A snare drum stand is a piece of equipment designed to hold a snare drum securely in place while a drummer plays. These stands are adjustable in height and often feature a tripod base for stability. They typically have rubber feet to prevent slipping and protect the floor. Most snare drum stands use a basket or clamp mechanism to grip the drum, allowing for easy setup and removal. Some models also include a tilt adjustment, enabling drummers to position the drum at their preferred angle. This versatility makes snare drum stands essential for both practice and live performances.
