sonor 400 or iron cobra jr.?

[fromtheshadows]

hi all, merry xmas by the way, just a quick question i will be getting a peace d.n.a kit for xmas and a double pedal, out of these 2 (sonor,tama). What double pedal would you go for, they are both the same prie where i am getting them from (140 pound) and just wanted to know what i would be best with, i play alot of double bass so i would need somethink quite strong.

cheers all

if you need something quite strong look at ic rolling glides

ive never used a junior but ive heard they arent as good ics

[fromtheshadows]

i would get an IC but i cant afford it, i have narrowed it down to them 2 so i basicly need opions on them 2 cheers anyway :thumb:

so anyone else got any info?

possibly save up or lease one or get one put on layaway

also have you tried the two pedals in stores


get what you like the feel of the most not just limiting to your budget

buying on a budget and then replacing later just costs more

taking the time to save up and getting what you really want is also a great feeling cause you earned it

[fromtheshadows]

i would try in sotres, but i have no local drum stores to me i have to do all my drum shopping online :angry: i really need opions from people who have played on these pedals so i can get some info on them and make my mind up as i have to geto ne of them with in a weeks time

I believe DrumPhil uses sonor 400s. I had a single that came with my 3005; for a single chain pedal, it felt awfully good. I haven't ever used the Jr., but I liked the 400. The 400 also has a double-sided beater, and I know my Iron Cobra doesn't...not sure about the current Jr. model on the beater, but I think it's just the one sided felt beater...so if you wanted a rubber or plastic one, go for the 400 for sure.

the IC jr.s are actually pretty good. I owned one for a while then switched back to single pedal then am back on double again. Look into DW7000's too.

dued IC jr. is good i owned and i still have it i like it becase it has a good flexibity so u can play faster with them, but now im about to play with double bass drum soo good luck in ur choose

I'm saving up for the 7000s.

Wonderful pedals for the money. Hopefully I'll get enough Christmas money to buy em at a boxing day sale.

i traded in my pearl elim single pedal i had used for about 8 months and got the DW7000 double for $100. not too bad.

[The Ska Man]

The 400, hands down. Thread over.

Nice. I got some old piece of crap Pearl direct drive with a shot spring right now. I'm amazed I can do 8ths as fast as I can with it.

:rolleyes:

I'd go and trade something in for the pedal, but the 7002s worth about as much as my kit is.

:smash:

[Brokensticks]

Well that was pretty frank.

That was quite frank.

[fromtheshadows]

well im guessing everyone is for the 400 so shall i go for it.......?

[Damo]

Id say they are pretty much on par with one another, but two totally different pedals in terms of design.

[Maggot Dream]

I have the IC Jr, just because I got it for a really cheap price. I actually like it alot. When I get the money I'll probably get an IC or look into some of the DW's.

[Imperial Star]

I own IC Jr's. They are good enough for me and I have it hit some good speeds with them. I havent owned any other pedals other than a 20 year old tama one so i can't really compare them but they seem to have a fair amount of adjustments.
