Drum Workshop Foot Pedal 5000 Series Accelerator

An industry standard gets even betterDW have re-engineered the pedal that established their reputation for innovation and quality. With innovation as part of their DNA, DW thought it was time for some major improvements. Most notably, the toe clamp. The 5000 required more gripping strength, providing a stronger connection between the drummer and kick drum. So, they’ve developed the Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp, featuring three independent 360 degree, rotating rubber pads firmly pinch almost any diameter and thickness bass drum counter hoop from the top and the bottom, with zero slippage.

A new textured rubber grip pad has also been added to the base plate and we think you’ll agree that there’s never been a better system for attaching a pedal to a bass drum. Last but not least, DW wanted to improve on the smoothness and feel of the 5000, if that was even possible. To accomplish this, they have added a Dual Bearing Spring Rocker, making the 5000 quicker and more responsive.

A dual-chain Accelerator drive system has also been added. With an eccentric motion that creates an indirect relationship between the sprocket and the footboard, shortening the length of the stroke, and increasing velocity and sensitivity. Featuring a host of refinements and upgrades, the legendary 5000 Series Bass Drum Pedals still feature aluminum hex shafts, pedal plates and linkages, our patented Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge, and the versatile Two-Way Beater.
