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.
Perfectly suited for high-performance concert applications, the Gibraltar 8706EX stand is built for musicians who play standing, including symphonic snare drummers, pit ensemble performers, and studio professionals. Its extended height and flat base design support proper posture and playing ergonomics during long sessions or stage work.
The flat base design replicates the classic vintage style preferred by traditionalists, while offering modern strength and stability. It provides wide, even ground contact while keeping the setup footprint minimal—perfect for shared rehearsal spaces, theater pits, or performance halls with limited space between instruments.
Achieve your preferred snare drum angle with ease thanks to the single lock basket tilter. Whether you prefer a level drum or slight tilt, this system provides a secure hold that resists slipping, even through aggressive rolls and high-dynamic passages.
Engineered with an extended height range, the stand can be comfortably set for a variety of player heights while standing. The height adjustment collars are reinforced with ABS inserts to reduce wear, eliminate metal-on-metal noise, and prolong the life of the hardware—an essential feature for educators, touring percussionists, and long-term use.
The cast collar incorporates Gibraltar’s exclusive Key Lock system, which locks the central shaft into position. This ensures zero movement or slippage, maintaining your exact setup throughout long sets, rehearsals, or high-energy performances. Your drum stays put—no matter how intense your playing gets.
