DW has re-engineered the 5000 Series Single Turbo Bass Pedal that established their reputation for innovation and quality. Known for innovation, DW thought it time for some major improvements. Most notably, the toe clamp. The 5000 needed more gripping strength, providing a stronger connection between the drummer and kick drum. So, DW developed the Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp. The clamp features three independent 360 degree, rotating rubber pads firmly pinch almost any diameter and thickness bass drum counter hoop from the top and the bottom, with zero slippage. Add to that a new textured rubber grip pad on the base plate and you’ll agree that there’s never been a better system for attaching a pedal to a bass drum.
