Smooth, stable, and highly adjustable, the TAMA HP900RN Iron Cobra Rolling Glide kick drum pedal is suitable for any drummer, any style. The Iron Cobra's design eliminates unwanted friction - you'll feel phenomenal smoothness and striking power every time you stomp on it, and you can easily adjust the feel according to your personal playing preferences. The drummers here at Sweetwater dig the LiteSprocket design (adopted from their iconic Speed Cobra series), which is 40% lighter than the previous Iron Cobra cam. The Power-Strike Cobra Beater delivers optimized beater action and an epic-sounding kick tone, while the Para Clamp II Pro keeps the HP900RN Iron Cobra Rolling Glide pedal firmly connected to your bass drum.

Cobra Coil for a fast, smooth return





Tightening your pedal spring to adjust your beater stroke results in heavy, sluggish action. But what else can you do? The Cobra Coil solves this problem by utilizing a steel return spring to constantly press your footboard to its original position. The result is a firm, tight relationship between your foot and the pedal. Additionally, the Cobra Coil can be adjusted to different positions on the Iron Cobra footboard baseplate.





LiteSprocket delivers smooth, precise feel





To make the HP900RN Rolling Glide the fastest Iron Cobra yet, TAMA incorporated the LiteSprocket design from their Speed Cobra series. It's 40% lighter than the previous Iron Cobra cam, making it one of the smoothest and most responsive kick drum pedals you'll find at Sweetwater. The smoothly rounded shape of the Rolling Glide's cam is the key to its smooth, responsive feel.





Para Clamp II Pro attaches firmly and safely to your drum





Attach the HP900RN to your kick drum, and you can be sure it's not going anywhere. Rubber clamping surfaces protect your drum's hoop while holding it firmly in place, even after a long set.
