Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
DW's 5000 Series double bass pedal at $576. For drummers who need two beaters on one bass drum — metal, punk, fusion, anything with fast double-kick work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Metal and hard rock players learning or gigging double-kick patterns
- Drummers with one bass drum who want two-footed control
- Replacing a flexy entry-level double pedal that binds up
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who never play double-bass parts — buy the single and save $329
- Very small kits or tight stages; the slave pedal and driveshaft eat floor space
- Beginners still building basic single-foot control
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
$576 versus $247 for the single
The added cost buys the slave pedal, driveshaft and linkage — not a better primary pedal feel.
Detail 03
5000 Series
DW's working-drummer tier. Above hardware-pack pedals, below their top-line 9000 range.
Detail 04
Slave pedal takes your hi-hat foot
You lose the left foot for hi-hat while double-kicking. Many players add a remote or auxiliary hi-hat.
Detail 05
Driveshaft linkage
Both pedals should be set to matching spring tension and beater height, or the two feet feel uneven.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No bass drum or hi-hat stand included — pedals and linkage only
- 02Both sides need matched tension and beater height or the feel is lopsided
- 03Measure floor space; the slave pedal sits left of your hi-hat stand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use just the main pedal without the slave?
Yes. Detach the driveshaft and play it as a single. Handy for gigs where you don't need double-kick.
02Do I need a second bass drum?
No. A double pedal exists so one bass drum gets two beaters. That's the whole point of the design.
03Where does my hi-hat go?
The hi-hat stand shifts left to clear the slave pedal. Some drummers add a remote or auxiliary hi-hat to keep it reachable.
04Is the double worth $329 more than the single?
Only if you actually play double-kick. If you're unsure, start with the single — nothing is wasted if you upgrade later.
