The DW 9900 double-braced tom stand features heavy-gauge tubing and ball-in-socket 1/2"-diameter tom arms. Plastic tube insulators inside the tubing protect the DW 9900 against rattling issues in close-miking situations, making it a good choice for studio recording. What's more, hinged memory locks for the tube joints and tripod leg assembly help you set up the DW 9900 precisely every time.
