DW 9900BD Bass Drum Mount Double Tom Holder with Sliding Rail, Gold
This double tom holder carries two toms from the bass drum, on a rail that lets the arms slide sideways, and it comes in a gold finish. The finish is not a detail on this kind of part: mounted high and in the middle of the kit, it can be seen from everywhere, and it forces everything else to match.
What sets it apart
- Double tom holder, with 1/2 in diameter arms
- Sliding rail, to spread the drums apart or bring them closer
- Ball-joint adjustment, to angle the toms without loosening everything
- Heavy-wall tubing, oversized joints against play
- Mounts directly on the bass drum, with no tripod on the floor
- Gold version of the holder
Gold cannot be fixed after the fact
A kit with gold hardware is built through a series of decisions: the lugs, the hoops, the tension rods, then the hardware that rises above the drums. The last part added is the one that shows the most, because it sticks out of the mass of the drums and stands out against the stage backdrop.
A chrome holder in the middle of a gold setup goes unnoticed nowhere: not in the room, not in photographs, not on video, where reflections give away the difference in colour immediately. Choosing the gold version costs less than buying it again later.
Oversized joints and the wobble
Two toms held out on arms put constant torque on the tube joints. Wherever there is play, you can see it: the drum wobbles slightly after each stroke, and in close-miked recording you can hear that wobble as a halo trailing the note.
The manufacturer specifies heavy-wall tubing and oversized joints precisely against this flaw. More clamping surface means less leftover play, so a drum stays where you set it for the whole night.
What the manufacturer states, and what it does not
Its page describes the rail, the 1/2 in tom arm, the free-positioning ball joint and the heavy-wall tubing. It states neither the mounting hardware, nor the hole spacing, nor any finish option. The version sold here is the gold one, but it is the part number that says so, not a spec sheet — and no karat rating is claimed anywhere. This page therefore states none.
The practical consequence before ordering: your bass drum must already have the right mounting points, or you must be willing to add them. That takes ten seconds to check with a tape measure.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the gold finish change about the part?
- Only its appearance. The rail, the arms and the ball joint are those of the same part number in the standard finish.
- Do I have to drill my bass drum?
- The part mounts on the shell. If your bass drum is already drilled for another system, the hole spacing is the only thing to check before buying.
- Which toms can I hang on it?
- Those whose mount accepts a 1/2 in diameter arm, the only measurement the manufacturer gives for this part.
- Why a rail rather than a fixed holder?
- Because the holes fix the holder and the rail fixes the toms: you spread the drums apart or bring them closer without touching the drilling.
