I bought these longboard, double chain-drive pedals brand new in Spring of 2025. Very well cared for. I used them for once-a-week band practice over a 9-month period with two local, one night gigs. An excellent, precision built system that can go head to head against pedals costing hundreds of $$$ more. These are "pro-level" pedals that Tama developed with our budgets in mind. You wouldn't know it. They're truly, a killer value and respond amazingly. If you're new to double kick drumming and want pedals that will take you well into your more advanced playing GET THESE!!! You can easily adjust and "dial" them in as you discover and develope your double-kick grooves. The beater shafts are straight and true because they weren't used. I swapped them out for Danmar all-felt beaters on these pedals. Both beater's felt and hard sides are new. The adjustable linkage arm is in excellent shape as well. These function like brand new. I had another Iron Cobra double pedal (regular sized footboards) that I used for more than 25 years. They're still in great shape, so Tama did an amazing job with the cobras!
