TAMAIron Cobra Felt Bass Drum Beater Head
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A felt beater head for TAMA Iron Cobra bass drum pedals. For players replacing a worn beater face or moving to a softer attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a beater face that's compressed or chewed up
- Softening attack on a bass drum that reads too clicky
- Keeping a spare in the hardware case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want maximum click for metal or fast double-bass
- Anyone chasing a plastic or wood beater's harder attack
- Drummers on a non-Iron Cobra pedal without checking fit
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Beater head, not the whole beater
It's the striking part. Your existing shaft and the pedal's beater clamp stay in place.
Detail 03
Iron Cobra fitment
Sized around TAMA's Iron Cobra beater system, which is where it drops in without adaptation.
Detail 04
$25.99
A fraction of a full beater, so worth it if the shaft and pedal are still in good shape.
Detail 05
Replaceable head design
Wear becomes a consumable. When the felt flattens you swap the face instead of the whole assembly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm it matches your beater shaft before ordering, especially on non-Iron Cobra pedals
- 02No pedal, shaft, or drum key included
- 03Felt wears faster than plastic — expect to replace it on a hard-hitting setup
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Iron Cobra pedal?
That's what it's built for. If your pedal is a different model or brand, compare it against your current beater head before ordering.
02Felt or plastic — which should I use?
Felt for a warmer, rounder thud with less click. Plastic for a sharper attack that cuts through loud guitars. Many players keep both and switch by gig.
03Do I need tools to swap it?
A drum key or the hex wrench that came with your pedal is usually enough to loosen the beater clamp and get at the shaft.
04How long does a felt beater head last?
It depends entirely on how hard and how often you play. Watch for a flat spot or compressed face — once it stops rebounding evenly, the feel goes with it.
