FAQs
What is the main purpose of the TAMA Spring Heavy - HP900-7H?
Its main purpose is to provide high tension for drum bass drum pedals, offering a firmer and more responsive feel for drummers who prefer it.
Is this spring compatible with all bass drum pedals?
It is designed for broad compatibility with standard spring mounting systems, but it's always best to check your specific pedal's manual. It is generally compatible with most Tama pedals.
How do I install this spring?
You will need to detach your pedal, carefully remove the old spring, and then attach the TAMA Spring Heavy to the designated anchor points on the pedal mechanism.
What does 'one size fits all' mean in this context?
It indicates that the spring is designed to fit a wide range of standard pedal configurations without requiring specific sizing modifications to the spring itself.
Can I use this for lighter playing styles?
While possible, this spring is specifically designed for high tension. Drummers preferring a lighter feel might find it too stiff. Consider TAMA's lighter tension springs if this is the case.
What is the color of the spring?
The spring features a multicoloured design.
Does it come as a pair?
No, the TAMA Spring Heavy - HP900-7H comes as a single unit in a pack.
Troubleshooting
Spring feels too stiff or too loose.
Adjust the spring tension mechanism on your drum pedal. If the issue persists, consider if this spring's tension rating is appropriate for your playing style or if another TAMA spring model might be a better fit.
Spring does not fit pedal.
Verify that your pedal uses a standard spring mounting system. Ensure you are attempting to attach it to the correct anchor points on the pedal mechanism. If compatibility issues persist, consult your pedal's manufacturer or consider alternative spring models.
Spring makes noise.
Ensure the spring is correctly seated and not rubbing against any other pedal components. A small amount of lubricant *may* be applied to the anchor points, but avoid direct application on the spring coils themselves, as this can attract dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The TAMA Spring Heavy - HP900-7H is designed to replace the existing spring on most standard bass drum pedals. Ensure the pedal is detached from the bass drum and placed on a stable surface. Carefully remove the old spring, noting its attachment points. Attach the TAMA Spring Heavy, ensuring it is securely connected to both the pedal mechanism and the spring anchor. Test the pedal's tension and responsiveness before reattaching it to the bass drum.
Compatibility: While designed as a universal replacement, it's recommended to check your specific pedal's manual for spring compatibility. It is generally compatible with most Tama pedals and many other brands that use a standard spring mounting system. The 'one size fits all' nature means it's intended to work across a wide range, but minor adjustments might be needed for non-Tama brands.
Care: This component requires minimal care. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage. Cleaning can be done with a dry cloth. Avoid using lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris, potentially affecting performance. Ensure the spring is always securely attached to prevent accidental dislodging during play.
