Works great the thing about triggers you can practically trigger anything as long as you have a source of vibration

i've never used iron cobras, but i do use speed cobras. they are wonderful for playing at extreme tempos

I have just bought a pair of the 305p. I get the lightness thing and also the momentary dread when lifting them new out of the box…😂. I guess the weight is down to the class d amps which is why they became so popular in the PA speakers. To my ears these have quite a neutral sound and do show the producers efforts quite clearly in playback which is great. I don’t have an issue with the gloss finish and actually like the contrast. I love the bass out of these things. I use them for midfield playback only and bought them for the sheer space saving convenience over HiFi. They do a great job. I have the JBL 104bt on my desk and they also fit so very well and perform wonderfully. The thing I like about the 104 apart from the coaxial speaker design is the soundstage is kept at the desk and in front of me rather than having huge width which so many look for in the HiFi realm. So yes, excellent value for money, agreed!

Great video. How do you set up the outputs of MPC64 into Inputs of the new audio tracks? I display the menu in the inputs but only shows Input L Input R. No MPC Stereo as yours. Thanks!

Have you tried adding the toe stop plate for the iron cobra so your foot doesnt go into the chain?

Which beater did you end up installing on the Iron Cobra you have? Looking to replace my original worn white felty ones.

Hamm's Beer is why I clicked on this... (well also I love tama pedals, ok I lied about just the beer) but the hamm's intro zoom-in. but I'll see your Hamm's and raise you a Big Flatt's chitown pilsen poor-ass college student days represent

Both excellent pedals. SC is very smooth and a bit lighter feeling whereas the IC is also smooth but has a bit more punch and not as fast. Depending on the style of music fast is not always better per se… the IC has a more versatile and natural feel. I also have the 50th anniversary Carbon DW 5000 which is also fantastic and great for more chill music. Double pedals for all 3 and it’s not that I play much “metal” but it’s nice to throw in some double kick at times. Next purchase will be checkin out the DW 9000... Also, you can get toe stoppers… I have them on my IC and I couldn’t imagine not.. they’ve been on for 20 years and I’ve never thought once about removing them.

Thanks heaps for the review, you helped me greatly.... I was deciding between buying one of these two.... I'm going to go for the Speed Cobra HP91LN

This video helped me tremendously. Thank you!

How LOUD are just one of them? It covers a drum player on the room? I want it to play my guitar with in small rooms with my friends and band, i use the 305p version and they are loud in my bedroom

ooof should have watched this video before purchasing my mpkmini lol. I was hoping to use it for Impact. lol

you DO realize there are TOE STOPPERS from tama ..right ?

I'm about 2 months in. Like you I replaced my heads and bought a different pedal (Tama speed cobra 910 coming tomorrow). I'm trying to learn heel toe right now. I don't know if I'm doing it correctly tho. I feel like I'm doing well at playing for only being at it 2 months. You are doing much better. Granted I haven't practiced everyday tho. I spend more time on CZcams watching videos on how to play the drums rather than actually playing the drums haha.

Oh God hamms

You do know that Akai has to write a custom script for studio One but you can use the MPC one in controller mode

"I'm an alcoholic" lmao. Great way to start a video my man. I haven't had a sip of booze in 56 days now :) Several months ago I bought an acoustic kit and then a couple weeks later I also bought a ekit. I severely underestimated how loud an acoustic kit is. I have a Tama kick pedal. Hp30 I think. It's the cheapest one they make probably. At some point I'm sure I'll upgrade but for now I'm just moving it back and forth between the 2 kits.

What kind of trigger is it

It’s ok

Iron Cobra 900 for the win.

Haven’t tried the Speed Cobra but I owned Iron Cobra double pedal and there were threaded holes on far end of the foot boards for toe stops to be added. Keeps your toes from getting gnarled by the chains

Just picked one up myself. Such a killer pedal.

can i have your iron cobra? 😂

It's okay, you can't be an alcoholic with American beer. That would be like calling yourself a porn addict because you have Sports Illustrated.

My bro good looking out! I have the Akai Force and I hope thanks to your tut that I can connect as you have shown?!!. I thought I would be use my midi cables from my Akai Force out to my interface which goes into my Studio One 6 then wahlah but I’m so glad you took the time to clear these issues w Akai on vid! Thanks bro!!.

You will learn heel toe like the other drummers one you realise its easier to not use the heel in heeltoe

Helped a lot

Good comparison, both great pedals. Nice pants.

😅

do you have any videos of your full setup live? thanks!

thanks for the review, i use heel up, you can do Neil Pert 32nd beats that way.

What trigger are you using? I was thinking of hooking up my DW practice kit with triggers since I’m in a dorm room and can’t really record acoustically right now, but I still want to record as organically as I can.

Perfect i can make an e drum from my acoustic kit

HAVE YOU SEEN ALL THE ELECTRONICS INSIDE THESE THINGS? WOW. THESE SO CALLED BUDGET MONITORS ARE FULL OF HIGH TECH RESEARCH, HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED JBL. EVEN MY JBL BIKE SPEAKER HAS BETTER BASS THAN MOST SYSTEMS.

Sure would like to see you do this with Cubase!

I can't seem to make your "MPC Template". I have followed along but I never see the "plug in". Would you be so kind as to post your MPC Template as a download so I coud try and see if that would work for me. I have an MPC ONE that I just purchased and I have Studio One 6 pro. My setup seems to be identical to your set up in every way so I'm not sure why it's not working for me. I did talk to the guys at presonus tech support but they told me that they never hear of anybody with this exact setup so they could'nt help me. Thanks Dave.

You do know you can use it as a controller in studio One right

Rare to see open handed drumming. I like seeing it when I do.

That was awesome

Boston's first album is a masterpiece and is 45 years old! How much of the computer generated garbage that passes for music today will be around 45 years from now... Next up, cover "Hitch a Ride"!

I think if you put on shoes you’ll have a better experience protecting your feet from the elements. The speed cobra is awesome.

Studio one ? You have to pay for this daw ?

My studio one doesn't even recognize my mpc as a vst. Am i missing something? I scanned, but no mpc. Is there anything i have to do within the mpc software? Anybody. Thanks

Is the Iron cobra a rolling glide ? or power glide? and the Speed cobra is def. a bit more ..normally 269.00

Hey bro is there anyway I can get ahold of you I need help getting my mpc too work with MIDI into my daw I’ve watched your videos and I’m still stuck.

I bought a MPC X an hour ago because of this method. Akai needs to cut you a check.

Still dealing with this in 2023... This method works great, but every time I load a new project in MPC, I need to remap the pads in the MPC plugin. Does anyone have a workaround for this? If not I think pasting the audio files for each track will be quicker than remapping each time

Bro is the speed cobra 910 heel toe friendly?

Lol you sound alot better than me when i first started. I hope you continue on your journey!
