Tama – The Classic Pedal

With their classic pedal Tama have sought to remove the unnecessary faff associated with over complicated pedal setups.

Instead they’ve opted for a stripped down, super simple, no nonsense design that promotes ease of use to allow drummers greater unimpeded creativity.

Rather than the pedal becoming a barrier to your playing, Tama wanted to utilise sophisticated simplicity to improve the interaction between the drummer and the kit.

Essentials Only

Tama have included only the essentials in their classic pedal, focussing on the most important attributes required to ensure an easy and comfortable playing feel.

By removing additional technology that may result in a struggle to achieve an enjoyable setup, Tama hoped to achieve increased creativity for the drummer.

It’s true that even with the abundance of technological developments available today, many drummers still prefer to use their beloved vintage pedal. That’s why the design of the Tama classic pedal is inspired by the simplicity of vintage pedal designs.

The Tama Classic Pedal offers superb simplicity for a streamlined single pedal experience.

Smooth Surface Footboard

The Tama HP50 pedal features a newly design classic style footboard.

Featuring a lightweight construction and a smooth playing surface, this Tama single pedal is ideal for all drumming styles.

The streamlined footboard was specifically designed to be easy to play and the weight balanced feel of the pedal serves to achieve a very natural playing response that delivers both power and nuance in abundance.

From full on volume filled 4-to-the-floor beats to delicate, dynamic playing styles, the Tama classic pedal allows you to do it with ease.

Centre Strike Height Adjust

This Tama single bass drum pedal features a nifty height adjustment feature that allows you to quickly and easily set the height of the beater so that it strikes the centre of the bass drum.

From a little 16” kick drum to a 24” bass drum, simply loosen the square head bolt of the side pillar and you can easily change the height of the beater shaft to ensure you’re always hitting the centre of the batter head.

This design feature eliminates the need for bass drum lifters or the need to adjust the length of the beater itself.

A quick and easy design feature that allows seamless transition from kit to kit no matter the kick drum size.

Easy Access Spring Adjustment

The easy adjust spring post of the Tama HP50 single pedal allows you to adjust the spring tension of the pedal without leaving the comfort of your drum throne!

The adjustment spring post is mounted on the top of the pedal which means it’s easily accessible for quick adjustments without having to kneel on the floor as you typically need to when making a pedal adjustment.

Plus, remaining seated when you make the spring tension adjustments means you can check the result of your changes simultaneously, providing yourself with instant feedback to achieve the best setting.

Classic Beater

The Tama classic pedal comes fitted with a traditional style round beater, which features a slightly tapered shape, allowing it to hit the bass drum evenly.

This felt beater provides a full warm bass drum sound with a clear articulation for impactful, punchy attack.

Individual Adjustment of Beater & Foot Angle

Both the beater angle and the footboard angle can be easily adjusted on the Tama classic single pedal to ensure you achieve your most comfortable playing position.

Easily change the angle of the footboard independently to the beater by changing the chain position on the sprocket.

The beater angle can be adjusted easily with the use of a standard drum key.

Easy-Tight Hoop Clamp

This Tama HP50 classic pedal also features an easy-tight hoop clamp which works to ensure a secure connection between the pedal and the bass drum hoop.

The screw to the tighten hoop clamp is located on the outside of the pedal frame, allowing easy access for quick setup and removal.

Compact Folding Design

Another great feature of the Tama classic is that it can be folded down compactly for easy storage in your pedal bag.

Simply tilt the spring post towards the footboard and it becomes a compact right angle triangle making it ideal for neat storage and easy transportation.

Summary

If you’re looking for a simple, no nonsense pedal that incorporates the essential features to make your drumming life easier, then the Tama Classic Pedal is a superb choice.

With a sleek, sophisticated simplicity to its design, the Tama HP50 classic single pedal offers ease of use so that you can forget about the pedal and focus on playing the music you enjoy.
