DW DWSM2224 Hoop Clamp Bass Drum Spurs, Pair
The DWSM2224 is a pair of bass drum spurs that clamp onto the hoop to keep the drum from moving forward. They install without drilling, which makes them the answer for vintage drums, bass drums without original spurs and broken spurs.
What sets it apart
- Complete pair, one spur per side
- Clamps onto the hoop, no drilling into the shell
- Restores stability to a bass drum that keeps moving
- A solution for a drum with no original spurs
- Comes off completely for transport
The bass drum that walks away, bar after bar
Every drummer knows the scene: by the third song, the bass drum has moved twenty centimetres, the pedal is no longer under your foot and the throne is too far back. It is not about how hard you hit, but about bracing. Without spurs, the drum has nothing to resist the push of each stroke.
Two spurs lowered to the floor turn that push into bracing: the drum digs in instead of sliding. A rug helps, but it does not replace a hard contact point.
Why the clamp version rather than the screw-on version
Original spurs attach to the shell with screwed-on plates, which means drilling. On a vintage instrument, on a shell you do not want to touch, or when the original plate has been torn out, drilling is out of the question.
The clamp gets around the problem: it grips the hoop, which is built to take stress, and leaves the wood untouched. It has another advantage on tour: everything comes off, and the drum goes into its case with nothing sticking out.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I have to drill the bass drum?
- No. That is the point of the clamp version: the hoop takes the stress and the shell is left alone.
- Is it a complete pair?
- Yes, two spurs are included, one for each side. A single one would stabilize nothing: you need two support points spaced apart.
- Does it replace a drum rug?
- No, the two work together. The rug prevents overall sliding; the spurs provide a hard contact point that resists the push of the pedal.
- Can my hoop be damaged?
- As with any hoop clamp, overtightening eventually marks the finish. Tighten as much as needed, and no more.
