DW 9500TBXF Two-Leg Hi-Hat Stand, Extended Footboard
The 9500TBXF is a hi-hat stand with two swivelling legs and an extended footboard. The two legs clear the floor under the cymbals; the long board gives the left foot room to work. It is the setup for tight kits where the left foot does a lot.
What sets it apart
- Extended footboard for the left foot
- Two swivelling legs, no third leg on the floor
- Patented double eccentric cam
- Continuous-tension spring, lockable
- One-piece folding footboard
- Locking clutch included
Two needs that rarely come together by chance
The drummer looking for two legs almost always plays a double pedal. The one looking for a long board on the hi-hat is almost always the same person: their left foot moves between the auxiliary pedal and the hi-hat, sometimes within the same bar.
This version is made exactly for that drummer. The floor is clear so the auxiliary pedal sits in the right spot, and the hi-hat board is the same length as the pedal board, so the foot keeps its bearings moving from one to the other.
What to measure before you order
A long board reaches further toward the drummer — the manufacturer does not say by how much on this model. In an already very compact kit, that extra length can be enough to make the hi-hat board touch the auxiliary pedal board.
There is a fix — move the hi-hat out slightly, turn the legs — but it is better to know beforehand. A setup that works down to the millimetre is a setup that falls apart on the first narrow stage.
Foot control is not lost
Lengthening the board does not change the mechanism. The double eccentric cam is the same, and so is the footboard's sensitivity to cymbal movement. The drummer gains foot positions without losing any of the control they had.

Frequently asked questions
- Long board and two legs: can you have both without conflict?
- Yes, that is the whole point of this version. Just check the space available between the two boards under your left foot.
- Does foot sensitivity change with a long board?
- No. The cam is the same, so the cymbal travel is too.
- Are the clutch and settings the same as on the standard model?
- Yes. Only the footboard and the number of legs set this version apart.
