An elongated footboard design adds increased power and agility to time-honored Accelerator performance in the DW 5000 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, a Delta ball-bearing aluminum hinge for reduced drag, and a non-skid rubber grip 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 5000 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 grip prevents bass drum creep





A non-skid rubber base keeps your 5000 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 5000 AD4XF’s base as you need them.





Dual Bearing Spring Rocker delivers exceptional smoothness





DW’s innovative Dual Bearing Spring Rocker makes 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 5000 AD4XF Accelerator Extended Footboard.
