One of the hardest challenges was to find a hardware-solution for the 10" Gretsch Snare. First I had tried to raise it with a Gretsch Tom-holder, which I wanted to fix to another Meinl PM-1. But the snare became unstable and tended to fall. At last though it's really an expensive piece of hardware I invested in a DW Bassdrum-lifter. But it was all worth it, because this piece of gear is so flexible and stable. I think you can lift anything with it.
In the picture below you can see the DW lifter in action. Even if the snare is so small like mine it's possible to adjust it.
Side Kick Drums has a Snare Kick Riser Stand for standard size snare drums. it holds the snare on its side to be struck with a bass pedal. Works great for a foot operated snare for drummers; acoustic duos or one man bands when used with a bass drum. check it out at www.sidekickdrums.com
