Concert Snare Drum Stand, Double-Braced Drum Hardware for Snares (6706EX)

I needed a lower stand that is not too low, and has gearless tilter. It goes just low enough to be more confortable for me while still fine with my 5.25" snare. I love the infinite adjustments on the basket and the feet are super sturdy. I was hesitant to buy this after reading a review at an online music store about problems with 10-lug snares, and it turned out to be true, the 3 symmetrical arms really can't be put around 10 lugs in a way to avoid the hoop holes, but you can find a position where two are just barely on the edge where it curves out. In the end I loved the stand so much, I wanted to keep it no matter what.

I bought this stand to use with a handpan. It works wonderfully. The weight added by being heavy duty makes it incredibly sturdy. No wobbles or even a worry of it tipping.

Expensive but worth it. Really heavy duty quality material stand that be put in any position because of the ball and socket hinge.

UPDATE: I bought a second stand and, lo and behold, it shipped with a proper length tube. Well done, Gibraltar! Upgrading to Five stars.For those considering ordering this stand: height adjustment is severely limited by the length of the down tube from the snare basket. It is physically impossible to use the stand with the basket lowered all the way into the base as the down tube protrudes approx. 4-5" inches below the base such that the legs will not touch the ground. This is an easy fix with a pipe cutting tool, but really, for brand new hardware manufactured by a subsidiary of an aerospace company, you shouldn't have to resort to sawing off the pipe. That said, I sawed off the pipe. Post-surgery, this is an excellent snare drum stand. Exceptionally sturdy for a flat base model and lightweight. Five star performance from the stand, but two stars have been subtracted - one for each inch of pipe I removed. Read this and consider modifications, Gibraltar/Kaman!

Great. Very heavy duty. Didn’t realize how difficult it was to find a quality concert height stand with a ball system rather than one with standard gear tilting. I’ve had difficulties finding a snare stand that would keep the drum completely level. This does that but I wish there was a lighter weight option. It’s very tall also. I’m 6’ tall and at its lowest, it’s the perfect standing height.

I'm not a working musician....but a stay at home musician. I've played the Gibraltar 9000 series snare stand for 10, problem free, years. Recently bought this 9706 snare stand as a second stand for rehearsal time away from my studio.I have the earlier 9000 model snare stand and love it. My snares are deep, 8 X 14 and 12 X 14 and the Gibraltar 9706 adjusts in height to capacitate the extra depth. The infinite angle adjust allows me full customization of my snare head plane. Excellent price, robust construction and a gamut of adjusts makes this a highly recommend snare stand.

This is just what I needed for my Handpan. Advertised for a snare drum but works perfectly and at less than half the advertised cost for a Handpan stand. Completely adjustable in all ways

I have used the same Gibraltar pro series hardware for over 15 years. Weekly regular setup/breakdown and moving around. It is still as solid, tight, and stable as it was on day one! Love this hardware and worth every penny over the long run - you will never need to buy hardware again!!
