quality. To adjust the angle, turn the wingscrew while playing the pedal to achieve the
desired sound. Once the optimal position is achieved, tighten the inside nut against the
wingscrew to lock the angle/position
2.3: Spring Tension
1. Loosen the drumkey screw just above the large knurled knob on the cable housing.
2. Rotate the large knurled knob clockwise to tighten the cable and counter clockwise to
loosen it. Be sure to re-tighten the keyscrew before playing.
Section 3: Adjustable Spurs and Velcro™
Your DW 9502LB/9503LB Hi-Hat stand includes built-in, adjustable spurs and non-
skid Velcro™ on the bottom of the pedal plate to prevent hi-hat crawl. The Velcro™
automatically grips on most types of carpeting. To adjust the spurs, loosen the keyscrews
on the sides of the base casting, lower the spurs to their desired position and tighten
the screws. Be careful to use the spurs on carpet/soft surfaces as they may damage some
types of ooring.
Section 5: Pack Up/Transport
1. Remove the cymbals and clutch.
2. Separate the hi-hat tube and rod sections.
3. Fold the leg assembly by loosening the wingscrew in the base section and folding the
legs inward. Once the legs are folded up, tighten the wingscrew to secure them.
4. The footboard assembly can be folded by loosening the top set of drumkey screws on
the sides of the base casting and folding the assembly up, or held more permanently in
playing position by inserting the extra provided screws into the holes joining the bottom
of the base casting and the footboard.
4. Place the hi-hat tube and rod in the pocket inside the bag and base casting, cable, cable
housing and Mega Clamps in the bag (bag not included with 9503LB).
Section 6: Optional Cable Lengths
The 9502LB and 9503LB Remote Hi-Hats come standard with an 8’ cable. Other cable
lengths are available (2, 4, 6, 8, 10’). Please contact your authorized DW dealer regarding
optional cable lengths.
9503LB
DW 9502LB/9503LB HI-HAT STAND
Remove the stand, accessories and all packing materials from the box and carrying bag, then follow these instructions to set-up and adjust your hi-hat to t the way you play.
Section 1: Assembly
1.1: Base Section/Leg Assembly
1. Loosen the wingscrew at the top of the rotating leg assembly, unfold the legs, and
tighten the wingscrew in the desired position. DW’s patented dual-leg assembly has
been designed to rotate in order to accommodate double bass drum pedals, stands and
other set-up requirements. Rotate the leg assembly to its desired position and then
tighten the key and wingscrews to secure the position.
1.2.1: Mounting the MG-1 and MG-2 Mega Clamps (9502LB)
1. For convenience, the MG-1 Mega Clamp comes attached to the tube on the MG-2
Mega Clamp. The MG-1 is a standard “V”-”V” two-way clamp, with one side already
attached to the MG-2 tube.
2. Loosen both the standard nut and the wingnut on the available side of the MG-1.
3. Unhinge the wingnut rst, then the standard nut.
4. Place the clamp where you want it on a cymbal or tom stand in your drum setup.
5. Adjust the standard nut so you can quickly loosen the wingnut and remove the
assembly easily in the future.
1.2.2: Mounting the 776L DogBone™ (9503LB)
1. The DogBone™ has a “V” clamp at both ends and works like the “V” clamp described
in section 1.2.1.
2. Loosen both the standard nut and the wingnut on both ends of the DogBone™.
3. Unhinge the wingnut rst, then the standard nut.
4. Place the clamp where you want it on a cymbal or tom stand in your drum setup.
5. Adjust the standard nut so you can quickly loosen the wingnut and remove the
assembly easily in the future.
1.3: Hi-Hat Tube
1. In a similar fashion to mounting the hardware on your cymbal or tom stand, loosen
the standard nut at the end of the MG-2 Mega Clamp (or DogBone™ for 9503LB).
2. Place the hi-hat tube in the open clamp.
3. Tighten the standard nut and the wingscrew as in section 1.2.1, step 5.
1.4: Hi-Hat Rod
1. Insert the threaded end of the hi-hat rod into the receiver in the hi-hat tube.
2. Screw the two sections together by rotating the upper section clockwise until tight.
Section 2: Mounting and Adjusting the Cymbals
2.1: The Clutch
1. Separate the hi-hat clutch by loosening the drumkey screw, unthreading the bottom
nut and removing the lower felt washer.
2. Place the top hi-hat cymbal on the clutch stem so that the top of the bell rests on
the top felt washer and replace the bottom felt below the cymbal.
3. Thread the bottom nut back onto the stem until it stops.
4. Adjust the lower of the two knurled nuts at the top of the clutch to achieve the
desired space between the cymbal and the felt washers and lock the position by
tightening the upper knurled nut against the lower one.
5. Loosen the nut at the cymbal seat and remove top felt only. Place the bottom hi-hat
cymbal on the cymbal seat located at the top of the upper tube so that the upper rod
comes through the mounting hole in the cymbal and the bell rests on the cymbal seat
felt. Place the felt and the nut back over the rod and tighten the nut.
6. Place the clutch/cymbal assembly (nished in Step 4) over the rod so that the top
cymbal rests on top of the bottom cymbal.
7. Place the 505 Drop-Lock clutch over the rod and lower it until the clutch securely
clamps on to the top of the clutch holding the top cymbal.
8. Depress the pedal and, when the desired space between the cymbal is achieved,
tighten the wingscrew on the drop-lock clutch.
9. To further secure this position for more intense playing situations, reach between the
cymbals with a drumkey and tighten the drumkey screw on the clutch.
2.2: Bottom Cymbal Angle Adjustment
The lateral adjustment mechanism at the top of the upper tube is designed to adjust the
angle of the bottom hi-hat cymbal and enhance the cymbals’ performance and sound

Elevator Heel Platform (U.S. Patent No. 6359205)
DW’s advanced 9-Position “Elevator” Heel Plates provide a
unique method for drummers to achieve a more comfortable
pedal playing position without sacricing speed, power or accura-
cy. By using different combinations of the heel sections, the height
of the heel can be adjusted independently of the angle of the
footboard. The “Elevator” positions range from normal (#1) and
slightly elevated (#2-3) to raised (#4-7) and extreme (#8-9). Posi-
tion #8, for example, is recommended for achieving a smoother,
more effortless heel-toe sliding technique, while positions #2 and
#3 offer a subtle but effective way to increase control.
To install the Elevator heel sections, rst turn the pedal over
and remove the three screws holding the original heel (A) to the
pedal plate. In order to loosen chemical lock holding the three
screws, you may rst need to heat them with a hair dryer for 2-3 minutes. Place additional Elevator heel
sections (B, C) either below or above the original section and re-attach the stacked heel sections using the
longer screws (provided). The following chart indicates which screws (supplied) should be used in conjunc-
tion with the Elevator heel sections to modify the height of your heel.
