At TAMA, the tireless product team has immersed their activity in direct drive bass drum pedals. Direct drive pedals provide a unique benefit - immediate energy conversion and accelerated beater movement. However, the TAMA product team realized the opportunity to design a direct drive pedal with perfect balance and alignment of three critical performance elements: Power–Speed–Feel.
They identified three critical design components: The direct drive linkage, the drive cam, and the drive/footboard connection angle. Work was then completed with a stylistically diverse group of TAMA artists to further the understanding of what high-level players want and need from a direct drive pedal. The back-and-forth product team/artist dialog allowed TAMA to master subtle mechanical relationships and angle alignments. This ultimately revealed a design method to overcome feel and power challenges that they feel are inherent to some other direct drive pedals. They named this mechanical design the Dynamic Synchronization System. TAMA's Dyna-Sync pedal defines a new power-speed-feel balance in a direct drive pedal and shatters direct drive pedal assumptions.
