Looking for a snare stand that stands tall—literally? Meet the Gibraltar 8706EX, the extended-height flat base stand designed for concert halls, marching setups, and pit percussionists who demand total control. With a solid flat base tripod, a Key Lock collar that won't budge, and a basket tilter that keeps your snare exactly where you want it, this stand is made to perform under pressure. From 10" to 15" metal hoop snares, your drum stays elevated, stable, and stage-ready. The Gibraltar 8706EX Tall Flat Base Snare Drum Stand from the 8000 Series is purpose-built for players who perform standing—whether on stage, in the pit, or in rehearsal. Its extended height and minimalist flat base design make it an outstanding choice for orchestral percussionists, school music programs, and studio professionals seeking reliability and versatility in a compact footprint. Unlike traditional tripod bases, the flat base tripod is engineered to take up less space while still offering rock-solid support. The Key Lock collar system keeps the central shaft firmly locked, so once you’ve dialed in your preferred snare height and angle, it stays locked in—even during dramatic dynamic shifts or physically expressive passages. The single lock basket tilter allows you to set and secure your drum angle quickly. Whether you're playing a standard 14" concert snare or rotating through smaller auxiliary snares, you’ll experience consistent, balanced support throughout your performance. The hinged height adjustment system features ABS inserts, preventing direct metal contact and helping eliminate vibrations, unwanted rattling, and long-term hardware fatigue. This thoughtful detail ensures the stand remains smooth, quiet, and road-ready—even after repeated use. Designed to fit 10 to 15 inch snare drums with metal hoops, the Gibraltar 8706EX is adaptable, durable, and refined for the most demanding musical applications. Whether you’re leading a percussion section or holding down a solo performance, this stand delivers confidence, control, and Gibraltar’s industry-trusted craftsmanship.
