DW's 5000 Series Double Pedal is built around the Accelerator Drive system, which uses an eccentric motion to shorten the stroke length and increase velocity and sensitivity. It also uses a Tri-Pivot toe clamp for a secure, non-slip grip across bass drum hoop sizes and angles, plus a dual-bearing spring rocker for smooth, fast response. This pedal is aimed at drummers who want adjustable feel and strong speed/attack performance for double-kick playing. ★ Ideal forDifferent acoustic bass drum pedals mainly vary in drive feel (direct vs chain and eccentric vs concentric) and stroke behavior; this DW 5000 Series double pedal uses an eccentric Accelerator dual-chain setup that shortens the stroke for higher velocity and sensitivity, while also pairing it with a Tri-Pivot toe clamp for consistent hoop contact that affects how the pedal responds. |
