The Accelerator (A) Drive System offers an eccentric motion that creates an
indirect relationship between the sprocket and the footboard, increasing the
velocity of the pedal by shortening the length of the stroke. It is recommended
for situations that require increased speed and sensitivity.
The Turbo (T) Concentric Drive System maintains a direct relationship between
the sprocket and the footboard to provide a solid, powerful, consistent feel and
response.
The flexibility and relaxed feel of DW’s Nylon Strap (N) Drive System offers
a classic balance and fast, fluid, floating response that continues to make it
the favorite of many traditional and contemporary

Though
DW pedals feel great right out of the box, the goal is to give drummers the
options to customize the pedal any way they want. In addition to the normal
pedal adjustments, DW’s Customizing Kit includes Elevator Heel Stackers, which
allow players to experiment with nine different footboard angles. Also included
are Footboard Weights to modify the throw of the pedal.

5000 Series Double Pedals come in a molded, hard shell case. 5000 Series
Single Pedals include a soft carrying bag.
DW’s
patented Ball-Bearing hinge is the state-of-the-art in hinge design and the
beginning of our Delta Tri-Bearing System. The ball bearings virtually eliminate
friction while keeping perfect alignment so you can feel the footboard working
with you.
