DW 9000X Hardware

DW has re-imagined their flagship 9000 series drum hardware. The 9000X Series is the most advanced complete line of stands in the company’s nearly 55-year history.

Over the last decade, DW listened to touring drummers and techs about their experiences and set out to re-engineer the existing 9000 series, and transform into the 9000X Series hardware with the most demanding gigs and setups in mind.

The improvements include:

AutoLock™ boom angle adjustment – a patent-pending mechanism that effortlessly and securely tightens itself
InnerLock™ – a modular, internal cable system that controls height memory adjustment, which means boom stands can now be fully collapsed for transport, with traditional memory locks no longer required
The heaviest gauge, seamless steel tubing, with a flex-free Ultra-Rigid tripod base design
Optional, stackable MOD weights to be added to either the tripod base or the stand legs for even greater stability
Newly designed drop-in AirLift® cartridges for effortless height adjustment when repositioning heavy snare drums or rack toms
Quick-release hi-hat rod system
Asymmetrical snare baskets optimized for 10-lug snare drums.

The complete line of 9000X Series hardware includes three cymbal stands (9700XIL / 9701XIL / 9710XIL), four hi-hat stands (9500X / 9500TX / 9500XFX / 9500XFTX), two snare stands (9300X / 9339X), and three tom stand models (991X / 992X / 9791X).
