DW 5000AD4 BASS DRUM PEDAL

Kicking pedals to the next level

The original DW 5000 kick drum pedal is one of the most highly revered and time-tested pieces of drum kit hardware on the planet. Now DW has plowed its considerable innovation-driven efforts into the re-engineering of its flagship pedal with a series of major improvements that are nothing short of flam-tastic. The Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp features three independent rotating clamps, ensuring a snug fit that won’t trash your hoops in the process. The Velcro bottom strip has been replaced with a nonskid rubber grip, making for faster adjustments on dimly lit stages. But what 5000 fans will love most is the improved response and feel. We A-B’d the 5000AD4 against the original and were blown away by the dramatic increase in speed and control, thanks to the new Dual Bearing Spring Rocker.
