DW 5000 Series 5-Piece Drum Hardware Pack
The DW 5000PK4 is a drum hardware pack: the five pieces you are missing when you buy a shell pack, gathered under a single part number. It includes a bass drum pedal, a two-leg swivel hi-hat stand, an offset snare stand, a straight or boom cymbal stand, and a combination stand that holds both a tom and a cymbal — enough to equip a four-piece kit, acoustic or electronic.
What sets it apart
- Five pieces, all from the same series and at the same level
- Double-chain bass drum pedal included
- Two-leg swivel hi-hat stand
- Offset snare stand, which leaves room for a double pedal
- Tom and cymbal combination stand: two jobs on one tripod
- Listed for a four-piece kit, acoustic or electronic
What the list tells you about the kit it dresses
A hardware list reads like a setup plan. Four pieces means a bass drum, a snare, a rack tom and a floor tom. The bass drum gets the pedal, the snare its stand, the floor tom stands on its own legs, and the rack tom needs something to hold it: that is the job of the combination stand.
That leaves the cymbals. The hi-hat has its own stand; the 5700 holds one cymbal, straight or on a boom as you prefer; the combination stand holds a second. A kit with three cymbals is therefore covered, provided the rack tom goes on the same tripod.
The combination stand and the floor space it gives back
Holding a tom and a cymbal on a single tripod removes three legs from the floor. On a bar stage, in a pit or in a basement rehearsal space, those are exactly the three legs that were fighting the hi-hat stand for room.
The other effect is setup time: one less tripod to unfold, adjust and pack away, eighty times a year. The trade-off is well known — the tom and the cymbal share their post, so moving one without the other takes a bit of finesse.
Acoustic or electronic, the same list
The manufacturer lists this pack for both worlds, and it is not an empty claim. An electronic kit that comes in a box arrives with a light tubular rack, an entry-level pedal and a so-so throne: the module sounds good, the hardware disappoints.
Replacing that hardware with stage-grade gear solves the most common complaint of drummers moving to electronic — that the kit shifts and slides as soon as you play hard — without changing anything about the sounds or the module.

Frequently asked questions
- How many cymbals can I mount with this hardware pack?
- Two, plus the hi-hat: one on the straight or boom stand, one on the combination stand.
- Does the rack tom have to go on the combination stand?
- That is what the pack is designed for. A tom mounted on the bass drum frees the combination stand's arm for another cymbal.
- Is it better value than buying each piece separately?
- The main advantage is consistency: five pieces at the same level, with no weak link to let you down at the first gig.
- Can I add a double pedal later?
- Yes. The offset snare stand is designed precisely to let an auxiliary pedal pass under the drum.
