DW42 in. Curved Rack Bar
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 42-inch curved crossbar for a drum rack, for players building or widening a DW rack setup around the kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Extending an existing rack to hold more cymbal arms
- Drummers wanting the front bar angled around the kick
- Replacing a bent or too-short bar on a rack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without an existing rack to attach it to
- Small kits that two cymbal stands already cover
- Players who tear down and load in nightly
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Curved, not straight
Bends around the bass drum and toms, so arms reach the kit without long extensions.
Detail 03
Bar only
It is raw tubing. Everything that grips it or holds it up is a separate item.
Detail 04
DW rack tubing
Sized to DW clamps. Other brands' clamps may or may not close on it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need clamps and uprights or legs before this holds anything
- 02Measure your kit width first — 42 in. curved covers less straight distance
- 03Curved bars limit where clamps sit; the bend is unusable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with clamps?
No. This is the bar. Rack clamps for cymbal arms and tom holders are bought separately, as are the vertical legs that support it.
02Will it work with another brand's rack?
Only if that brand's clamps fit DW tubing diameter. Check the clamp jaw size against the bar before mixing systems.
03Straight or curved — which should I get?
Curved wraps the front of the kit so cymbal arms sit closer without long reaches. Straight is simpler and easier to pack flat.
04Is 42 inches enough for a five-piece?
For a front bar on a standard five-piece, usually yes. Wide setups with multiple rack toms and several cymbals often need a longer bar or side extensions.
