We’ve re-engineered thepedal that established our reputation for innovation and quality. Because innovation is partof our DNA we thought it was time for some major improvements. Most notably, the toeclamp. The 5000 needed more gripping strength, providing a stronger connection betweenthe drummer and kick drum. So, we developed the Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp. Three independent360 degree, rotating rubber pads firmly pinch almost any diameter and thickness bass drumcounter hoop from the top and the bottom, with zero slippage. Add to that a new texturedrubber grip pad on the base plate and we think you’ll agree that there’s never been a bettersystem for attaching a pedal to a bass drum. Last, but certainly not least, we wanted toimprove on the smoothness and feel of the 5000, if that was even possible. To accomplish this,we added a Dual Bearing Spring Rocker, making the 5000 quicker and more responsive.
