There's no question that the multi-award winning range of pedals from Drum Workshop are the revered, most copied and most played in the world. They were the first Chain-Drive pedals, the first to incorperate a baseplate, the first to include a felt spring dampener, the list goes on. DW have been setting the standard in pedal design for more than a quarter of a century. Whichever DW pedal you choose, from the revolutionary advancements of the 9000 or the legendary 5000 to the excellent value of the 4000 the quality is alway second to none.
