Update of a Legendary Pedal

DW's 5000AD4 kick pedal gives you all the features that made the 5000 Series legendary among drummers worldwide. The 5000AD4's Accelerator Drive system creates an indirect relationship between the sprocket and footboard for maximum velocity and excellent sensitivity. You'll love the improvements DW designed into the 5000AD4, such as the innovative rubberized Tri-pivot Toe Clamp, a textured rubber grip pad on the base plate, and the Dual-Bearing Spring Rocker that serves up silky smoothness. On top of these great enhancements, the DW 5000AD4 can be customized to your personal playing style!

DW 5000AD4 Kick Pedal at a Glance:
  • Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp - secure, and gentle to your hoop
  • Rubber grip prevents bass drum creep
  • Dual-Bearing Spring Rocker for exceptional smoothness
Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp - secure, and gentle to your hoop

The DW 5000AD4 kick pedal features DW's Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp system - which ensures that the pedal and bass drum stay connected - no matter what hoop size or angle. The three contact points of the clamp system are covered in rubber and articulate to the angle of the hoop at their points of contact. The result? You get a secure connection (no matter how raucous the gig), and your hoops stay undamaged.

Rubber grip prevents bass drum creep

The 5000AD4's non-skid rubber grip will keep your pedal firmly planted wile remaining easily adjustble. There's no longer the hook and loop strip to hinder fine positioning and collect pet hair (and goodness knows what else). DW is listening to what drummers like you are saying, and while some may have preferred strips permanently attached to the base plate, it's clear that most found it annoying. But hey, with the 5000AD4's non-skid rubber grip, you can still attach the strips as you need them.

Dual-Bearing Spring Rocker for exceptional smoothness

The DW 5000AD4 kick pedal serves up amazing smoothness. DW added an innovative Dual Bearing Spring Rocker - making the 5000 even quicker and more responsive, with just the right amount of drag on the rebound. For exceptional smoothness, responsiveness, and reliability, the DW 5000AD4 is hard to beat! Check it out.

DW 5000AD4 Kick Pedal Features:
  • Accelerator Cam for maximum velocity and excellent sensitivity
  • Legendary 5000 Series dependability
  • Great feel - ultra-smooth and fast, with the perfect amount of drag on the rebound
  • Rubberized Tri-pivot Toe Clamp - secure, and easy on your bass drum hoop
  • Textured rubber grip pad on the base plate - no fastening strips required
Kick with a legend: the The DW 5000AD4 bass drum pedal!

Rated 5/5

I really like this pedal.

I was using a 1969 Rogers bass drum pedal and finally got around to updating my equipment. Right out of the box this is a really nice paddle. I didn't make any adjustments to it and I am 100% satisfied.
Music background: I have played drums since second grade all through school and college. So basically, I never stop playing drums.
Rated 5/5

I really like this paddle.

I really like this paddle. It was super easy to put on the bass drum. It's a major upgrade from my 69 Rogers bass drum pedal.
Music background: Play drums in second grade one point I was a performance major
Rated 5/5

Smooth & Quiet

Smooth and quiet pedal right out of the box.
Adapts easily to many playing positions to soft to faster/louder volumes.
Cons: small parts and tools might get misplaced. Bag would be helpful for transport. Want a different feel means a different pedal.
Music background: 55-years a drummer: country, Gospel, jazz, etc.
Rated 5/5

Smooth!

Best pedal I have used! It is so fast and smooth, I feel like I am in complete control of my bass drum. This pedal is sturdy and noiseless. I really like the way it clamps to both my kick drums, which are very different in design.
I am so pleased!
Music background: 60 years a drummer. Retired from 35 years a Band Director plus 8 years a music store schools rep.
