The Jim Kilpatrick Standard Snare Drum Carrier is the only pipe band snare carrier specifically developed to support correct posture and playing position, delivering unprecedented comfort and freedom of movement while promoting long-term physical wellbeing. Lightweight and collapsible, it is designed for ease of transport without compromising strength or stability, making it ideal for both rehearsals and performances.
 
This carrier features fully adjustable standard magnesium shoulder supports, combined with advanced Contour Hinge technology to allow natural movement and precise positioning. The innovative “Starship” bracket incorporates a sliding height adjustment system and is constructed from ultra-light yet exceptionally durable materials, ensuring reliability under demanding performance conditions.
 
The Kilpatrick May abdomen plate is virtually free-floating and bears no weight from the drum, allowing complete freedom of movement and reducing strain on the body. The carrier includes a Jim Kilpatrick snare carrier adaptor as standard. Andante users should note that the Andante snare drum carrier adaptor is not included and must be purchased separately.
 
This carrier is so advanced that it is protected by multiple patents recognising its innovation and engineering excellence. Please note that a high-tension drum key is required to adjust all Jim Kilpatrick carriers. This is not included with the carrier but is available for purchase separately.
