TAMA

Description

The HP30 Single Bass Drum Pedal's power cam offers increased power and speed as the beater reaches the end of the stroke. The beater angle can be easily adjusted, a feature that is usually found only on more expensive bass drum pedals. The DS30 beater offers two different sounds: by rotating the beater head, you can choose felt for a softer controlled sound, or plastic for a louder and punchier sound.

You won't find adjustable beater/footboard angles on most bass drum pedals in this price range. Tama's HP30 pedals come standard with an angle adjustment system linked to the footboard angle. So you can easily recall your favorite angle setting.

Inspired by Iron Cobra's "Spring Tight" feature, a specially-shaped nut on the HP30 pedal prevents the spring unit from loosening.

Pretty Nice Pedal

This is an easy to use smooth and fast bass drum pedal. My only complaint is that as I'm playing my toes slip up to the top and hit the chain. I have another Tama bass pedal and it has a toe guard, which I didn't appreciate until now. I suppose if you conciously try to not allow your foot to move forward you will do fine.

    This is a very reliable pedal. I have used them since 2006 and have had no problems. Not fancy, easy to adjust. It replaced my Speed King and my DW 5000 in my travel kits. Buy it.

  • Good product

    I have used Tama hardware since the early 80's. This pedal is best thing I have found for under $100 bucks hands down! Responsive, easy to adjust, smooth operating, plenty of torque when you want to kick down walls, but sensitive enough to play with finesse and grace. I have sat in on other players kits and the kick pedal always seemed mushy with spongy rebound and nano-second of lag from foot-board to beater. Yes I am a "fanboy" and I love this pedal...now go get ya one!!!

    i have an alesis nitro dm6 kit. i am having alot of trouble with the alesis pedal double and tripple hitting. will this pedal help with that problem?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    Probably not. It’s not a good idea to mix brands of e-drums.

    Can you switch the head of the pedal around so I dont have to use the mesh head on an electronic drumset?

    Yes you can.
