The cradle has high grade rubber grip points which are tapered for minimum contact with the drum shell allowing your snare to resonate more freely. The basket is mounted on the Natal Hex Rod for ultimate stability. Unlike the more common round rod the Hex Rod’s shape means that it simply cannot slip from side to side once it is locked into place. The Standard Series Snare Stand is lighter and more affordable than the Pro making it easier to transport and easier on the pocket. It is supplied with memory locks, Natal branded wing nuts and high grade non-slip rubber feet.
