Tama Iron Cobra Rolling Glide HP900RWN Bass Drum ‘Master’ Single Pedal. RRP: £262 (single version) NEW: £185-220 (single)
The Tama Iron Cobra pedals are industry standards and widely regarded as one of the best bass drum pedals around: smooth and quiet, highly energy efficient, loads of innovative features, huge adjustability, rock solid build that will last for years.
The Tama Iron Cobra 900 Rolling Glide pedal (HP900RN) has a perfectly round sprocket, delivering a smooth, linear, and consistent feel.
This pedal is from a twin/double pedal, but without ‘slave’ pedal or drive shaft. It is a high performance, professional single pedal that works perfectly in its own right. But you have the additional option to convert it to a double pedal if you add a second ‘slave” pedal and drive shaft, both of which come up fairly regularly on eBay, etc. for not too much money. (The extra cam for the second beater makes no impact on playing and could be removed if wished, but there is absolutely no need to do this.)
KEY FEATURES: + Rolling Glide Cam: A true round sprocket that provides a smooth, even stroke across the entire travel of the beater, which is highly preferred for dynamic and precision playing. + Double Chain Drive: Offers a highly durable, solid, and reliable connection with no lateral play. + Swivel Spring Tight: An ingenious spring mechanism that swivels as the pedal moves, eliminating spring binding and ensuring the smoothest possible pull. + Quick-Hook spring: not only allows rapid spring attachment and reattachment for rapid set up and tear down, it also eliminates wobbling and allows maximum power transmission to the Speedo-Ring. And you never have to worry about it slipping off during performance. + Adjustable spring tension: spring tension is easily adjustable and can be locked using the nuts at the bottom. Easily replaceable if ever needed. + Para-Clamp: Designed to securely grip various bass drum hoop thicknesses without scratching or damaging the wood. + Vari-Pitch Beater Holder: Vari-Pitch beater angle adjustments are completely independent of the footboard angle. + Speedo-Ring: allows you to adjust the angle of the footboard link independently of the beater angle. The combination of the Speedo-Ring and the Vari-Pitch offer a range of incremental adjustments that will satisfy any style. + Felt Iron Cobra beater: angle adjustable with pedal weight included to adjust balance. + Toe stop: Removable toe stop. + Rubber grips on base plate: Provide secure, non-slip grip to prevent pedal creeping. + Rugged, robust design: these pedals are built to last! + Twin pedal drive shaft can be added to left side of pedal to connect a slave pedal, which utilises the second (left) spring. + Has the fitting to add the Tama Cobra Coil*: This is an optional extra and is a heavy-duty steel return spring placed beneath the footboard that assists in pushing the board back to its original position, significantly increasing rebound speed. (*Tama Cobra Coil can be ordered via eBay for about £17 new if you hunt around, although one was recently listed in used condition for about £8.)
CONDITION: Very good and fully functional. As you can see from tithe video, the pedal is wonderfully smooth, efficient and quiet. Plenty of signs of use: scratches, etc. Slight hint of a dusting of rust on chain and springs. Both recently oiled. Top of toe stop has been removed. Felt beater is fairly worn.
Comes as seen. No case, slave pedal, drive shaft, Cobra key or bolt for 2nd beater.
