I bought a DW 5000 drum pedal in the late 90s. The hinge gave in more than 15 years ago. Back then I didn't know where to look for original spare parts, so I replaced it with a regular hardware store door hinge. It did its job but it also gave in. With the original part, the pedal looks the part (no pun intended). To sum up, the spare part fits a very old DW 5000 and does what it says in the tin.
