In the famous words of Bill… “yes, no, maybe, sometimes”… that is to say yes with reference to height and angle, but you might find tipping the snare away from you or down to the right useful if you are exclusively trad grip. You might have seen old videos of jazz and early pop drummers with this approach, even Keith Carlock’s approach to an ergonomic drum setup is well worth considering.
Sorry for not responding when you first wrote this comment, from memory that is a Pearl stand - unsure which model. Interestingly, Bill’s snare is 13x7 size - as a smaller diameter snare, the chucks of the snare stand have further to close raising it higher, which facilitated more height then. Having a smaller diameter and deeper snare (ie 12x7, 13x7, or more etc.) will sit higher which may cause other unwanted issues though, and may need to be countered with a snare stand which can be dropped lower.

Does this apply to matched and traditional grip?

What stand is that?? A concert snare stand? My snare won’t go higher than my knee level. I keep hitting my knees to hit the snare.
