PureSound Customs Are a Sure Upgrade for Your Snare

Whatever snare drum you play — steel, wood, or acrylic — PureSound Custom series snare wires can have you sounding your best. PureSound Custom snare wires are manufactured in the USA from crisp, lively, medium-gauge steel, and with consistent sizing and spacing. This means all wires tension evenly across the bottom head and react at the same time, allowing you to quickly find your ideal balance of shell tone and buzz. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to learn more about our PureSound snare wires and find the set that's right for you.

16 or 20 strands — which snare wires should I choose?

Here's a tip from Sweetwater drummers: the more snare wires you have, the crisper and more sensitive your snare drum will become. So if you prefer a slappy, white-noise sort of attack, more strands is your best bet. On the other hand, if you like a more prominent shell tone, fewer strands may yield the sound you're after. Fortunately, PureSound Custom snare wires are available in both 16- and 20-strand models, and in a variety of sizes to accommodate every drummer's needs.

PureSound 14" Custom Snare Wires Features:

  • Traditional-style snare wires
  • 20 strands
  • Crafted to perfection
  • Easy to find your ideal balance of shell and snare
  • Medium-gauge steel is crisp, lively, and durable
  • Consistent spacing — snare wires tension evenly across the head
  • Designed and manufactured in the USA

The hidden gem of a good snare sound
A lot of drummers neglect the fact that good snare wires is AS an important upgrade as replacing stock heads. It may seem silly, but things like coil consistency, material and perfectly machine-even spacing between wires can make an okay snare sound into a killer snare sound. This upgrade is a must and puresound does it hands down the best.

Wonderful Product
I never knew how much I needed these until I got them. I've had the stock wires on my Yamaha Rock Tour snare for quite some time with no complaints, but just thought it was time for a change. And these snare wires were such a step up from those; they give all the attack and snap one would want out of their snare, and don't overstay their welcome. They also have very little cross-talk with the toms and kick of my kit, so there's another plus. All around great set of snare wires that I'd recommend to anyone looking.

it's a snare wire
It works like it's supposed to.
I'm using it on my 5x14 steel gretsch which snares broke.
It's a little more snappy since this has a few more wires than the stock snare did.
Doesn't come with straps or strings for installation , so re-use whatever you got.
You would think for that much money, it would come with that stuff.
