The Yamaha FP9C double-chain drive single bass drum pedal provides drummers with a responsively smooth and durable pedal for commanding bass drum technique. This pedal is constructed with a rugged double chain and stabilizing footboard for precision, power and longevity. The FP9C is built to withstand the demands of drummers at any skill level, from beginners to pros. Now, you can achieve the bass drum sound you want with Yamaha's famously high-quality engineering.

Double-Chain Drive Delivers Power and Control

At the heart of the FP9C is a robust double chain drive that transfers energy smoothly and efficiently from the footboard to the beater. The double chain design prevents slippage and provides a highly responsive feel for controlling bass drum dynamics with precision. Drummers will appreciate how the FP9C's drive translates subtle foot pressure changes into impact variations on the bass drum head.

Rugged Construction for Lasting Performance

Yamaha constructed the FP9C pedal using durable materials to handle the stresses of regular use. The footboard and baseplate are made of die cast aluminum, and the stabilizing clamp secures the pedal to bass drum hoops. Sealed bearings in the heel and toe pivot points keep the pedal smooth operating for years. Rubber grips on the footboard prevent slipping and the traction pad underneath the pedal anchors it in place on hard floors or carpeting.

Additional Features for Sound and Function

The FP9C comes with Yamaha's standard beater for a full, resonant tone. An optional felt beater is also available for a softer, warmer sound. The pedal's spring tension is adjustable to suit a drummer's preferred responsiveness and power. An optional drum key clip attaches a drum key to the pedal for quick adjustments. The FP9C folds compactly for storage in the included durable case, ideal for gigging drummers and limited spaces.
