Tama HP30TW Bass Drum Double Pedal

Tama HP30TW Bass Drum Double Pedal — Pro Pedal Tech at Entry-Level Money

The Tama HP30TW Bass Drum Double Pedal is a Stage Master Series twin pedal that borrows its offset Power Glide cam from TAMA's Iron Cobra 900. A single-chain drive keeps the action smooth, while a universal-joint drive shaft transfers motion from the slave pedal to the second beater. For drummers stepping into double bass, this pedal delivers real engineering at a budget-tier price.

Standout Features Borrowed from the Iron Cobra Line

Most pedals in this segment ship with a fixed beater angle and basic tension hardware. The HP30TW breaks that pattern with a linkage-based Beater Angle Adjustment system and Spring Tight non-slipping tension nuts.

Drive System & Cam — Speed Where It Counts

The single-chain excentric drive paired with the offset Power Glide cam is the headline feature. The cam's shape pushes the beater harder in the final third of the stroke.

• Drive Type: Single chain — smooth action, easy maintenance
• Cam Shape: Power Glide (offset) — borrowed from the Iron Cobra 900
• Drive Shaft: Universal joint — links slave to main pedal

Beater & Adjustment — Tuning the Response

The DS30 beater is two-way: rotate to felt for a softer sound, or flip to plastic for louder attack. Both beater angle and spring tension are user-adjustable.

• Beater: DS30 dual-sided (felt / plastic) — two distinct sounds from one beater head
• Beater Angle: Adjustable — fine-tunes beater excursion and pedal travel
• Spring Tension: Adjustable with Spring Tight nuts — locks in rebound without slipping

Build, Weight & Setup

At 3.42 kg, the HP30TW is light enough to transport easily but heavy enough to stay planted during fast double-kick passages. Rubber grip on the base replaces carpet spikes on the slave side.

• Weight: 3.42 kg — portable yet stable under aggressive playing
• Floor Plate: Not included — mounts directly to the bass drum hoop
• Series: Stage Master — TAMA's entry-level hardware line with pro-tier features
