DW 5000AD4 Series Dual Chain Bass Drum Pedal

The original DW 5000 pedal earned its place as an industry standard through reliability, performance, and feel. While not every classic needs to be reinvented, DW has thoughtfully updated key components to meet the evolving demands of today’s drummers—without compromising the core design that made the 5000 legendary.

Modern Upgrades, Timeless Foundation

The latest 5000 Series Accelerator pedal integrates several patented innovations that enhance both function and feel. At the forefront is the Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp, engineered to maintain a secure grip across a wide range of bass drum hoop sizes and angles—providing consistent, slip-free connection. It also features a convenient built-in clip and includes a DW drum key for quick adjustments.

The Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge—crafted from precision-machined, lightweight aluminum—uses dual ball bearings to deliver ultra-smooth pedal motion and improved durability. Complementing this is a double ball bearing spring suspension system that enhances responsiveness and stability underfoot.

With these carefully engineered refinements, the 5000 Accelerator Single Pedal stays true to its roots while offering the performance today’s drummers expect.
