Tama Iron Cobra 900 Lever Glide Hi-Hat Stand HH905D

The IRON COBRA hi-hat stand is a hi-hat stand developed using the know-how cultivated in drum pedals. It features a light foot press and speedy action thanks to the lever glide system that applies the principle of leverage. The drive mechanism uses a strap for a noiseless design. It
also incorporates various mechanisms such as a spring seat to increase the "crispness" of the sound when closed, and the ability to adjust the footboard angle and spring tension to suit the player's preference.
Furthermore, the 2017 model is newly equipped with a quick-set hi-hat clutch that allows for one-touch attachment and detachment of cymbals. This is TAMA's high-end hi-hat stand that has succeeded in improving the convenience of setup and transport.

FEATURES

We will now introduce in detail the many unique mechanisms incorporated into this vehicle.

Quick-Set Hi-Hat Clutch (US.PAT.NO.9812101)
This clutch allows you to attach and detach the hi-hat top cymbal with a single touch. Simply operate the button on the bottom part to easily set/release the cymbal.

Sliding the red button on the stopper at the bottom of the clutch removes the stopper and felt washer. After attaching the top cymbal, sliding the black button on the stopper locks it in place.

Non-Loosening Tension Rod
The mortar-shaped metal nut and the matching resin nut effectively eliminate loosening and noise from the cymbal rod during performance.

Lever Glide
TAMA's original "Lever Glide" mechanism utilizes the principle of leverage, allowing you to press the pedal with approximately half the force of conventional methods.
In addition to significantly reducing the force required to press the pedal, the lever action also lengthens the stroke of the footplate, allowing you to enjoy more subtle half-open sounds and sharper, tighter closed tones.

Badge Guard Block
The method of securing the bearings at both ends of the hinge shaft has been changed from the conventional method of passing the shaft through the side of the footboard to a method of holding the bearings by sandwiching them from above and below. By distributing the force applied to the bearings when the pedal is pressed, the load on the hinge shaft itself is reduced. This allows for rotation with higher precision than previous models, resulting in unprecedentedly smooth operation.

6-Way Tension Adjustment
The spring tension can be adjusted in six stages by rotating the adjustment dial. You can visually check the tension level. Furthermore, it can be operated with one hand, making adjustments easy even while seated on the throne.

Duo-Spike
You can freely switch between spikes and rubber with a single tuning key to suit the condition of the floor surface.

Swivel Foot
It features a mechanism that allows the two legs to rotate freely, independently of the footboard's orientation. This makes setting up when using twin pedals significantly easier.

Tilt On
It employs a tilt system that allows the stand itself to be tilted by raising or lowering the pivot point of the legs.

Dual Legs
It features a two-legged stand that allows for smooth setup of twin pedals. The two legs support the forward force generated when pressing the footboard, providing exceptional stability even on slippery surfaces.

Duo-spike
The spikes and rubber soles can be switched to suit the condition of the floor surface.

Spare-The-Rods Tension Rod Protector
TAMA's unique storage mechanism involves inserting the tension rod into the upper pipe and securing it with a hi-hat clutch. This prevents deformation of the rod and protects the hi-hat stand from damage during transport.

Footboard Angle Adjustment
It features an adjustable footboard angle, which greatly affects the amount of pressure applied and the resulting sound. Twin pedal setups can also be performed more naturally.

Glide-Tite Grip Joint (US.PAT.NO.9631656)
In the 1970s, we at TAMA developed a joint method using a nylon bushing structure, but we re-examined it from scratch to achieve a natural resonance for cymbals and drums. The result is the "Glide-Tite Grip Joint," a joint structure that combines metal-to-metal fixing with a nylon bushing structure. Because the pipe and joint are fixed metal to metal, the stand becomes a solid and stable structure from the upper to the lower pipe. As a result, cymbals and drums "vibrate" more naturally on a more stable stand, so vibrations generated from the instrument during playing are less likely to escape to the stand, and the instrument's inherent potential is maximized.
When sliding the pipe, the nylon bushing built into the joint contacts the pipe, ensuring smooth movement and preventing damage to the pipe.
