Has anyone seen this thing? It looks really sick, and it is made by Tama so it can't be cheap.

"Introducing: Speed Cobra:

Over the years, one of the greatest challenges facing drum pedal manufactures has been to provide a pedal that “does it all”. Or at the very least, focuses on the most critical features that drummers absolutely demand to enhance their performance. A difficult task, by any meas. By today’s standards the two most important features desired are speed and power. With most pedals, if you adjust the playability to address speed, you can sometimes lose power. And if you focus primarily on the feeling of power, you sometimes lose the desired speed. Now, the rules have changed. TAMA has a new pedal that delivers not only pure raw aggression and power, but lightening fast speed!

Speed Cobra’s overwhelmingly fast action is a result of several newly developed mechanisms such as the FATBALL Bearing and LiteSprocket. Plus, the new Projector Beater gives your bass drum sound increased projection and richer resonance.
The recessed footboard angle, combined with the newly developed Super Spring allows you to play incredible dynamics and fluid speed without experiencing muscle strain. Speed Cobra’s smooth and stable action is based on the Iron Cobra’s prominent heritage and allows you to play every possible delicate nuance to create you own personal playing style.

Speed Cobra’s extreme velocity and serious power feels like nothing you’ve ever played before."

It's a very simple design but that what tamas hardware is famous for. Im sceptical as to whether this will actually deliver all the speed and power it promisses as it has not exactly renivented the wheel and pedal manufacturers have been claiming that for years. My eliminators are set with the shortest chain setting, pedal board far forward and the yellow cam and that's the best power v speed Ive found in any pedal.

I'll be interested in trying it out but I won't be trading in my eliminators anytime soon.
