DW 3000 Series Double Bass Pedal

Its all-metal construction, dual-chain Accelerator drive system, swivel toe clamp, adjustable footboard angle, and steel base plates provide dependable feel, stable placement, and practical control. Available from West Coast Drum Shop in Bellevue, WA, this pedal is a strong choice for drummers who want a durable double bass setup with useful DW features.

Product Description

The DW 3000 Series Double Bass Pedal is built to give drummers a solid and versatile double pedal platform with the reliability expected from DW hardware. The all-metal frame and drivetrain provide the strength needed for regular playing, while the updated 3000 Series feature set gives the pedal a more refined feel than a basic starter model. It offers a practical balance of durability, adjustability, and straightforward operation.

The dual-chain Accelerator drive system is designed to increase velocity through the length of the pedal stroke. This gives each note a quick and responsive feel while maintaining the connected stability of a dual-chain design. The pedal also includes Delta stroke adjustment with a ball bearing and detachable spring, allowing players to refine the action and return to better match their technique.

Steel base plates with anti-skid rubber mats help keep both pedals secure during active playing. This is especially important on a double pedal, where consistent placement and feel between the primary and slave pedals can make a major difference in control. The swivel toe clamp helps the pedal attach securely to the bass drum hoop, while the adjustable footboard angle gives the player another useful point of customization.

The included two-way DW101 beaters feature memory locks and adjustable shaft weight, allowing players to shape both feel and attack. Depending on setup and preference, the beaters can provide a more rounded impact or a more focused bass drum note. An included drum key keeps routine setup and adjustment convenient.

Function & Use

The DW 3000 Series Double Bass Pedal is designed for smooth, stable, and repeatable double bass control. The dual-chain Accelerator drive gives the pedal a strong mechanical connection underfoot while supporting a quick stroke that can help with doubles, driving patterns, and more active footwork. The bearing spring rocker assembly allows the spring to follow the motion of each stroke, contributing to a more consistent return.

Under the feet, the 3000 Series feels solid and direct. The steel base plates help both pedals stay planted on a drum rug or stage surface, while the anti-skid rubber mats add grip underneath the pedal assembly. This stable foundation helps reduce unwanted movement, making it easier to focus on timing, balance, and evenness between both feet.

The adjustable footboard angle and Delta stroke adjustment allow the pedal response to be shaped around different playing preferences. A drummer can set the pedals for a more relaxed feel, a quicker return, or a setup that better matches existing single pedal technique. The swivel toe clamp also improves practical setup by helping the primary pedal seat cleanly against the bass drum hoop.

The two-way DW101 beaters add tonal flexibility at the drumhead. Players can choose between different attack characteristics, then use the memory locks and adjustable shaft weight to help preserve a preferred setting. This makes the pedal useful for a wide range of bass drum sounds, from round and full to more focused and defined.
