TAMA Dyna-Sync Series Direct-Drive Twin Bass-Drum Pedal

The result of tireless efforts by TAMA to improve the direct-drive pedal system for maximum versatility, the Dyna-Sync Series Twin Pedal uses a newly designed direct drive, the Dynamic Synchronization System, to provide a balance of three critical performance elements: power, speed, and feel. With an optimized transmission system that utilizes a dual-linkage connection and a slidable cam, you get a design that delivers the immediate response typical of direct drives while overcoming the feel and power challenges inherent in many other direct-drive pedals.

Along with the unique custom drive system and a hefty Sync-Coil for quick return, TAMA also includes a number of extra features from the Iron Cobra series, such as flexible footboard angle adjustment, a durable Oiles-brand bearing and hinge guard, and a Spring Tight and Speedo-Ring spring-tension system. You also get the Para-Clamp II Pro bass-drum clamp mount for clamping to the widest possible range of drum hoops without causing scratches.

Optimized Transmission System

By precisely positioning and aligning the contact point transmission angles between the cam, direct link, and footboard, TAMA achieved the perfect overall balance of power, speed, and feel.

Dual Linkage

To convert rotational motion force from footboard to cam, TAMA developed a sturdy double-link cam connection system that holds the rotation axis bearings equally from both sides. This produces almost perfect energy transfer from the footboard to the cam and creates phenomenal reaction speed and power.

Slidable Cam

The upper cam section slides back and forth in a nonstep action to adjust the cam-turning radius. A larger turning radius provides for a more linear motion between footboard and beater and results in a high-degree of sensitivity for nuanced performance.

The smaller turning radius results in a more dynamic (nonlinear) motion. The Slidable Cam promotes a highly personalized and connected feel tailored to widely diverse playing styles.

Footboard Angle Adjustment

Drummers have come to recognize and appreciate independent bass-drum footboard-angle adjustment as an important function to help customize a personal feel. This inspired TAMA to focus on the Dyna-Sync design and create a completely new and unique footboard angle adjustment. The Dyna-Sync footboard angle design integrates into the clam-shaped connection point between linkage and footboard and is fully adjustable to deliver a totally personalized pedal angle adjustment.

Sync-Coil

The Sync-Coil is a 1.5x heavier gauge steel spring compared to the established Cobra Coil. The Sync-Coil assists the return of the footboard to the original position to provide an extra element of quickness to the pedal and slides on the bass plate so drummers can customize their own level of pedal return assistance.

Dyna Beater

Featuring black felt and a slightly tapered shape, this traditional style beater provides impact to the bass-drum head surface evenly to maximize clear dynamic articulation.

Swivel Spring Tight

The conventional approach to the spring assembly has been to anchor the bottom of the spring while the top of the spring is being pulled from various angles throughout the pedal's cycle. But a spring being pulled at an angle represents wasted energy and causes turbulence.

The Swivel Spring Tight assembly solves this problem, recapturing that lost energy and optimizing smoothness through the use of a contoured assembly that allows the base to swivel freely with the spring. This enables a straight spring pull during the pedal's entire cycle, resulting in the smoothest and lightest action ever found on a bass-drum pedal.

Hinge Guard Block

TAMA has changed the construction of the Bearing Hinge on the footplate from a one-piece assembly to two pieces, which holds the bearing more evenly, minimizing stress and maximizing smoothness while adding to the pedal's sense of power.

Oiles Bearing Hinge

Oiles bearing hinges create far less friction than standard ball bearings. They also eliminate unwanted side-to-side motion while providing superior durability.

Speedo-Ring

TAMA eliminated another source of friction by replacing the traditional nylon rocker cam with the Speedo-Ring, a rocker cam with a high-quality built-in ball-bearing rocker.

Para-Clamp II Pro

TAMA now introduces Para-Clamp II, an even more clever and useful version of the popular original. The Para-Clamp II is capable of gripping the widest variety of bass-drum hoops ever.

The improvement is largely due to its newly designed three-dimensional rubber grip. Holding power is increased and the possibility of scratching the hoop is eliminated. Setup and breakdown are easily facilitated while sitting on a throne, because the T-bolt of the Para-Clamp II Pro is on the side of the footboard rather than under it.
