Get to know them!





An elongated footboard design adds increased power and agility to time-honored Accelerator performance in the DW 5002 AD4XF ("Extended Footboard"). Now you can access full-length windups and easier heel-toe doubles with the same AD4 response and durability you trust. The AD4XF's Accelerator Drive system creates an indirect relationship between the sprocket and footboard for maximum velocity and sensitivity. Through this one cam and DW's legendary customization, players can unlock an incredible range of power, speed, and precision. As with the AD4 Standard, the AD4XF gets you DW's Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp for secure hoop linkage, Delta ball-bearing aluminum hinges for reduced drag, and nonskid rubber grips for movement resistance on wood, concrete, or carpet.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Tri-pivot Toe Clamp is rock solid and hoop safe





The DW 5002 AD4XF features DW's Tri-pivot Toe Clamp. This system ensures that your pedal and bass drum stay connected, no matter what hoop size or angle. The three rotating contact points are covered in rubber and articulate to the angle of the hoop at their points of contact. The result? You get a secure connection no matter how raucous you play, and your hoops stay undamaged.





Rubber grips prevent bass drum creep





Non-skid rubber bases keep your 5002 AD4XF planted to the floor without the hook-and-loop tape of past systems. This protects delicate carpeting and prevents pet hair, etc, from collecting on the underside of your pedal. Prefer the tape? No problem. Standard hook-and-loop strips will attach to the DW 5002 AD4XF's base plates as you need them.





Dual-bearing Spring Rockers delivers exceptional smoothness





DW's innovative Dual Bearing Spring Rockers make the AD4XF kick pedal even quicker and more controlled, with just the right amount of drag on the rebound. For exceptional smoothness, responsiveness, and reliability at a middle-of-the-road price, Sweetwater drummers are quick to recommend the DW 5002 AD4XF Accelerator Extended Footboard.





Universal Assembly linkage is built strong and swift





Linkage assemblies can be pretty underwhelming in lesser double pedals. But not so with the DW 5002 AD4XF. DW's Universal Assembly is made from aircraft-grade aluminum for durability and maximum transfer of motion from the slave side. Includes a memory lock.
