MusicRadar's got your back
Tama has packed a myriad of useful features into this solid and professional model. The footplate can be rotated to aid positioning of other pedals or stands, and its angle is easily adjustable with a drum key. The staggered patented five-way tension adjustment to the direct pull action chain linkage makes small changes to the feel consistent and secure.
Tubing is substantial and Tama's patented non-loosening tension rod can be safely housed in the upper section pipe for transport. Well thought out or what?
