DrumCraft Series 4 Snare Stand

I bought this for a 6.5 inch snare and for this depth it's a great little stand. It gets lower than other cheap stands, which is a must if you play deep snares and sit quite low. I've tried it also on my piccolo snare and was surprised at how much the upper arm had angled when tightened. The screw pushes the narrower tube against the wall of the larger bottom one, tilting it quite a bit. This of course happens only when a large part of the upper tube is out. For deeper snares this is not an issue. Also, I don't understand why manufacturers don't engineer the gears precisely. I haven't had a single snare stand which would hold a snare perfectly flat. There's always a bit of tilt. I'm sure some more expensive stands do it, but still, it should be mandatory for every snare stand. This said, it's inexpensive, it looks very nice, is well made and for my needs it will serve its purpose just fine.
