Tama Iron Cobra HP900RN 900 Rolling Glide Single Bass Drum Pedal
The Tama Iron Cobra 900 Rolling Glide Single Pedal is a renowned and highly regarded bass drum pedal that has become a benchmark in the industry. Its success can be attributed to three main principles: smoothness, stability, and adjustability. With over 20 years of consistent performance for countless drummers around the globe, the Iron Cobra is constantly evolving and remains a top choice for superior quality, innovation, and design.
- The Iron Cobra HP900RN Rolling Glide is a single kick drum pedal for the serious player. The pedal's solid foundation can be attributed to its Super Stabilzer design that incorporates a wider base plate and frame for absolute stability. At the pedal's heel, the specially designed 3-piece Hinge Guard Block provides a more durable hinge point and also lengthens the footboard for increased leverage.
- At the heart of the Iron Cobra is the Rolling Glide cam, which has been upgraded to the lighter, smoother, more natural feeling LiteSprocket design. This cam is an offset double-chained Rolling Glide cam, which delivers an evenly paced stroke from start to finish as it travels towards the bass drum head. The Speedo-Ring rocker cam is yet another example of streamlining, eliminating spring friction with a high quality built-in ball bearing rocker. The Quick-Hook spring attachment eliminates wobbling, provides maximum power transmission to the Speedo-Ring, and helps facilitate quicker setup. To further improve speed and beater stroke action, the adjustable Cobra Coil spring-return constantly works to push the footboard back to its original position, tightening the relationship between player's foot and the pedal.
- Perhaps one of the most ingenious developments of the HP900PN is its Swivel Spring Tight tension locking mechanism, which is designed to rock or swivel, allowing freer spring movement and a smoother overall feel. The smartly redesigned Power-Strike Cobra Beater provides a fatter, yet more focused sound and optimizes beater action for strong, precise impact. Finally, the Iron Cobra brings an end to makeshift methods of trying to protect the bass drum hoop: the Para-Clamp II Pro holds the pedal securely to the bass drum hoop without scratching it or slipping, thanks to an enlarged rubber padded clamp piece.
- The Iron Cobra HP900RN includes a custom hardshell carrying case for safe transport.
