Simple Question about the 13" Hart Pro Snare

[Precizionist]

Hi does the 13" Hart Pro Snare come with the l-rod mounting bracket like the roland mesh pads? If it doesnt, is anything like that available for sale individually (that can be attached to the Hart Snare). Thank you for your help.

The Hart Pro-series pads use the Pearl-style (7/8") mounting bracket, not the L-rod bracket. It's my recollection, however, that the Hart Pro Snare has no mounting bracket as it is intended to be used with a conventional snare stand.

Oh ok.. but is there anything like that for sale that can be attached to the snare so it can mount on an l-rod? Thank you for your help

That is correct. Hart snares are also very heavy. I don't think I'd try to mount one to an l-rod even if it were possible.

Oh ok thanks for the info.. Appreciate it..

It is really recommended that you use a standard snare stand for it. However, Gibraltar has a "no leg snare stand" option that will allow you to mount your snare to your rack.

Mount No Leg Snare Stand to Rack



Gibraltar's No Leg Snare Stand 9505NL creates extra space for pedals and keep your set-up clean. This option removes the stand's tripod base out of the set-up, yet keeps the snare drum solidly in place. Use the SC-EA100 Extension Arm with grabber clamp attached to the No Leg Snare Stand and mount the tube section to the vertical rack tube with a SC-GRSMC or SC-GRSSMC Multi Clamp.

I'm with Vader - those things are built like a Chieftan Tank and weigh as much. A proper braced stand is a must I feel.

Hey, that's pretty cool. I've never seen one of those before. I figure it would probably work for a Hart snare. I know I have to position my snare stand juuuuust right or else the legs interfere with my double bass pedals. If I were actually any good at playing double bass, it would bug me.

Same thing....I have to get the snare stand "just right" for my double bass. I've been playing with the idea of getting one of these as it would really open up some space for that and the hi-hat when I finally get an EPedal II. BTW, they make these no leg stands for hi-hats too for those who can use regular hat stand (VH11 and 12 users).

Cool. Be sure to write us a review if you decide to give that idea a try.

Another downside to attaching the snare to the rack is increased chances of crosstalk. It's better to have the kick and snare isolated if you can. This may not make as much difference on the newer modules but it was quite an issue for TD-10's and TD-8's.

Erik, have you ever used or had any experience with these no leg stands?

I use a DW 9300 snare stand with my hart pro snare. The DW has an offset of about 8 inches so the legs sit further from you than the actual drum. My stand acutally sits behind the link bar on my double pedals, so there is plenty of room.

I don't have a picture at the moment so I hope my explaination makes sense.

[artie]

Just to add to what labenske said about the DW 9300, the 8" offset is kind of like having your snare on a mini-boom arm. You can set the base/tripod out in front or off to one side and still have the snare directly in front of you. BTW, Taye makes a "boom snare stand" (SB5000BT and SB6000BT) that appears to have a longer extension arm than the DW. I've not seen or tried it so I don't know how well it works.
