Low snare stands.

I was just curious what companies make low snare stands.

Mine is too high, especially when i use my 13 x 7 snares.

I was wondering if the DW 9300L would go lower than my Mapex 950?

Can't answer about the DW stand as I haven't used one but I love my Mapex snare stand. I don't have any snares deeper than 6.5" but it works great. And it's not an expensive one -- came with an M series kit.

I bought a Mapex 750 series snare stand for this reason...

On my Pro-M - I have a 14x8 Snare. With the 550 stand, it was too high.

With the 750, I can cock the ratchet-part down, and use the ball-mount to angle it back more verticle. Ends up being quite a bit lower, now at a comfortable spot.

That said, the 950 stand supposedly goes lower, but I don't know for sure.

Ludwig makes a very nice low profile stand. I have two of them.

Yeah, i originally traded in my 550 when i go my kit for the 950, but i still feel like the stand needs to be lower. I mean i even look at pics of peoples kits and i see their stand way lower than mine...and I am tall!

I will try that trick with the ratchet part. I didn't think of that.

I even find my tom stand too high, and it is at the lowest position.

Maybe try sitting a little higher? The higher you sit, the lower the drums are.

I'm already sitting pretty high (thighs are way past parallel to the ground)

Save over $100 and just raise the {censored}ing throne a few inches.

So you sit "almost on" your snare? If so, that can make it seem to high. Back off a few inches, and it'll also help.

Also, angle your snare slightly towards your snare hand, so you're not knocking the rim, if it's bothersome.

That said, I sit high anyway...I'm 6', and I think my thighs are not parallel to the ground. I'm not sitting on a toilet back there!

pretty smart feller

I bought a Gibraltar rack-mounted snare stand with the single leg that reaches the floor, and hacked about 6" off the leg. Gets as low as I want now.

Lmao

Just an FYI, the Ludwig Modular Low Profile stand goes down to an impressive 13" from the floor.

I don't get the super low snare thing.

Saw a guy on Palladia last night who's snare was below his knees!!

But if that's your thing, so be it.

Go with the Ludwig.

I need the low profile stand for my 6.5. Otherwise, it's just too damned high for me. I sit with my thighs slightly higher than parallel.

That's true.

Deep drum needs lower stand.

You should put up a picture of your set up with you behind it. This sounds like it couldn't possibly be ergonomic.
