DW DWSM2346 Quick-Release Wing Nuts, 2-Pack
The DWSM2346 replaces screwing with a squeeze of the thumb and index finger. The spring mechanism releases the rod in one move, the top cymbal felt stays attached to the wing nut, and the cymbal comes off in a second.
What sets it apart
- Spring mechanism, removes without unscrewing
- Top felt attached to the wing nut
- Also screws on the traditional way if you prefer
- Pack of two
- For the brand's stands with an adjustable cymbal seat
Counting the seconds of teardown
Ten cymbals, ten wing nuts, a dozen turns each: tearing down a kit spends a surprising share of its time unscrewing. And that time comes back at every setup, every cymbal change, every try-out at rehearsal.
Quick release removes that step. You squeeze, you lift, you are done. The gain seems trivial on one stand; it becomes obvious on a full kit torn down at midnight.
The spring does not stop you from doing it the old way
A reassuring detail: the wing nut keeps its thread. Anyone who prefers to screw it on the old way can, and anyone worried that a mechanism might release on its own can lock it down on the threads.
The manufacturer does set a clear limit, however: these wing nuts go on its own cymbal stands, and more precisely on those with an adjustable cymbal seat. Beyond that, it makes no claim — so check before ordering, not after.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a quick-release wing nut come loose while I play?
- It takes deliberate finger pressure to release the rod. If you still have doubts, you can always tighten it on the threads like a regular wing nut.
- Will it fit any cymbal stand?
- No, and the manufacturer is explicit: these wing nuts go on its own cymbal stands only, the ones with an adjustable cymbal seat. For another brand's stand, no compatibility is stated.
- Can the felt be replaced?
- The felt is part of the assembly: the wing nut and its felt are sold together. When the felt is flattened, you replace the whole nut.
