Wondering what the best snare stands are for your Dialtune snare drum? We got you covered. The good news is nearly any stand will "work", but given the weight and oversized hoops on Dialtune, some snare stands work better than others.
We've put together an example of how to get "most" snare stands to work by grabbing the inner flange of the hoop - watch this video to see how.
That said, if you're looking at getting a new stand for your Dialtune snare, we have some recommendations at different price points.
$$$ Tama HS100W Star Series Snare Stand
$$$ DW 9000 Heavy Duty Double Braced Tom/Snare Stand
$ Tama HS80LOW Road Pro Snare Stand - Low Profile
$$$ - TAMA HS100W Star Series Snare Stand
We like the Tama HS100W Star Series Snare Stand as it's designed to securely hold snare drums ranging from 12 inches to 15 inches in diameter. Our oversized hoops fit well in this stand. Highly recommend.

$$$ - DW 9000 Heavy Duty Double Braced Tom/Snare Stand (DWCP9399)
This DW stand is a solid choice for Dialtune 14" snare drums. While spendy, you get what you pay for. It features a crutch tip with an integrated Neoprene isolator for optimal resonance. It's crazy easy to articulate the snare basket, giving you a lot of choices in the angle to position your snare. The larger footprint gives the stand a sturdy feel, ensuring your snare sits exactly where you want it. One note, we found the stand arms can get close to the reso head when you are fitting the snare fully in the basket cradle. Alternatively, we tighten the basket arms so they grip the inner flange of reso side quick-release hoop.

$$ - Pearl S-1030 Snare Stand
The Pearl S-1030 snare stand is sturdy, silent, and adjustable. We love it because it's nearly indestructible. The team at Dialtune has found this stand perfect for both stage and studio work. The die-cast pipe joints are built to withstand punishment, and its newly designed Trident Tripod Base and double-braced legs provide good stability. Oversized rubber feet keep your snare firmly in place, whereas Pearl's GyroLock tilter lets you position your snare exactly where you need it. What's more, the new Air Suspension Rubber tips promote increased resonance.
$ - Tama HS80LOW Road Pro Snare Stand - Low Profile
Here is a good stand at a good price. This HS80LOW offers a low-position basket, which you can set nearly 4" lower than the standard Tama's standard HS80W snare stand. The Road Pro snare basket itself allows the HS80LOW to accommodate a wide range of 12" to 15" snare drums (for Dialtune, make sure you max it out to cradle the outer hoop), as its unequally spaced, asymmetrical basket arms and independently rotating basket won't interfere with your drum's strainer and snares. The Escape Claws also bring out the most in your drum, allowing it to float instead of clamping it down tight and killing the resonance.
