DW Drum Workshop 9710 STRAIGHT

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

Designed to meet the demands of drummers seeking reliable hardware both in rehearsal and on stage, this cymbal stand relies on proven choices: robust base, precise adjustments, and safety systems designed to minimize unexpected issues during play. It positions itself as a performance-oriented solution, capable of withstanding regular use and frequent assembly and disassembly.

Who This Cymbal Stand Is For

This cymbal stand suits both beginner drummers looking for a stable and easy-to-adjust support and intermediate to advanced musicians who need repeatability (adjustment memory) and security. It naturally fits styles requiring solid hardware stability: rock, pop, funk, metal, contemporary music, but remains equally relevant in jazz or fusion contexts whenever you seek a consistent cymbal position and clean setup.

Features and Innovations

The lockable tilt without markings prioritizes efficiency: you position the cymbal by ear and feel, then lock firmly without relying on a printed reference. The 2 telescopic sections allow precise height adjustment while facilitating transport and storage. The memory clamp speeds up kit changes and secures your settings: after disassembly, you regain your adjustment within seconds. Finally, the TechLock Safety enhances peace of mind on stage by reducing the risk of unintentional loosening caused by vibrations.

Sound Characteristics

A cymbal stand does not alter the timbre as a shell would, but it directly influences the freedom of vibration and thus how the cymbal expresses itself. The continuous adjustment of felt spacing is crucial here: the more freedom you allow, the more the cymbal breathes with natural sustain; the tighter you set it, the more you control resonance, useful for containing certain frequencies or stabilizing playing during live performances.

The double base improves overall stability: the cymbal stays in place with fewer unwanted micro-movements, promoting a more consistent attack and more precise touch, especially during accents. The well-locked tilt adjustment also helps maintain your striking zone, essential for keeping a steady dynamic and comfortable positioning.
