Angle adjustment section

Setting angle of the snare differs depending on the drummer. The gear type snare stand can be adjusted back and forth. There is also a snare stand that can change its angle in all directions, using a ball and clamp.

Adjustment method

Most snare stands are constructed so that the arms secure the snare evenly. By fixing this part firmly, you can get a more cohesive sound.

Height adjustment range

The height adjustment range of the snare stand is generally around 45 to 65 cm, but there is also a special stand created for the extremely deep-body snare or standing and playing.

Stability

The power hitter in particular has had this experience, but it is a hassle when the position of the snare changes little by little while playing. In such a case, choose a snare stand with double legs or heavy legs. Some snare stand models have spikes that can be pulled out, making it ideal for preventing snare stand movement.

The area around the snare stand must is cluttered with a variety of hardware, including hi-hat pedals, kick pedals, and cymbal stands. Even if there is not enough space, it may not be stable if you don't open the legs enough, so let's set it up appropriately considering the balance with the peripheral equipment.
