Fans of the classic DW 5000 kick pedal are sure to enjoy the DW Accelerator 5002AH4 double pedal from Sweetwater. A reduced retro footboard design and single-chain, sprocket-drive action give this pedal a decidedly snappier, more whiplike response ? one that's much truer to the original DW 5000. You still get all the advancements of the modern DW Accelerator era, including a Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp for secure hoop linkage, Delta ball-bearing aluminum hinge for reduced drag, and nonskid rubber grip for movement resistance on wood, concrete, or carpet. A pair of 2-way felt/plastic beaters come stock on the DW 5002AH4 Accelerator single-chain bass pedal, providing your choice of classic or modern kick drum tones.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp is secure and gentle on your hoop





The DW 5002AH4 features DW's Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp. This system ensures that your pedal and bass drum stay connected, no matter the size or angle of your hoop. The three rotating contact points 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 raucously you play, and your hoops stay undamaged.





Rubber grip prevents bass drum creep





A nonskid rubber base keeps your 5002AH4 planted without the hook-and-loop tape of past systems. This protects delicate carpeting and prevents pet hair, dirt, etc, from collecting on the underside of your pedal. Prefer the tape? No problem. Standard hook-and-loop strips will attach to the 5002AH4's base if you need them.
