Dixon Drums 80 Series PSS8EX Double Braced Extended Height Snare Drum Stand | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Dixon Drums PSS8EX is a medium-duty, double-braced extended height snare drum stand designed for taller drummers, standing percussionists, and players who need their snare positioned significantly higher than standard stands allow. With a height range of 27.5" to 35.5" — well above the 19"–27" range of typical snare stands — the PSS8EX fills a specific need that standard-height stands simply cannot address. A fine geared tilter provides precise, slip-resistant snare angle adjustment, double-braced legs deliver the stable, floor-planted footprint needed for confident playing at extended heights, and rubber feet with non-slip grooves keep the stand firmly in place on any surface. At 3.0 kg, the PSS8EX is built for the confidence-inspiring stability that taller snare positions require.
Product Overview
Extended height snare stands serve a specific need in the drumming community that is often underserved by standard hardware lineups — taller drummers who play with a higher throne position, standing percussionists who perform without a throne entirely, and players in certain ensemble or theatrical settings where the snare needs to be positioned at a height well above what conventional stands reach. The PSS8EX's 27.5" to 35.5" height range begins where most standard snare stands run out of adjustment travel, making it a direct solution for players who have previously had to compromise their snare position because their stand couldn't reach high enough.
At extended heights, stand stability becomes even more important than at standard heights — a taller stand has a higher center of gravity and is more susceptible to tipping or migration under playing force. The PSS8EX's double-braced legs address this directly, providing the wider, more rigid footprint that keeps a taller stand planted under the lateral forces and vibration of active playing. Double-braced construction significantly reduces the leg flex and floor migration that single-braced stands can exhibit, and at the extended heights the PSS8EX operates in, this structural advantage is particularly meaningful. Rubber feet with non-slip grooves reinforce this stability by maintaining positive floor contact on smooth surfaces, carpet, and the mixed flooring types found in rehearsal halls, stages, and performance venues.
The fine geared tilter holds the snare drum's playing angle precisely through its mechanical gear mechanism rather than a simple friction lock — once the angle is set, it stays there without slipping or drifting through a full performance. This is especially valuable at extended heights where even small angle changes are more visually and physically obvious than at standard stand heights. The 3.0 kg weight reflects the additional material needed for a stable, well-built extended height stand — heavier than basic snare stands but appropriate for the structural requirements of a stand operating at the upper end of the height range.
Ideal For
- Taller drummers whose throne position requires snare height above what standard 19"–27" stands can provide
- Standing percussionists who perform without a throne and need a snare positioned at standing playing height
- Theatrical, orchestral, and marching percussion setups where extended snare height is a functional or aesthetic requirement
- Drummers who want a fine geared tilter's precise, stable angle adjustment at extended heights where consistency matters most
- Drummers in Idaho Falls looking for an extended height snare stand with double-braced stability for confident playing at taller positions
Key Features
Extended Height Range — 27.5" to 35.5"
Provides snare positioning well above what standard stands offer — beginning where most conventional snare stands run out of adjustment travel, serving taller drummers and standing percussionists who need genuine extended height capability.
Double-Braced Legs
Double-braced construction delivers the wider, more rigid footprint needed for confident stability at extended heights — reducing leg flex and stand migration under playing force more effectively than single-braced designs.
Fine Geared Tilter
A mechanical gear tilter holds the snare drum's playing angle precisely without slipping or drifting — consistent angle maintenance throughout a full performance, especially important at extended heights where angle changes are more pronounced.
Rubber Feet with Non-Slip Grooves
Grooved rubber feet maintain stable floor contact on smooth surfaces, carpet, and mixed flooring — reinforcing the double-braced legs' stability with additional anti-migration grip at the floor contact points.
Medium-Duty Build — 3.0 kg
Appropriately weighted for the structural requirements of a double-braced extended height stand — providing confidence-inspiring stability without being unnecessarily heavy for transport.
