Tama HP900PN Iron Cobra 900 Power Glide pedal para bombo

General

Tama's HP900PN Iron Core Power Glide bass drum pedal is the successor to the highly successful HP900PSN. This single bass drum pedal has been improved in a number of areas compared to its predecessor. The base plate and frame have been made wider for greater stability. There's a new beater too, in the form of the Power Strike Cobra which gives a fuller sound with better action. A closer look reveals that the connection between the footboard and the base plate has been changed too, again for greater stability and improved action. The new Hinge Guard block now means no lateral movement or squeaking either.

The Para Clamp II Pro ensures a secure attachment to the bass drum hoop and won't leave any scratches. By using rubber, it won't come loose during playing. Tama clearly took another look at 2014's successful Speed Cobra series when it came to improving the action. The same Lite Sprocket used on that series can now be found on all the new Iron Cobra models. It's Lite Sprocket that gives the chain a better connection with the footboard improving the action. Finally, the Swivel Spring Tight system allows the base of the spring to swivel with the pedal's movement for a more natural feel and optimal smoothness. The pedal comes complete with a specially designed hardcase.

Rolling Glide or Power Glide?

You may well be wondering what the actual difference is between a Power Glide and a Rolling Glide pedal. The difference lies in how the beater hits the drum. In a Power Glide pedal the beater is given extra speed by the cam just before it strikes the skin which can be handy for rock and pop drummers. With a Rolling Glide pedal the speed is more uniform. The cam is the part the beater is attached to and over which the chain runs down.
