Double braced snare drum stand that has an upgraded centred ball and socket tilter that allow for almost limitless angle adjustment. The location of the tilter also allows the full power of each stroke since the force is driven straight into the vertical tube. The basket can be quickly detached from the vertical tube by loosening a single wing nut, allowing for compact storage or quick snare drum changes at a gig. The three-arm basket design allows the stand to sit almost 5 cm lower than standard stands
