Gibraltar 4706 4000 Snare Drum Stand Review:
What To Expect from This Stand
Quality
For a budget snare drum stand, this one has surprisingly good quality. A lot of snare drums in this price range tend to feel a bit flimsy, and their tilters don’t lock very securely.
This stand offers fantastic reliability, and it works brilliantly with most snare drums. It’s great to have a light snare stand with double-braced legs, as you get a bit more sturdiness than the ones with single-braced legs.
Also, the nylon collar inserts feel fantastic, and they keep the noise of your snare drum hardware very low.
Construction
You would assume that this stand feels a bit flimsy due to it being a low-weight option, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Most drummers would be happy with the construction quality, as it’s superbly reliable.
The rubber feet at the base of each leg also feel fantastic, and they ensure that the snare drum never moves.
The only downside when it comes to construction is that the snare basket arms are a bit thin. That’s not an issue for light snare drums, but it stops the stand from being able to comfortably hold snare drums with weighty metal shells.
Performance
The performance quality of this snare drum stand is excellent. There isn’t too much to mention about drum hardware when it comes to performance, as you just want things to work well.
This snare stand works incredibly well, especially if you’re only using it to hold a snare with a wooden shell.
As we said earlier, you’ll start feeling a dip in performance quality when you try to place a heavy snare drum on it. It will start to wobble a bit, and it can sometimes topple over if you’re not careful about widening the feet.
