ball-bearing Speedo-Ring rocker cam, adjustable spring tension and beater angle, and the rock-solid Para-Clamp II hoop attachment make this pedal feel like a working drummer's tool, not a compromise. The included dual-sided beater (felt and plastic) lets you change attack character without buying a second beater.

Why You'll Love It
Features
Duo Glide reversible cam, double chain drive, Speedo-Ring rocker with built-in ball bearing, Swivel Spring Tight mechanism, adjustable spring tension and beater angle, Para-Clamp II hoop clamp, stable base-plate frame, and a dual-sided felt/plastic beater — all dressed in the limited matte-black Dark Shadow finish.
Advantages
One pedal really does cover two playing styles thanks to the Duo Glide cam — switch from Rolling Glide for jazz and lighter rock to Power Glide for metal and high-energy work in less time than a string change. The ball-bearing Speedo-Ring and double chain make this pedal feel smoother and more consistent than most pedals at this price point.
Benefits
You get one of the most adjustable mid-range pedals in the industry plus serious looks. Dial it in to match your kick drum, your style, and the song you're playing. Built to last, easy to maintain, and dressed to impress on a dark stage.
Great Fit For
- Working drummers wanting flagship feel at a mid-range price
- Players who switch styles often and benefit from the Duo Glide cam options
- Rock, metal, and punk drummers needing the Power Glide acceleration
- Jazz, gospel, and pop drummers favoring the smooth Rolling Glide response
- Drummers upgrading from a beginner or entry-level pedal
- Studio players who appreciate adjustable feel and consistent action
- Anyone hunting a sharp-looking limited-edition pedal for stage presence
Feel and Performance
The HP600DMB rewards drummers who actually tune their pedal to their playing. Set the cam to Rolling Glide and the pedal moves with a smooth, linear feel that suits ghost notes, doubles, and controlled rolls — perfect for jazz, gospel, fusion, and lighter rock. Flip the cam over to Power Glide and the offset shape accelerates the beater through the stroke, putting more energy into the head for the kind of authoritative attack metal, hard rock, and punk drummers expect. The ball-bearing Speedo-Ring keeps the motion frictionless across that whole range, the Swivel Spring Tight mechanism keeps the spring pull straight (no annoying spring twist over time), and the double chain drive transmits your foot motion accurately at any tempo. The included dual-sided beater rotates 180 degrees: felt for warmer attack, plastic for a sharper, more articulate punch.
