DW 3000 Concert Snare Stand, Standing Height
The DW 3302A is a snare stand that rises to standing playing height. It is the tool of the orchestral percussionist, the marching drummer and anyone who plays snare without sitting down, where an ordinary drum kit stand stops too low.
What sets it apart
- Rises to a comfortable standing playing height
- Double-braced legs, stable under heavy playing
- Basket set with the Glide Tilter
- Reso Pocket feet at the floor
- Medium-weight build, easy to carry
- Same hardware family as the rest of the 3000 series
Standing up, the basket angle becomes the issue
Seated, your wrist falls naturally onto the head and a nearly flat basket works. Standing, your forearm comes in from a little higher, and a few degrees of tilt decide whether the rebound comes back to your hand or gets lost.
The Glide Tilter sets that angle continuously, with no notches forcing you to choose between two neighbouring positions. You find the angle once, then return to it.
What the Reso Pocket feet do to the sound
A metal stand resting directly on a wooden stage passes part of the drum's vibration into the floor. On a concert snare, that leak is audible: the tone loses some of its length.
The Reso Pocket feet sit at that point of contact. They keep the stand in place and preserve some of the drum's resonance, which matters more in a concert hall than in a rehearsal room.
A stand that serves other purposes too
Concert height matters beyond the orchestra. A drummer mounting an auxiliary snare very high, a percussionist playing standing next to a keyboard, a street ensemble rehearsing indoors: all are after the same thing, a basket that goes higher than usual.
The double-braced legs make that height possible without the whole stand becoming unstable, which would be the expected flaw of an extended column.

Frequently asked questions
- How tall does it go, exactly?
- DW describes a concert height that lets you play comfortably standing, without publishing a figure. So we do not give a value we could not guarantee.
- Will it hold a regular drum kit snare?
- Yes, the basket is a standard snare basket. What sets it apart is the height it reaches, not the diameter it accepts.
- Why a tilter with no notches?
- Because a notch forces you to choose between two neighbouring angles. The Glide Tilter lets you stop exactly where the rebound comes back right.
- Will the feet mark a varnished stage?
- The Reso Pocket feet are designed for floor contact and dampen transmission; on a delicate hardwood floor, a rug is still recommended.
