The FP9 series is the flagship model of YAMAHA foot pedals. A new frame design incorporating high-precision parts thoroughly pursues stability in performance. It is equipped with a number of functions that allow you to adjust the feel of the pedal to suit your playing style, making it suitable for drummers of all styles. Kick Pedal for Drums. Nylon belt, beater weight, drum key, dedicated semi-hard case. The “Double Chain Drive” is characterized by its natural and smooth pedal action. The cam at the bottom of the double chain can be adjusted in three stages, allowing you to choose the cam position that best suits your playing style and enables the optimal pedal action. In addition, you can choose the feel of the pedal to your liking by changing to the included belt drive. The double chain drive applies even tension each time the pedal is pressed. By changing the cam from C1 to C3, it is possible to set the action at the start of the pedal stroke to be lighter. Newly designed high-precision segmented frame structure. Blue parts that have been precisely machined are used as the parts that insert the ball bearings. By combining the blue parts with the flat-processed frame, the blue parts with built-in ball bearings are arranged in a single row with high precision. By arranging them in a single row with high precision, the rattling of the ball bearings is prevented, and smooth operation of the rocker shaft is achieved. By thoroughly pursuing precision in the details, we have made it possible for the ball bearings and rocker shaft to rotate more smoothly. It responds accurately to foot pedal work using various playing techniques, providing powerful support for drummers. Auto-lock spring tension adjustment. The design of the spring tension adjustment section has been changed. The upward-facing design makes it easy for drummers to adjust the spring tension while seated on a stool. The adjustment knob locks in place every 90 degrees to prevent loosening during performance. In addition, the adjustment section swings, allowing for more natural spring expansion and contraction. The footboard and beater angle adjustment sections have been designed to be independent, allowing you to set them at any angle you like. In addition, the memory line allows you to check the angle, making it easy to reproduce your preferred settings at any time. High-precision low-position heel structure. A design that lowers the heel position has been adopted. The footboard’s stability is improved by mounting a cover (blue part) that has been processed with high precision at the hinge. Enabling smooth pedal work. A ball bearing is installed in the part that connects to the drive at the end of the footboard. This has made playing even smoother. The footboard heel is fitted with a spike to prevent the foot pedal from slipping during performance, and to further improve stability and operability. Original beater / dedicated weights. The FP9’s original beater can be fitted with a special weight at the bottom. By attaching the included aluminum (3g) and brass (9g) weights, you can expand the range of your sound and performance. All FP9 models come with one dedicated compact semi-hard case. International Buyers – Please Note.
