Biggest issue with the height is if it hits the top snare rim. That particular strainer was meant to be higher up with no issues. I know Gibraltar re makes those. Really each strainer will be different. So I'd make a list of ones such as that Slingerland ( or Sling clone ) that you know go above the batter rim without any interaction between the rim and strainer.

I have one of these. Not the nices working strainer I know, defenitley needs lubing before using.

My guess is it would work.

There may be a risk of the distance from lever to shell is a bit to small and you will need to put washers between attchmentpoint and shell to place the throw a bit firther from the shell.

Thanks for the replies,I had not even thought of these problems/work arounds.

I remember seeing drummers use snare throws like these in the Dance/Variety bands I saw as a kid in the early seventies,I remember playing one when I first started playing.
