Bass Drum/Percussion Lifter with Fully-adjustable Rubber-cushioned Arms, Rubber/Spike Tipped Feet, and Pedal Mounting Bar

With the DW 9909 Bass Drum Lifter, you can transform a floor tom into a bass drum without damaging the drum's finish. If you've ever wanted to experiment with using different drums for kick, the 9909 is the key. Take a floor tom, lay it on its side on the 9909's four rubber-cushioned arms. The 9909 gently cradles you drum at perfect beater height, while its rubber/spike tipped feet keep it from creeping forward on any surface flooring. The 9909's arms are fully adjustable, and can accommodate irregularly-shaped instruments such as congas and even djembe. Go ahead - craft your cutting-edge signature kick sound - with the DW 9909.

At the top of the list

By CMN from MO
Music Background: Professional musician

I've tried several different risers over the years. Most were easy to use but didn't seem to help the sound of a small bass drum much. I finally bit the bullet and invested in the DW riser. I will say it has a bit of a learning curve but once I figured out how to use it the difference in sound was amazing. I only use it on sets with 18" or smaller bass drums. I think using it on larger drums would result in the mounted tom(s) being too high for my taste. The riser is also very well made. Yes, it's one more thing to schlep into a gig but at pack up time you just lift the bass drum off the riser and pack the drum into its case. This is the best riser I've ever used and well worth the expense!

Caveats for using with 20" bass drum

By ddj from Minneapolis
Music Background: Drums for years

I've been using the DWCP9909 with a 20" kick drum for several years. Here are my observations:

PROS:
- elevating a shallow 20" kick looks cool for some kits. Nearly every other drummer I encounter comments on it.
- seems to improve overall kick sound. I would compare it with a guitar amp that is on a stand vs. the floor.

CONS:
- bass drums have deeper hoops, so you need to cut a chunk out of your hoop in order for the beater to impact at 90 degrees. This isn't usually a problem for floor toms.
- adjustments are quite difficult. You have to balance the kick drum while adjusting each leg, one by one. You don't want the feet to touch the hoops or the bass drum lugs.

Overall I like it because of the sound and the look, but it could be better. Also DW could mention something about hoop depth in the product literature.

A Royal Pain

By Phil from West Monroe, La.

This riser is bulky, has no memory locks and is way tricky to get right! John Good, Dave Lombardi, Do better!

Very bulky, poorly made.

By SB from USA

I was not impressed with this riser. Very bulky and not impressed with the craftsmanship.

good idea, but...

By peter from dc
Music Background: 50 years drumming

Its rather 'clunky', somewhat bulky, heavy and tricky to position. I favour the DANMAR mount. Having said that, I'll be using one at a jazz gig at Rockefeller Center in NY in a few weeks.
