DW DWCP3300A 3000 Series Snare Stand

Quick Product Summary

The DW DWCP3300A 3000 Series Snare Stand is a versatile, medium-weight stand designed to deliver dependable support, easy positioning and excellent stability across a wide range of playing situations.

Its double-braced tripod, compact footprint and smooth Glide Tilter basket adjustment make it equally at home supporting a snare in a compact bop setup, rehearsal room, studio or hard-working live kit.

What Makes the DW DWCP3300A Special?

The DWCP3300A combines substantial double-braced construction with a relatively compact footprint, providing a strong balance between portability and stability. DW's toothless Glide Tilter gives you smooth, variable basket-angle adjustment rather than restricting the snare to fixed ratchet positions, making it easier to dial in a comfortable playing angle.

DW also equips the stand with Reso Pocket crutch tips, designed to support the drum securely while reducing unnecessary contact around the basket. An integrated memory lock helps you quickly return to your preferred playing height after transporting or packing away the stand.

The DWCP3300A is ideal for:

• Gigging and working drummers

• Players upgrading from entry-level snare hardware

• Rock, pop, funk, jazz and general-purpose setups

• Rehearsal rooms and recording studios

• Drummers wanting a compact but sturdy snare stand

• Players who prefer double-braced hardware

FAQs

Is the DWCP3300A a double-braced snare stand?

Yes. The DWCP3300A features double-braced tripod legs, providing a sturdy foundation for regular practice, rehearsal, recording and live use.

What is the Glide Tilter?

DW's Glide Tilter is a toothless basket-angle adjustment system. Rather than using predetermined ratchet positions, it allows the snare basket to be positioned more freely at your preferred angle.

Can the height of the DWCP3300A be adjusted?

Yes. The stand offers adjustable height positioning so you can set the snare at a comfortable level for your playing position.

Does it have a memory lock?

Yes. A memory lock is integrated into the tube joint, helping you quickly recreate your preferred height after transporting or storing the stand.

What are Reso Pocket crutch tips?

The basket incorporates DW's Reso Pocket crutch-tip design, providing secure contact points for the drum while keeping the basket support system compact and player-friendly.

Is the DWCP3300A suitable for gigging?

Yes. Its combination of medium-weight construction, double-braced legs and repeatable memory-lock adjustment makes it particularly useful for musicians who regularly set up and dismantle their drum kit.

Is it suitable for jazz as well as rock?

Yes. The DWCP3300A is designed to be versatile enough for a wide range of playing environments. Its compact footprint works well with smaller setups, while the double-braced construction provides the stability required for more energetic styles.

How does the DWCP3300A differ from the DWCP3300SA?

The DWCP3300A uses double-braced legs, while the DWCP3300SA uses single-braced legs. The DWCP3300A places greater emphasis on stability, while the single-braced version is aimed at players prioritising lower carrying weight.

Can I adjust the angle of my snare drum?

Yes. The Glide Tilter provides smooth basket-angle adjustment, allowing you to position the snare to suit traditional, matched, tilted or relatively flat playing setups.

Is the DWCP3300A suitable for beginners?

Yes. Its simple adjustment system makes it straightforward for developing drummers, while the robust construction means it can continue to serve as their playing requirements increase.

Is this the concert-height DW snare stand?

No. The DWCP3300A is the standard 3000 Series snare stand. Players needing additional height for standing or concert percussion applications should look towards a dedicated concert-height model.

Is a snare drum included?

No. This listing is for the DW DWCP3300A snare stand only. A snare drum must be purchased separately.
