The choice of a Power Glide cam clearly places it on the "performance" side of feel, with a progressive response appreciated both in rehearsal and on stage, while remaining easy to adjust and maintain.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This bass drum pedal is particularly suited for drummers at an advanced beginner to intermediate level who want a responsive pedal without overly complex mechanics.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Power Glide cam increase stroke speed?
The Power Glide acceleration cam increases the beater speed as it approaches impact. This design promotes a strong attack and controlled playing at a fast tempo.

The double-sided felt/rubber beater allows for adapting the bass drum attack. The felt side produces a rounder and more natural sound, with a more open low end. The rubber side enhances attack definition, especially as tempo increases.

The pedal is compatible with the optional Cobra Coil return spring system.
Is this pedal suitable for rock and metal?
Designed for advanced beginner to intermediate drummers, this single-chain pedal is suitable for rock, pop, metal, and punk styles. The Power Glide meets the precision and rebound requirements of these genres.
Can the beater stroke length be adjusted on this Tama pedal?
The beater angle is adjustable to change the stroke length and contact point. This allows tailoring the feel for heel-up, heel-down playing, or double strokes.
