คำแนะนำการใช้งาน

The Iron Cobra 600 Double Pedal offers several adjustments to fine-tune your playing experience:

• Duo Glide Cam Adjustment: The Duo Glide cam allows you to switch between two distinct cam profiles. The 'Rolling Glide' setting provides a consistent, linear feel, ideal for smooth, controlled strokes. The 'Power Glide' setting offers an offset cam shape that accelerates the beater's stroke, providing increased power and speed. Refer to the pedal's mechanism to identify the adjustment point for switching between these cam types.
• ความตึงของสปริง: Adjusting the spring tension directly impacts the pedal's rebound and feel. Higher tension results in a quicker, more responsive pedal, while lower tension offers a looser, more relaxed feel. Experiment with different settings to find what suits your playing style.
• Beater Angle and Height: The angle and height of the beaters can be adjusted to change the impact point on the bass drum head and the overall feel. A higher beater angle can provide more power, while a lower angle might offer more control. The dual-surface beaters (felt/plastic) allow you to choose between a softer attack (felt) or a sharper, more defined sound (plastic).
