DW SP017S Square-Head Turbo Hub Screw for 3000, 5000 and 7000 Pedals
This is the Turbo hub screw, on the rocker arm of 3000, 5000 and 7000 Series bass drum pedals. Its head is square: it tightens with the drum key you already have, no extra tool needed. It is the smallest part on the pedal, and without it the pedal stops working.
What sets it apart
- Turbo hub screw, listed for the rocker arm
- Square head: tightens with a drum key
- Listed for 3000, 5000 and 7000 Series pedals
- Chrome finish
- A spare to keep in the pedal bag
The part you only notice the day it goes missing
The Turbo hub is the part that carries the motion of the footboard to the beater. The screw that holds it on the rocker arm works on every stroke and, like any screw under repeated impact, it slowly loosens before it falls out.
When it drops out, the pedal does not break: it simply stops transmitting. Your foot goes down and the beater does not move. It is a dead stop, mid-song, caused by a part that costs a few dollars.
The square head, and why that is good news
A square head tightens with the drum key every drummer already has in the case. No Allen key to hunt for, no size to check: the tool is right there, even in a green room five minutes before showtime.
The good habit that follows: check that it is tight whenever you check spring tension, and keep a spare in the pocket of your pedal bag. It takes up no room and it can save a night.

Frequently asked questions
- Which pedals does it fit?
- The manufacturer lists it for 3000, 5000 and 7000 Series pedals.
- What tool do I need?
- A standard drum key: the head is square, the usual tension rod size.
- What exactly does the Turbo hub do?
- It is the part that carries the motion of the footboard to the beater. The manufacturer lists this screw for the rocker arm hub. It fastens the hub to the arm; without it, the motion of your foot no longer reaches the beater.
- Should I keep a spare?
- It is a sensible habit. It is small, inexpensive, and losing it stops a pedal that is otherwise in perfect shape.
