Tama HP600D Bas pedale

Tama Iron Cobra HP600D — One Pedal, Two Cam Feels

The Tama Iron Cobra HP600D single bass drum pedal is built around a reversible Duo Glide cam that lets drummers switch between a round Rolling Glide sprocket and an offset Power Glide sprocket without swapping pedals. This 600 series shares its double chain drive with the flagship 900 line, so power transfer stays direct and consistent. A brass-sleeved hinge keeps footboard motion fluid for fast doubles and triples.

What Sets the Iron Cobra 600 Apart

Built around the reversible Duo Glide cam, this pedal lets a single lug nut under the beater release the cam so players can snap in either the Power Glide or Rolling Glide sprocket. The Speedo-Ring replaces the traditional nylon rocker cam with a ball bearing assembly, cutting friction in the drive train. A Spring Tight half-moon rod keeps the return spring from twisting through every stroke.

Drive Train and Cam Geometry

Cam profile defines how a pedal feels from the first millimeter of footboard travel, so a swappable cam is the most direct way to tune stroke character.

• Duo Glide Cam: Reversible Power Glide / Rolling Glide — offset sprocket for power and speed, round sprocket for smooth linear feel
• Drive Type: Double chain drive — same chain as the Iron Cobra 900 series
• The Speedo-Ring, featuring a built-in ball bearing, replaces the standard nylon rocker cam to significantly reduce drive train friction.

Hinge, Spring, and Hoop Clamp

Pedal feel is shaped as much by the hinge, spring, and clamp as by the cam.

• Hinge: Cylindrical brass sleeve — protects the hinge pin and keeps footboard motion fluid
• Spring Tight half-moon rod — prevents the return spring from twisting so power transmission stays consistent
• The Para-Clamp with a rotating head is specifically engineered to adapt to any bass drum hoop angle.

Adjustability and Setup

Setup stays simple thanks to tool-free beater angle adjustment and a clamp that adapts to standard bass drum hoop profiles.

• Beater Angle: Adjustable via lug nut — tune the strike point without removing the cam
• Cam swap via single lug nut under the beater — release and snap in a new sprocket in seconds
• The HP600D is a single pedal configuration that players can easily pair with a second unit for double-kick setups.
