INSTRUCTION MANUAL /
Thank you very much for purchasing TAMA
SPEED COBRA drum pedal. For better
understanding of its features and capabilities,
please read through this manual before use. Store
the manual in a convenient place for future
reference.
This equipment is for playing the drums only.
Do not use it for any other purpose, as there is
a risk of injury to other persons or damage to
property.
Take care to keep the drum pedal out of reach
of small children.
There is a risk of injury if the drum pedal is
used barefoot. Please wear suitable footwear.
There is a risk of soiling or damaging floor
surfaces. We recommend placing the drum set
on carpeting or some other floor covering.

Beater holder
Notes
Loosen the square-head bolt 1 of the beater
holder using a tuning key.
Insert the beater shaft and adjust it to the
desired height. Then tighten the bolt to secure
it. The beater head is designed with two
surfaces, one felt and one nylon, to be used at
the performer’s discretion.
When securing the beater, attach the pedal to
the bass drum and press the footboard so that
the beater surface you have chosen makes
contact with the drumhead. Then tighten the
bolt to secure the beater in the correct
position.
Installing the Beater
The pedal unit is attached to the bass drum.
Loosen the bolt of the hoop clamp and fasten
the clamp to the hoop on the bass drum. After
making sure that it is fastened straight, tighten
the bolt again to secure it.
Attaching the Pedal Unit
Hang the spring on the roller 2 of the rocker
cam.
Adjust the spring tension using the nut on the
lower end. When adjusting the spring, first
loosen the locknut, and then turn the adjusting
nut while pressing down on the locknut as in
Fig. 1~2. Tightening the nut makes the pedal’s
resistance heavier, but the beater’s return time
is correspondingly faster.
In order to prevent the spring from loosening
while playing, the adjusting nut engages the
cap attached to the unit roughly every 1/3 of a
turn. Once the desired tension is reached,
secure it by tightening the locknut as in Fig. 3.
Adjusting the Spring
The angle of the beater can be adjusted along
with the angle of the footboard by loosening
the square-headed bolt 3 on top of the rocker
cam. As the angle of the beater is lowered, the
footboard rises. Once the desired angle is
reached, tighten the bolt firmly to secure it. The
factory set-up position is the surface (A) of the
hexagonal shaft is facing up (see photo.3).
The left side beater of the twin-pedal model
(HP310LW) may be adjusted in the same way.
When a more delicate adjustment is needed,
you can adjust the beater angle independently
of the footboard angle by loosening the bolt 4
below the beater holder. This feature is useful
when you wish the footboard angles of both
the hi-hat stand and the left pedal to match.
Adjusting the Beater Angle
Attach the universal joints at the end of the
connecting rod to the pedals. Make sure that
the square-headed bolts for attaching the
connecting rod are on top and on the drum
side for the left pedal, and on top and on the
near side for the right pedal.
When assembling the connecting rod and
connecting tube, make sure that the widest flat
side of connecting rod is facing up (toward the
square headed bolt on top of the tube) as in
the photo at right. After assembly, adjust the
length as desired and re-tighten the bolts
firmly.
Attaching the Connecting Rod (HP310LW)
The Cobra Coil (CC900S) is a spring that assists
the return of the footboard, allowing smoother
and lighter pedal action.
The Cobra Coil can be installed on HP310L or
HP310LW.
