Tama HP310LW Speed Cobra 310 twin pedal

General

For the double bass drummer who wants a pedal with the ideal balance between speed and power, the new Tama HP310LW is most certainly one to watch. As we've come to expect from Tama, this gorgeous twin pedal is of course a high-quality product, and it has a much smoother and lighter feel than, for instance, the Iron Cobra pedals.

Power and speed

Drummers are asking more and more of their pedals, but the two most important demands are always speed and power. However, usually the pedals that focus on speed will perform less admirably in the power department and the reverse is just as true. Pedals that are built to provide powerful attack are usually not particularly fast. With the new Speed Cobra 310 series, Tama has set a new standard for pedals that deliver both a truckload of power and a surprisingly quick and light feel.

Tama Speed Cobra 310 Series

The fact that the Speed Cobra pedals have such a quick response is thanks to a number of new developments, such as the LiteSprocket and the footboard's recessed setting. Thanks to these developments, the angle at which the footboard pulls down on the chain has been greatly improved. The extra long footboard and the angle at which it is mounted let you achieve the desired speed while using much less force. It also reduces the amount of force that is applied to the LiteSprocket, and that in turn reduces resistance. Of course, you can customise virtually every part of the pedal to fit your personal preference.
