Throw a rock at a lineup of professional drummers, and you’re likely to hit a DW 5000. These pedals have been an industry standard for years thanks to their tank-ish builds and smooth actions. And now, DW has upped the ante with its DW 5002 TD4 Turbo. The patented Dual-chain Turbo Sprocket lets this double bass pedal play even quicker and more controlled than past models. So whether you play lively jazz or speed metal, you’ll enjoy quicker single strokes with better dynamics control. Other improvements common to the DW 5000 series include the rubberized Tri-pivot Toe Clamp, which connects securely to hoops via three rotating mounting points, and the Dual Bearing Spring Rockers, which give both sides of the DW 5002 its silky-smooth response.
