DW Gear: Built to Last

DW – or Drum Workshop – is known around the world for their innovative designs, for their commitment to quality, and for their attention to the wants and needs of working drum techs and professional drummers. Originally getting their start as a small teaching studio in 1972, DW has never lost their focus on the players and the playing experience – and has since crafted a comprehensive line of drums and hardware, to meet the needs of budding beginning drummers to all-out touring professionals. Whatever your needs, you can count on DW to bring you a killer combination of both proven and cutting-edge designs – and gear that will withstand serious playing day-in, day-out.

Techlock secondary locking system protects against slippage

The DW 9700’s Techlock secondary locking system comes from a design inspired by working drum techs. The feature is incorporated at all the critical adjustments points on the DW 9700’s hardware, providing a safeguard against slippage from vibration during transport or playing.

Plastic tube insulators help it shine in studio environments

When you’re miking drum kits in the studio, one problem you’ll need to overcome is issues with rattling noise – especially when drum mics are placed particularly close to your cymbal stands. DW’s 9700 features built-in plastic tube insulators, which fit inside the heavy-gauge tubing and help prevent rattle.
