Snare Drum Rack

arizonadrum · 31st July 2008

Me and a buddy of mine just built this snare rack today. We used 1" aluminum pipe and it's very sturdy. The raw materials ended up being a little over $300, so it wasn't cheap but I'm very happy I went with aluminum over wood. We put casters on the bottom which I'm not sure I'll keep. As far as putting it together, the hardest part was cutting the pipe, but the assembly was very easy and quick. I took an old drum rug, cut some strips out of it to wrap around the bars. I worked out really well and I'm very pumped. No more tripping over snares that are lying all over the floor!

Nice work. You should post some detailed measurements, and where you sourced the pipe if others want to try to build one.

it's 32" tall, 4.5 ft wide, 10 inches deep. We got the pipe and joints from Industrial Metal Supply in Phoenix, where we live.
