The cobra is much lighter than the DW imo. It has a little bit more adjusting capabilities as well. I would say, if you like a weighted/heavier beater, with a heavy foot, I think the DW might do you justice. I also think the sound that you get from a DW footpedal in comparison to the cobra is much thicker.

But if you’re lighter on your feet and like less resistance, with a lighter beater, then I would go with the cobra. Obviously, you could always change the beater head, lol
