Yamaha FP7210A Single Chain Bass Drum Pedal (FP7210A) - No Box

The Yamaha FP7210A is a single-chain bass drum pedal from Yamaha’s 700 Series hardware range. It’s built to be light, reliable, and easy to play — ideal for drummers who want a straightforward kick pedal that feels consistent, travels well, and doesn’t cost silly money. 

The FP7210A uses a single chain drive with a horizontal frame brace for stability, an adjustable beater angle so you can dial in the feel, and classic Yamaha hard felt beater for a round, warm attack. It also folds down, and the open frame (no full base plate) keeps the weight and bulk down in your hardware bag. 

This is the kind of pedal working drummers keep as a main pedal for lightweight gigs or as a dependable spare in the hardware case. Shops and backline companies rate Yamaha hardware in general for being tougher than the price suggests.

Key Features

• Single chain drive
  Classic single-chain feel with a direct, predictable response. This layout is simple, proven, and easy to service on the road.

• Adjustable beater angle
  You can fine-tune how the beater sits against the head using a standard drum key. That lets you set how hard it hits and how much rebound you get, instead of being stuck with one factory angle. 

• Adjustable spring tension
  The return spring can be tightened or loosened to match how fast you want the pedal to come back under your foot. 

• Horizontal frame brace
  A stabiliser bar ties the frame together so the pedal doesn’t twist under heavier playing. This helps the FP7210A feel more solid than most “entry-level” pedals. 

• Hard felt beater
  Supplied with a traditional felt beater head (roughly 1 1/8" high x 2" diameter) for a punchy but warm kick tone that works in rehearsal rooms, pubs, and recording. 

• Lightweight, foldable design
  No heavy base plate. The open-frame / heel-post design folds down flat, so it packs easily with the rest of your Yamaha 700 Series hardware. Perfect for players who carry their own kit to rehearsals and small gigs. 

• 700 Series hardware
  Part of Yamaha’s 700 Series — known for solid gigging reliability without the weight and cost of their touring/pro lines. 

Why Choose This Pedal

If you’re playing pubs, rehearsals, function gigs, school shows, worship sets, or you just need a solid spare that won’t fight you, this pedal makes a lot of sense. It’s quick under the foot, the action is consistent, and it doesn’t feel cheap or wobbly like some budget pedals.

Compared with a heavier double-chain or longboard pedal, the FP7210A is easier to carry, folds flatter, and still gives you spring tension and beater-angle control. In other words, it’s affordable without feeling “throwaway,” which is why a lot of drummers keep one in the hardware bag as insurance.
