When a company like DW reaches the 50-year milestone, a special release of their coveted 5000 series kick pedal is only fitting. The DW 5050, as it’s been nicknamed by DW, comes decked out with a carbon fiber footboard and heel plate, dressed up in the 1-year-only DW50 logo! This not only adds a sharp look, but reduces a bit of weight for easy-breezy footing and lighter travel. Despite the new look, it operates exactly as the standard and timeless 5000 — fast, precise, and with enough durability to last through any show and tour. With its double chain, felt beater, and accompanying travel bag, the 5050 is up for any task, from the rigors of the road to the uncompromising demands of the recording studio.
