TAMA HP310LBC – Speed Cobra 310 Single Pedal

The TAMA Speed Cobra 310 HP310LBC is a single bass drum pedal in a limited Black & Copper finish. It takes the long-footboard concept associated with the Speed Cobra family and brings it into a practical, accessible design for drummers who want a comfortable response for quick patterns and consistent bass drum strokes. This special edition uses a matte black look with brushed copper accents, giving it a distinctive appearance while keeping the main focus on pedal performance.

Long footboard for comfortable playing

The extended footboard offers additional room to position your foot depending on your technique. Players can experiment with playing nearer the hinge or towards the front of the board to find a comfortable balance between speed and control. A longer board is particularly useful to explore heel-toe or other techniques that involve moving the foot during a pattern, though good posture and consistent practice remain the most important factors for accurate playing.

Double-chain drive and pedal response

The Speed Cobra 310 uses a double-chain drive intended to provide solid, predictable movement between the footboard and beater. TAMA’s recessed footboard setting and lightweight sprocket design are arranged to create a smooth pedal feel and reduce the effort needed for repeated strokes. The spring-tension adjustment lets you experiment with a faster or softer return. Rather than expecting a pedal to create speed automatically, adjust its response to match your technique.

Power-Strike Cobra beater

A TAMA Power-Strike Cobra beater delivers the impact that turns foot movement into bass drum sound. The beater angle and distance from the head affect attack and rebound, so careful adjustment can make the pedal feel more natural on your particular drum. Drummers moving from a basic pedal should spend time experimenting with tension and striking position before making large changes. A consistent setup helps avoid unnecessary effort during long rehearsals.

Limited Black & Copper finish and buying advice

The HP310LBC is the single-pedal version of TAMA’s limited-edition Black & Copper range, not the double-pedal HP310LWBC. The difference is important if your playing requires two beaters. Make sure your bass drum hoop, playing position and available space suit the pedal, and plan time for adjustments after installation. This model suits drummers seeking a dependable single pedal with a long board and distinctive styling. Barbad can help with model comparisons and UAE delivery information.
