DW 5000 Double Pedal (Classic Single-Chain Accelerator)

£649.00

Our company was basically founded on the 5000 pedal and we’ve always considered ourselves a pedal company first. I’m really proud of this new pedal and we’ve only improved upon an already good thing. We were really careful not to reinvent the wheel.

DW 5000 Double Pedal (DW5002AH4)

Not content with the success of their 5000 series single pedal, the first DW 5000 double pedal arrived onto the American market around 1983, with its ingenious slave-side add-on and bent slave-side beater shaft! Since then, designs improved and changed to the standard double pedal units we see today. It is probably fair to say, during the late 1980s every other manufacturer was looking towards DW to see what their next design in double pedal engineering would be before actually taking the plunge themselves. By the mid 1990s, the DW 5000 double pedal was by far, the most natural feeling double pedal on the market and remains a best-seller today.

Known as an industry standard in drum pedals, DW have made many subtle changes to the 5000 series over the years, resulting in better performing pedals whilst retaining their original, unique identity. The DW 5000 double pedal 5002AH4 model is the classic Accelerator pedal design, no doubt reissued due to high demand for the simple design. Many drummers thought the mandatory introduction of the wider footplate and dual-chain sprocket on the 5000 series was a step too far away and have welcomed the return of the classic DW pedal.

At this point in pedal design, you either stop here and realise it doesn’t really get any better, or start questioning whether it’s the pedal or your foot technique at fault, because we can guarantee, a DW 5000 is all the pedal you should ever need.
