DW 9000 24 in Straight Drum Rack Bar
The 24 in straight bar is a 1.5 in stainless steel tube from the 9000 drum rack system, at side-wing length. It connects the front structure to a rear upright and gives the rack its depth: the space where the floor tom, the ride and everything behind your shoulder live.
What sets it apart
- 24 in long, the side-wing length
- 1.5 in stainless steel tube
- Closes the rack's geometry toward the back
- Takes cymbal arms and drum mounts
- Combines with the system's curved and straight bars
- Fits in an ordinary hardware case
Depth, the forgotten dimension of a rack
When you picture a rack, you see its front bar. Yet depth is what decides what you can actually hang on it: without a side wing, everything has to fit on a single line in front of the drummer, and the ride ends up too far away or too high.
A two-foot bar running toward the back opens up a second row. Your right arm finds the ride at the right distance, the floor tom can be suspended instead of standing on its legs, and the setup stops being a facade and becomes a volume.
Two wings or just one
Many drummers do not need a rack closed on three sides. A front bar and a single wing, on the ride side, is often enough, and it cuts both setup time and the weight you carry.
The modular system allows exactly that: you buy the wing when the need arises, without changing structures. That is the main advantage of pieces sold individually over complete sets.
Set the wing height before anything else
A common mistake is to set the wings at the same height as the front bar, for symmetry. But what hangs behind — ride, floor tom, effects cymbal — usually sits higher or lower than what is in front.
It is better to set up the front bar, sit down, then set each wing at the height its load calls for. The rack does not need to be geometrically regular: it needs to be playable.

Compare with other manufacturers
How other manufacturers build depth into their racks:
| Manufacturer | Comparable model | What differs |
|---|---|---|
| Gibraltar | 1.5 in side bars | Same diameter, lengths offered in different increments |
| Pearl | ICON rack | Square section, rotation locked by the shape |
| Yamaha | Hexrack II | Hexagonal profile, angle indexing through the tube's geometry |
| Mapex | Modular rack | Range geared toward complete sets rather than individual pieces |
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need two side wings on my rack?
- Not necessarily. One, on the ride side, is enough for many setups and makes transport lighter.
- Can I suspend a floor tom from it?
- Yes, with the appropriate mount. The 1.5 in stainless steel tube is designed for that load.
- How high should a side wing be set?
- At the height its load calls for, not the height of the front bar. Symmetry serves no functional purpose.
- Does this bar also work as an upright?
- Yes, 24 in works well as a medium-height upright.
