DW Delta II Triangle Spring Hook for Bass Drum Pedal
The DWSP1210 is the small triangle hook that connects the spring to the rocker of a bass drum pedal. It is a part the size of a fingernail, and when it breaks, a whole pedal is out of service in the middle of a show.
What sets it apart
- Triangle hook from the spring assembly
- Delta II family
- Fits all DW pedals except the 9000 series
- Original replacement part
- Replaced without taking the whole pedal apart
The part that takes all the return force
Every time the beater swings back, the spring's force passes through this hook. At a hundred and twenty strokes per minute for two hours, that adds up to more than fourteen thousand cycles per show, all absorbed at the same point.
The metal fatigues, opens slightly, and eventually gives way or slips out of its seat. It is not a defect: it is the normal behaviour of a wear part that has done its time.
Spotting the failure before it happens
A pedal that no longer returns firmly, a spring that hangs loose, a metallic click on every release: these three signs point to the spring assembly before anything else. Many drummers blame the chain or the bearing and replace the wrong part.
The right move is to look at the hook under good light: if it has lost its clean triangular shape or shows a deep wear mark where it makes contact, it needs replacing.
What does not fit a 9000
The manufacturer is explicit: this hook fits all DW pedals except the 9000 series, whose spring assembly is different. Buying the wrong version costs a second shipment instead of a repair.
For the rest of the range, it is the part to keep in your hardware bag, along with a spare felt and a drum key.

Frequently asked questions
- My pedal doesn't come back up anymore. Is it this part?
- It is the first place to look, along with the spring itself. If the hook is bent or has slipped out of its seat, the return no longer works properly.
- Does it fit a 9000 series pedal?
- No. The manufacturer explicitly excludes that series; its spring assembly does not use the same part.
- Do I have to take the pedal apart to replace it?
- No, in most cases. Release the spring tension, free the hook and reassemble. Note your tension before you start so you can get your setting back.
- How long does this part last?
- There is no stated lifespan: it depends on spring tension, playing style and hours of use. A drummer who plays hard with a tight spring wears it out faster.
