Drum stands hold a kit in position, with cymbal stands for crashes and rides, a snare stand under the snare and a hi-hat stand worked by a foot pedal.
About Drum & Cymbal Stands
Drum stands are the hardware backbone of any kit. Cymbal stands hold your crashes and rides at playing height, a snare drum stand puts the snare exactly where you want it, and a hi-hat stand controls the open and close of your hats from a foot pedal. Solid stands stay put through a full set, while flimsy or worn hardware slips, rattles and creeps mid-song.
The SWAMP range covers light duty stands for practice rooms and rehearsal spaces through to heavy duty models for gigging, including straight and boom cymbal stands, snare stands and a direct pull action hi-hat stand. They make an easy upgrade or replacement for the stock hardware bundled with entry-level drum kits, and spares like memory locks, wingnuts and floor tom legs live in drum accessories. Round out your setup with kick pedals and a comfortable drum stool.
Drum Stand FAQs
What is the difference between a straight and a boom cymbal stand?
A straight stand holds the cymbal directly above its base, while a boom stand adds an angled arm that reaches the cymbal in over the kit. Booms give far more positioning freedom, straight stands are simpler and lighter.
Should I choose light or heavy duty drum stands?
Light duty stands suit home practice and easy transport. Heavy duty stands use thicker tubing and sturdier bracing, which pays off for hard hitters, heavier cymbals and regular gigging.
Will these stands work with my existing kit?
Yes, in almost all cases. Cymbal, snare and hi-hat stands are freestanding and not tied to any drum brand, so they can replace or extend the hardware of virtually any acoustic kit.
