DW SMMGM V-Clamp Memory Locks, 2-Pack
The V-clamp memory lock is the small part that decides whether a setup goes back together in five minutes or in twenty. Sold in pairs, it fits the V-clamps in the lineup and physically marks the position you found, so the next setup is done against a stop rather than by eye.
What sets it apart
- Pack of two memory locks
- Designed for the V-clamps in the lineup
- Turn a by-eye adjustment into a mechanical stop
- Replace a lost lock on a used clamp
- Make teardown less costly than it looks
- Chrome finish
What you lose without memory locks, and nobody counts it
A setup without memory locks is rebuilt from memory: you mount, look, correct, play a bar, correct again. That takes five minutes per piece and, on a full kit, the evening starts with forty-five minutes of approximation.
Worse, the setting is never quite the same. Your hands feel the difference before your eyes see it, and the first half hour of playing goes to getting used to it again instead of playing.
A stop, not a visual mark
The memory lock does not show the position: it occupies it. You push the clamp until it makes contact, and there is no judgment left to make. That is the difference between a marker line, which you can miss, and a part that physically stops the movement.
The difference matters most in the conditions you actually set up in: low light, limited time, other musicians loading in at the same time.
The part you rebuy without having broken anything
Memory locks get lost. They stay on a tube left in a van, fall out of a bag, leave with a borrowed clamp. A used V-clamp very often arrives without its own.
The two-pack answers exactly that case: putting back into service hardware that works perfectly but has lost the part that made it quick to set up.

Compare with other manufacturers
Every manufacturer has its own memory lock, and they are not interchangeable between systems:
| Manufacturer | Their equivalent | Where it differs |
|---|---|---|
| Tama | Hardware memory locks | Diameters and profiles specific to the brand |
| Gibraltar | Rack system memory locks | Designed for tubes, not for V-clamps |
| Pearl | Stand position locks | Screw clamping varies by line |
Frequently asked questions
- What do these memory locks fit on?
- On the V-clamps in the lineup. They do not fit rack tubes, which need a hinged memory lock sized to the tube diameter.
- Why two in a pack?
- Because a two-sided clamp often needs two, and because parts this size get lost. Having a spare saves you from an approximate setup.
- Is it worth it for a permanent setup?
- Less so, if nothing ever moves. As soon as there is transport, lending gear or changing configuration, the gain shows at the first reassembly.
- Do I need a tool to install them?
- Ordinary tightening is enough, with the tool already in your hardware case. There is nothing to drill or modify.
