Features

Yamaha FP9 Series Features

Quick-Adjusting Cam/Link (Patent Pending)

The chain drive gains tension gradually throughout the stroke as the pedal is depressed. Switching the cam from C1 to C3 reduces the initial tension.

Double Chain Drive (FP-9C, DFP-9C, DFP-9CL)

This durable, reliable double chain drive boasts fluid movement. The cam at the bottom of the chain can be moved into three positions, allowing the drummer to fine-tune the pedal’s action to match their preferred performance. It can also be used as a belt drive by replacing the belt that is included with the pedal.

Direct Drive (FP-9D, DFP-9D)

The direct drive creates a direct link between the footboard and the beater, conveying the movement of the drummer’s foot to the beater instantaneously. The link can be moved into three positions, allowing the drummer to fine-tune the pedal’s action to match their preferred performance.

Axle-Stabilizing Bearing Chamber (Patent Pending)

The frame and bearing cover (blue parts) are independently smoothed and precisely fabricated before assembly, allowing them to be aligned with the central axis of the shaft and ball bearings to unleash a smooth rotation.

Low-Profile Stabilizing Hinge (Patent Pending)

The hinge base and cover (blue parts) are independently smoothed and precisely fabricated before assembly, allowing smooth footboard performance.

Easy-Access Auto-Lock Spring Adjustment (Patent Pending)

Moving the spring adjustment knob upward greatly simplifies the traditionally troublesome tension adjustment process. The knob is locked at a 90-degree angle which prevents it from coming loose on its own.

Weight-Adjustable Beater (U.S. Patent 9685146)

Attaching weights to the beater allows drummers to attain their preferred sound and feel. Aluminum (3g) and brass (9g) weights are both available and can be attached and removed easily.

Independent Beater/Footboard Angle Adjustment

The beater angle and footboard angle can be independently and freely adjusted. The inclusion of an angle checker allows drummers to easily re-create their preferred settings.

Ball Bearing Drive Connection (Patent Pending)

The tip of the footboard comes equipped with ball bearings, allowing even smoother performance.

Anti-Skid Heel Spikes (U.S. Patent 9691367)

The heel of the pedal comes equipped with spikes that prevent slipping when playing and provide improved stability.

All-Bearing Universal Joint (DFP-9D/C/CL)

Newly-designed universal joints add ball bearings to all axes. The seamlessly smooth rotation dramatically improves the action and operability of the secondary pedal.

Secondary Pedal Anchor (DFP-9D/C/CL)

The secondary pedal side also comes equipped with spikes that prevent slipping when playing and ensure stable performance.

Carrying Case

The FP9 Series comes with its own semi-hard carrying case.
