Question 1

Does the snare stand go high enough to be used with practice pad for the player to play standing?

Accepted Answer

Not if the person is tall. I'm 6'2" and have to bend over to play standing. Under 6' might be ok. Obviously, the shorter the person the more comfortable playing standing will be. However, I really like the set. The stand is quality constructed and the pad has nice rebound.

Question 2

Does all the item comes in one package or they are in separate boxes

Accepted Answer

I think they all came in one box.

Question 3

Does the bag hold a regular snare drum?

Accepted Answer

No, just what comes in it really. The pad case is tightly fitted and Velcro-ed on your big pouch. I can fit my notebook and a few mallets and sticks in the big pouch with the stand legs, but mostly I just use the pouch for mallets and extra headphones, and I leave the stand at home. The stand is okay, but not as adjustable as I would have liked. The knob is a huge pain. But if you’re not too tall, and won’t move it often, it is strong and ok.

The sticks are unhelpful too. After 3rd lesson, I was advised to buy good sticks. My progress improved a lot when they came in.

The pad is only good for the first few months of practice. After that, I never used it. I had to go to studio to use a snare & kit there. I know it’s louder, but you need the snappy rebound to do any real rudiment practice. (Like you need a basketball to have enough air to practice dribbling. Imagine practicing basketball with a bowling ball).

If you MUST get a practice pad, For noise, get a really good one that can be used for a long time. Build your own custom kit and put it in a backpack that you really like, with flaps & pockets. You won’t carry a snare in it. The snare, even a practice snare, usually gets its own protective bag if you have to haul it a lot of stuff.

Get headphones for protection during practice, and for listening to tracks to play along. Jamming makes the boring practice worthwhile when it comes to life.

So, get a teacher to recommend what to get, and then spend your money on good useful stuff. It cost me extra in the end to have to do this twice. If this is for Christmas, get also practice tips for sticks. They just smush on, they’re cheap, and you can paradiddle anywhere on anything. And so cheap!

Question 4

I know the description says the basket fits 10-14, but can it fit an 8inch?

Accepted Answer

I don’t understand your question , are you asking about the stand, and other component that come in the bag, they all fix nicely in the provided bag. 10-14 are larger than 8, unless it’s the wide part ?
