DW Bass Drum Pedal Delta 3

DW 5000 Series Delta 3 Bass Drum Pedal

The Delta 3 is available in two distinct cam configurations, each designed for a fundamentally different playing experience:
Accelerator Drive (AD3 / AD4) — Eccentric offset cam. Starts smooth, then accelerates rapidly near the end of the stroke for fast, responsive, speed-focused play.
Turbo Drive (TD3 / TD4) — Concentric in-line cam. Completely linear and consistent throughout the stroke, ideal for maximum power and a traditional heavy feel.
Both variants run a dual-chain drive for reliable, high-efficiency power transfer.
Delta Ball-Bearing Hinge — Dual-sided ball bearing aluminum hinge eliminates side-to-side wobble for a perfectly smooth, wobble-free footboard motion on every stroke
Dual-Bearing Spring Rocker — Precision bearings on both ends of the spring reduce friction to near zero, delivering an ultra-fast, consistent snap-back response
101 Two-Way Beater — Reversible beater with hard plastic for sharp, punchy attack and felt on the reverse for a warm, classic bass drum tone — switch sounds instantly
Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp — Three independent 360° rotating rubber pads lock securely onto any bass drum hoop size or angle without slipping or scratching the wood
Non-Skid Red Base Plate — Signature red aluminum base plate with heavy-duty rubber grip and adjustable metal spurs to keep the pedal locked in place on any stage rug
Single vs. Double Configuration — Available as a single pedal (5000 Series) with extended foot clearance, or as a double pedal (5002 Series) with Single-Post Casting on the slave pedal for tight hi-hat positioning and aircraft-grade aluminum linkage for zero-latency dual-foot play
