Snare Stands

When selecting a snare stand, consider factors such as adjustability, stability, and build quality. Look for a stand with a strong and durable base, preferably with double-braced legs for added stability. Ensure the stand has adjustable height and tilt to position the snare drum comfortably within reach. Additionally, check for features like rubber feet and adjustable snare basket arms to securely hold your drum and minimise unwanted movement.

To set up your snare stand, begin by positioning the stand at the desired location and spreading the legs evenly for stability. Adjust the height of the stand so that the snare drum sits comfortably in front of you while you play. Use the tilt adjustment to angle the drum to your preferred playing position. Ensure the snare drum is securely positioned in the snare basket and that the basket arms are adjusted to hold the drum without impeding its natural resonance. Make final adjustments for comfort and stability before playing.

Regular maintenance of your snare stand involves keeping it clean and checking for any loose or damaged parts. Wipe down the stand with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grime, and periodically inspect the legs, height adjustment, and snare basket for any signs of wear or damage. Tighten any loose screws or bolts to ensure the stand remains stable during use. Lubricate moving parts, such as the height adjustment mechanism, to maintain smooth operation. Store the stand in a dry, cool place to prevent rust and corrosion.
