DW 5000 2-Piece Hardware Pack: Accelerator Pedal and Drum Throne
The 5000PK1 is a two-piece hardware pack: the 5000AD4 double chain bass drum pedal and the 5100 drum throne with a round seat. These are the two pieces a drummer is in constant contact with — the one under the right foot and the one underneath them — and the manufacturer intends them for acoustic and electronic kits alike.
What sets it apart
- Double chain Accelerator single pedal
- Throne with a 13 in round seat, height adjustable from 21 to 28 in
- The drummer's two constant points of contact, renewed at once
- Seat height locked by an oversized nut
- Tri-Pivot clamp on the bass drum hoop
- Designed for acoustic and electronic kits alike
The two pieces you touch from start to finish
A drummer puts the sticks down between songs and takes their hands off the drums, but stays seated with a foot on the footboard. The pedal and the throne are the only two pieces of the kit that are never let go.
They are therefore the ones whose quality you feel the soonest, and the ones whose flaws end up costing the most: a throne that sinks or a pedal that slides ruins a whole night, whatever the drums are worth.
Which kit this pack is right for
It is aimed at the drummer who already has decent cymbal and snare stands, but whose pedal and throne date from their first kit. It is a very common situation: these two pieces are the ones entry-level packs neglect the most.
Replacing them together avoids that lopsided feeling where, even after buying, you can tell something is still off — the other half of the problem.
Two pieces, two long service lives
Neither the pedal nor the throne goes out of date with musical style or kit size. A pedal in this category stays with a drummer for years, even through a complete change of drums.
That is what makes this pack a sound first serious hardware purchase: nothing in it will need to be bought again as the kit evolves.
