DW 6000 Ultralight Series Hardware Pack

Vintage Style, Modern Portability

For drummers who love classic style but hate hauling heavy hardware, the DW 6000 Ultralight Series delivers a refreshing answer. This retro-inspired pack combines ultra-portable construction, vintage flush-base aesthetics, smooth action, and DW-grade reliability — all at a fraction of the weight of traditional stands. Whether you’re gigging in tight clubs, playing acoustic sets, or simply sick of loading in more metal than your kit actually needs, this bundle keeps your setup strong, stable, and unbelievably easy to carry.

Retro Style, Modern Portability

DW’s 6000 Ultralight range pays homage to the slim, elegant hardware of the ’60s, now built using lightweight steel tubing that drastically reduces mass without compromising stability. The two 6710UL straight cymbal stands and 6300UL cradle-style snare stand fit beautifully alongside vintage kits and compact stages. Flush-base tripod legs stay out of the way, reduce footprint clutter, and remain rock solid under expressive playing.

Smooth Glide Tilters and Rapid Setup

Each snare and cymbal stand features DW’s renowned Glide Tilters — a favourite among Sweetwater drummers — giving you precise, effortless angle control for any playing style. The result? Consistent feel, quick adjustments, and zero fuss during changeovers.

Reliable, Lightweight Hi-Hat Action

The 6500UL hi-hat stand uses a Direct Pull Action, offering a fast, responsive pedal feel while maintaining solid stability, even when driven hard. Despite the lightweight tubing, it behaves like a full-size stand underfoot.

Compact, Durable Hardware Bag Included

To complete the pack, DW includes a rugged black canvas hardware bag built to keep transport streamlined. Internal dividers prevent metal-on-metal scraping and help you stay organised from car to stage to home.
