The Tama HP50 Classic Kick Pedal proves that sometimes the most sophisticated engineering lies in elegant simplicity. This drum pedal draws inspiration from beloved vintage models whilst incorporating years of modern research and development, creating a user‐friendly design that stimulates joy and creativity for drummers of all levels.
At the heart of this pedal’s design is a streamlined footboard that’s been meticulously crafted with attention to detail, ensuring comfortable use across any playing style. The innovative height adjustment mechanism allows precise striking at the centre of the drum head, accommodating various bass drum sizes with professional accuracy.
What sets the HP50 apart is its carefully balanced weight distribution, which achieves remarkably natural feel and response without sacrificing power or nuance. This comfortable, intuitive operation allows drummers to focus entirely on their music rather than the mechanics of their equipment, naturally fostering the creative flow that makes great performances possible.
Smooth Surface Footboard
The newly designed classic style footboard features lightweight construction and smooth surface, making it a great choice for any drumming style.
Center Strike Height Adjust
By simply loosening the square head bolt of the side pillar, you can change the height of the beater shaft. This makes it possible to have the beater strike the center of the bass drum without using a bass drum lifter or adjusting the length of the beater.
Easy Access Spring Adjustment
This unique Easy Adjust Spring Post allows you to adjust the spring tension while still sitting on the drum throne because of its top mounted construction. This means you can adjust the tension while actually checking the resulting feel simultaneously.
The Classic Beater
This traditional style round beater has a slightly tapered shape. It allows you to hit the bass drum evenly, and provides a warm sound with clear articulation.
Individual Adjustment of Beater & Footboard Angle
Using a drum key, you can adjust the beater angle as desired. Also, by changing the chain position on the sprocket, you can adjust the footboard angle independently of the beater angle.
Easy-Tight Hoop Clamp
We set the screw to tighten the hoop clamp on the outside of the pedal frame, making it quick and easy to set and remove.
Compact Folding Design
This pedal can be folded compactly to store it in a pedal bag. By tilting the spring post toward you, it becomes a compact right-angle triangle.
