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.
