The DW 9000 Series Three Leg Hi-Hat Stand represents the gold standard in pedal engineering, built by Drum Workshop’s legendary design team. Its defining feature is a patented Double Eccentric Cam mechanism that dramatically increases footboard sensitivity relative to cymbal movement, delivering the kind of responsive, lightning-quick feel touring drummers and studio session players depend on. The three–leg base design provides exceptional stability during aggressive playing whilst maintaining the platform’s compact footprint.
Construction centres on a ball bearing hinge fitted with precision engineering that enables smooth, repeatable pedal action across thousands of sessions. The infinitely adjustable locking spring tension system lets players fine–tune resistance to match their top cymbal’s weight, eliminating the sluggish feel of poorly balanced stands. A lateral cymbal seat—the first of its kind in hi–hat design—grants instant access to adjust the bottom cymbal angle without breaking down the stand. The folding footboard remains secure in the base casting, and the package ships with a locking clutch, plastic tube insulators, swivel legs, and interchangeable upper rods in both 21" and 15" lengths.
This stand suits players running anything from compact bedroom setups to touring kits. The three–leg configuration offers a wider footprint than traditional two–leg designs, meaning fewer accidental pedal catches during fast passes or crowded stage layouts. Whether dialling in tight, controlled hi–hat articulation or opening up for ride–cymbal textures, the platform’s precision mechanics respond exactly as intended, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications.
