Tama HP900PM Features:
- Power-Strike Cobra Beater: TAMA's commitment to enhancing sound has fueled the ongoing evolution of the Iron Cobra. The latest iteration introduces a smaller yet thicker beater head, providing increased attack compared to previous designs. Additionally, the adjustment in the distance between the beater head's face and the shaft has garnered positive feedback from drummers, enhancing control, especially during faster passages.
- Swivel Spring Tight: Traditionally, spring assemblies anchor the bottom while the top faces varied angles throughout the pedal cycle, leading to wasted energy and turbulence. The Swivel Spring Tight assembly addresses this issue by utilizing a contoured design, enabling the base to swivel freely with the spring. This innovation recaptures lost energy, ensuring a straight spring pull during the entire pedal cycle. The result is the smoothest and lightest action ever experienced on a bass drum pedal.
- Para-Clamp II Pro: TAMA presents the enhanced Para-Clamp II, an upgraded version of the popular original. Featuring a newly designed three-dimensional rubber grip, it efficiently secures a wide range of bass drum hoops, increasing holding power while preventing hoop scratching. Setup and breakdown are simplified, especially when seated on a throne, thanks to the Para-Clamp II Pro's T-bolt positioned on the side of the footboard rather than underneath.
- Oiles® Bearing Hinge: The Iron Cobra 900 Series enhances durability with a robust 6 mm diameter shaft. Utilizing Oiles® bearings, renowned for reduced friction compared to standard ball bearings, the pedal ensures superior durability while eliminating undesired side-to-side motion. (Oiles® bearings is a registered trademark of the Oiles Co., Ltd.).
- Speedo-Ring: TAMA enhances performance by replacing the conventional nylon rocker cam with the Speedo-Ring, featuring a built-in ball bearing rocker. The Quick-Hook not only facilitates effortless setup and teardown but also streamlines the pedal, enabling quick storage in the hard case without removing the beater.
- Cobra Coil (US. PAT.NO.7408104): The Cobra Coil, a steel spring, enhances the Speed Cobra's feel by aiding the footboard's return to its original position. Its adjustable feature allows positioning variations, both forward and backward, on the base plate for added customization.
- Power Glide LiteSprocket: The original Power Glide cam's offset shape delivers TAMA's distinctive pedal action, enhancing beater power and speed at the stroke's end. The Iron Cobra, featuring a sprocket 40% lighter than its predecessor, ensures faster, smoother, and more powerful performance than ever before.
- Rolling Glide LiteSrocket: The Rolling Glide cam, a true round sprocket, ensures smooth and consistent action across the entire beater stroke. With a 40% reduction in weight compared to the previous cam, the Iron Cobra now offers a lighter and more controllable feel.
- Color Variations: Coral Swirl or Psychedelic Rainbow
