Product Description

The DW 5000 Series Double Bass Pedal Accelerator Drive is built for drummers who want a responsive double pedal with strong construction, smooth mechanical action, and dependable setup control. The 5000 Series has long been one of DW's central hardware families, and this model includes several refinements designed to improve grip, motion, stability, and footboard response.

The dual-chain Accelerator drive system uses an eccentric cam design that shortens the stroke length as the pedal moves through its motion. In practical terms, this gives the pedal a quicker feel and a more immediate response under the foot. For players working with fast doubles, detailed bass drum phrasing, or dynamic foot control, the Accelerator design helps translate foot movement into quick beater action while retaining the solid feel of a chain-driven pedal.

The Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp improves hoop contact with three independent, 360-degree rotating rubber pads. This design helps the clamp adapt to different bass drum hoop diameters and thicknesses, creating secure grip and reducing slippage during playing. A textured rubber pad on the base plate adds another point of stability, helping the pedal stay planted through steady use.

DW's Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge and Dual-Bearing Spring Rocker are designed to support smoother, more responsive motion through the footboard and spring system. Aluminum hex shafts, pedal plates, and linkages help keep the pedal structure strong while maintaining a responsive feel. The included two-way beaters give the player practical tonal flexibility, allowing different attack options depending on head choice, tuning, and musical setting.

The single post casting design on the auxiliary side allows closer placement of the slave pedal to the hi-hat pedal. This can make movement between pedals feel more natural and can help drummers position their double pedal setup more comfortably in relation to the rest of the kit.

Function & Use

The DW 5000 Series Double Bass Pedal Accelerator Drive is designed for fast response, reliable power transfer, and stable double pedal placement. The Accelerator cam gives the pedal a quick feel by increasing velocity through the stroke, which can help with faster passages, articulate doubles, and responsive single-foot phrasing. The dual-chain drive keeps the action solid and controlled, making the pedal feel connected under the foot.

The hinge and spring system play an important role in how the pedal responds during repeated strokes. The Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge supports smooth footboard movement, while the Dual-Bearing Spring Rocker helps the spring action feel more efficient. Together, these features help the pedal return consistently and respond clearly to subtle foot pressure, strong accents, and fast patterns.

The Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp and textured base plate are useful for keeping the pedal secure on the bass drum. A stable pedal reduces unwanted movement and helps the player maintain consistent beater placement, stroke feel, and timing. This is especially important with double bass playing, where small shifts in pedal position can affect comfort and control.

For players balancing double pedal placement with hi-hat access, the single post casting design helps position the auxiliary pedal closer to the hi-hat pedal. This makes the pedal easier to integrate into a complete setup, especially when quick foot movement between pedals is part of the player's technique.
