Snare Drum Stand
Snare drum stands have three arms as a "basket" to cradle the lower rim of the drum. There are several patterns.
The older, traditional pattern has two arms that pivot, and one that slides to accommodate varying sizes of drum. This is satisfactory for a tilted drum; The drum is tilted away from the sliding arm and rests on the two pivoting arms. If it is horizontal, or tilted the wrong way by inexpert players, then the drum is insecure.
