DW Drums Single Tom L-Arm Clamps - Don't Use the Double Mount

[@drumdrumdrum]

Let's take a look at the DW Drums single and double L-arm tom mounts. These can be mounted to a cymbal stand, or any vertically running stand. The models on these two units are: * DWSM991 (Single Tom/Accessory Clamp): amzn.to/47T2yWA * DWSM992 (Double Tom/Accessory Clamp): amzn.to/3SfXrKq *If you purchase through the above links, I'll make a tiny commission. That'll make me super happy, as I could buy more drums!* We'll discuss how these work, and any usability issues you may come across.

I really like the double mounts. I think they offer a great alternative to the single mounts and in a lot of situations they work very well. I have multiple of both styles of mounts, and they all have their place in my set up. The double mount work particularly well when using a bass drum with a mount on it. I also use them when I offset my toms to the left if I’m using two toms. They also makes a great alternative for mounting cymbals off of tom arms. Feel like the title of this video is a little bit click baity.

Sorry you feel that it's click baity, but for me, the double has not use and is collecting dust, at least in a rack situation.

Thanks. I acquired a bass drum and tom from a Yamaha Rock Tour kit and its the first kit I've had without tom mounts on the bass drum. This helped me alot with understanding what i was looking at and what hardware i needed, as I'm not well versed on hardware and different kit styles.

Happy to help! : )

The double tom mount needs to be closer because it has to support a more weight. Having the toms further from the stand would increase the amount of torque put onto the stand, increasing the possibility of the clamp denting the tubing it is clamped to, if mounting large/heavy toms. (Although suspended floor toms are no longer in vogue, some still have older kits that have them, and DW has to account for all use cases.) Just move the stand closer to you and adjust the boom arm as necessary, it's not that big a deal.

My new DW kit (arrived in January) has mounted floor toms. Had to custom order it that way. My previous Pearl kit has mounted floor toms as well and over 25 years I never had any hardware denting issues (always 1 tom per mount though).
