DW 9502LB Remote Hi-Hat Stand Review by Sweetwater 

4:40 would be more useful if the clutch would stay in place instead of rotate.

Thank you so much for this video. I was afraid to break it because it comes with some black protectors at the tip of each end of the cable. Thanks to you, I was able to install my remote hi hat stand in no time. I love your videos

Having played the Tama Iron Cobra Remote, the Pearl RH2000, and this DW, the DW is my favorite. I currently have the second one I've owned in my life. I love the fact that the cable is easily removable for transport, and the whole assembly is light. The ability to buy models with different cable lengths, or buy different replacement cable lengths is great. The feel is closest to a traditional hi-hat (I'd say it's maybe 97% like a regular hi-hat feel wise..extremely close). The Pearl was good feel wise, but not quite as immediate as the DW. It also is harder to transport because you can't disconnect the cable, and you're stuck with the 8 foot cable, which is overkill if you use a remote hi-hat to say center your hi-hat cymbals over the snare like Bill Bruford does. The Tama was, and I say this with a breaking heart as I LOVE Tama's hardware and use Tama from my bass drum pedals to cymbal, snare stands, and clamps/accessories, the worst. It was extremely heavy and sluggish at every tension setting (I have to say that I love too that the DW lets you adjust the tension gradually, where as the Tama is 6 pre-determined settings). There was also a lot of friction. It was almost unplayable. I don't know if I got a bad one, but I returned it immediately. But I think even if the Tama had the same feel as the DW, as I said the DW wins for portability. It's also lighter than the Tama wise as well.

This is amazing , I love this , at least for me , it looks more comfortable to play a hi hat like that

Wow! What a great instructor.

I found an open box in mint condition for $400! I position mine in the same spot as you did with my ride cymbal level with it. Opens up many rythm options.

Such a beautiful finish on that kit

Pretty cool, I want to add another hi hat but Im thinking more of the remoteless, I like keeping the time on my left foot so I want to still have a closed hihat crisp sound with my right hand

Nice content. I love the quality of it and it looks user friendly. I will get one 😎

Good video. I saw a drummer on utube playing open handed. I do habe a mounted remote, but doesn't open and shut. I might spend 300 and experiment. Good idea. It is the 21st century now.😎

I really like the drop clutch. I have a Gibraltar that doesn't reattach so smoothly.

He makes every setup look great and usable... if I had that i would still sound awful.

Daaaaamn.....I'm buying it

that is a beautiful set wow

What splashing on this like? I like to splash on the up beats at fast tempos, will this respond fast enough?

which dogbone are you using to mount the hi hat to the cymbal stand. I have an SM 798 but is doesn't work.

2:42 i lol'd

What boom arm attachment are you using to attach the remote Hihat to the stand?

how do you record drums with this kind of video? are you just using one mic here?

Yikes! that was a fail clutch keeps spinning around for the amount of money I’m sure they’re charging I’m surprised there’s nothing that keeps it stationary

Really enjoyed the depth of info. in this video. Very helpful. I plan to use this on my kit. But I won't be using stands. I'm slowly building a three sided DW rack system. I've heard the mounting hardware with this remote hi-hat doesn't work well with the 1.5" tubing that comes with the rack system. Does anyone know if this is true or will it work as is?

How much is this gonna cost to buy?

I may get one …

Yup, that clutch is spinning so you won’t be able to activate it at some point

What is cost?

does that clutch work with ordinary hi hat stands?

At 4:44 and 5:10 the clutch has revolved around to a point where it would be impossible to hit it with a stick. Why is it spinning around??

Not good if the Drop Lock turns away from you while playing... Maybe he didnt have it setup right?

How is the Remote Hi-Hat Stand compared to a regular Hi-Hat Stand? I’d like to use it on a kit with 2 bass drums but I don’t want to sacrifice performance at all, especially speed-wise. Thanks in advance!

Hi there!Are there any Sweetwater video reviews of the Trick Predator remote hihat?

Would you guys prefer the Pearl rh 2000 or this one? I would like to play it very tight and open.

la rentadaa

Man, need to drop remo powerstroke4s coated tom heads and an controlled sound snair. Cause your side snare head is on point, but drop the retarted Zyldian cymbals and just get some Sabian aax's, HH, HHX paragon. And the things will bark ad soon you tap them. Yea we see they added a clutch that screws down to tighten and pedal at absolute 0 to catch the clutch mechanism. And adjustable on tightening the wash and cut. But man Zyldian smmfh🤦‍♂️

Nick playing poorly surprised me. Not that I expected him to be a double pedal god or something, but it just threw me off hearing such a fantastic drummer struggle ;)

Chris Slade use this .

What is remote hi hat stand?

How would I go about attaching this to a Gibraltar road pro rack? What is needed?

Hey nick, wanna come tune my drums for me?

A manufacturer has to produce a real Hi-Hat stand that can be played remotely with a pedal, instead of these wobbly jerky little clamp-on things. So drummers can play a real solid Hi-Hat remotely. Have a cable from the pedal that runs to the bottom of a remotely located real Hi-Hat stand. No wobbly clamp-on toys. All solid because it is a real Hi-Hat stand used to really play your Hi-Hats.

$400.00 !!!!!

You covered about 20% of the hardware...

"Really simple" but you can't make those adjustments without a drum key
