Gibraltar Concert Snare Drum Stand - Product Information
The Gibraltar 5706EX is probably the best value in concert snare stands. This Concert Height Snare Drum Stand features a stable large leg base with cast height adjustment and gearless offset basket tilter for exact placement. Holds 10" to 15" drums.
I have used a Gibralter Concert Snare Drum Stand for several years and love it! It is easy to set up, take down, and is adjustable to fit different-sized snare drums. It also is much sturdier than the flimsy snare stand we have been using for years in a community concert band. I bought the stand and donated it to the community concert band to replace the piece of garbage stand we have been using! This was a great value for my money. I would highly recommend this snare stand to anyone needing a practice snare stand or to replace a less-than-desirable snare stand in a concert band.

Almost
Comments:
As others have mentioned the basket screw knob is too long, so you can't set the level before tightening it up. Quality and price almost outweigh this flaw.

Durable yet, one major design flaw...
Comments:
I am a percussionist and a band director and got this concert snare stand for my school, because of the price and I've owned Gibraltar items in the past and they've been great.
Pros:
- I love the legs being double braced.
- The snare basket area being big enough for a larger snare drum and goes small enough for practice pads and such.
- The rubber where the snare drum rests is sturdy and durable.
Cons:
- The stand is too tall for some of my smaller kids, but great for average 8th-12th graders for height.
- The snare basket tension knob is terribly designed. Unless the snare is at an angle you cannot loosen or tighten the knob, because the knob will hit the metal post. Therefore, every time you want to take a drum off the stand or put one on you have to tilt the snare basket. It sounds like first world problems, but when you are constantly using different drums in different class periods it can be a hassle.
Suggestion: Find another stand that is not built like this. I hope Gibraltar doesn't do this with future stands, because I like most of their other products.
