He used them in the earlier days. I think he upgraded to the 9000's now.

Hardware: Prior to his endorsement with DW, Jon used Pearl Eliminator single kick pedal and applied surf wax for playing barefoot, along with various straight cymbal stands. Now Theodore uses DW 7000 series Hi-hat and straight cymbal stands with a 5000 pedal.

Stan Lynch

Mentioned by Lynch in [this May 2008 *Modern Drummer Magazine* interview](https://www.thepettyarchives.com/archives/magazines/2000s/2008-05-moderndrummer). It is visible under Lynch's snare. > "This is one of my vintage Tama kits, circa the late 1970s," Stan Lynch says. "It was used on almost every Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers session I did, as well as on recordings by Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, John Mellencamp, Aretha Franklin, The Eurythmics, Brian Wilson, Roger McGuinn, Stevie Nicks, Del Shannon, T-Bone Burnett, The Byrds, Belinda Carlisle, Freedy Johnston, and many others. > > "It features a 14x24 kick, 8x12 and 9x13 rack toms, and a 16x16 floor tom. As for the snare drums, at that time I used a 6½x14 Ludwig Black Beauty, 5x14 and 6½x14 Ludwig Supraphonics, and a 5x14 Ludwig Acrolite. Not shown, but included with this kit, were 6x6, 8x8, and 10x14 tom-toms. > > "Besides the drums, I have always used Zildjian cymbals, Pro-Mark drumsticks, Remo heads, and DW pedals."

One and a half thumbs up!

I can't say enough about the 5,000 series kick pedals. They're super smooth, with just the right amount of versatility in tension. I will forever prefer this series over the more expensive, "higher regarded" 9,000 series! The only reason that this pedal doesn't get a 5 star rating from me is because I've had the heel piece break on me several times. An easy and cheap replacement, but still extremely frustrating.
