DW 9000 Rack Snare Basket for 10 to 12 Inch Drums
This snare basket hangs a 10 to 12 inch snare drum on a 1.5 in rack tube. It exists because a standard-size basket holds a small drum poorly: its arms open too wide, close unevenly, and a poorly held auxiliary snare starts to swivel at the first rimshot.
What sets it apart
- Designed for drums 10 to 12 in in diameter
- Mounts on a 1.5 in rack tube
- 9000 Series basket, sized for small diameters
- No legs on the floor: all the weight goes through the rack
- Chrome finish
A small drum in a large basket, and what happens next
The arms of a basket close on the hoop in a triangle. Set for a 14 inch drum, that triangle becomes very tight on a 10: the arms press almost flat, the grip loses its wedging effect, and the drum slips at the first stroke on the hoop.
A basket sized for small diameters gets the right angle of contact back. The hoop is held the way it should be, and the auxiliary snare stays exactly where you put it, even when you play it hard — which is usually why it is there.
What you need to own before ordering
This piece is not a stand: it mounts on a 1.5 inch rack tube. Without a rack it is useless, and no adapter turns it into a tripod.
On a rack that is already set up, however, it costs nothing in floor space. That is exactly the point of a rack: adding a drum where a tripod would no longer fit, between the hi-hat stand, the double pedal and the cymbal stands already in place.
Where an auxiliary snare should sit under the stick
A second snare is not placed next to the first: it goes where the left hand reaches it without leaving its playing position, often higher and slightly further back. A basket hung on the rack lets you find that height freely, while a tripod forces the compromise of its legs.
The same reasoning applies to a percussion drum, a hand drum or a snare with a different voice that you only play on one or two songs.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I put a 13 or 14 in snare in it?
- No. The manufacturer specifies a range of 10 to 12 in; larger sizes have their own basket in the same family.
- Do I really need a drum rack?
- Yes. The mount is designed for a 1.5 in tube; this is not a freestanding stand.
- Does the rack pass vibrations to the drum?
- A rigid rack transmits less than people think, and the basket's grip damps most of it. For close-miked recording, trying the placement is still the only check that matters.
- Can I mount something other than a snare drum on it?
- Any drum of the right diameter whose hoop the arms can grip: small tom, percussion drum, auxiliary snare.
