Evans PURESOUND Custom Pro Brass Snare Wire - Snare Drum Wires - Drum Wire - CPB1424 - 24 Strand, 14 Inch

Bought these to replace the stock snares that were snapping off. I use my kit about 2-3 times a week for around an hour and a half to two hours at a time. Two years in and they still function well, sound great and haven’t had one snap off yet. These will be my go to replacement snares, great product.

Needed to replace the snares on my drum kit. This fit perfectly. The included quick pins work just fine. Easy to install. Price was better than buying at a local shop and shipping was fast. After installing, the sound was a crisp clear precise snare rattle.

Great snare wires for the money! I love this on my Gretsch full range 14x6.5 and give a great, snappy response. My favorite feature of Puresound wires is the strap system - I can get extremely precise with my tension on the snare and the entire set-up feels solid and stable. The brass wires, to me, speak with clarity at any tension and I use the 20 strand wires on ALL my gigging snares.

I'm a casual drummer, and just replaced the snare wire from the factory ones. I have a PDP Mainstage from Guitar Center, which is an entry level kit. Even if my factory wire wasn't broken, this is a worthy and affordable upgrade. I really like the quality of the sound, the straps. The wire, and bracket are durable, and the straps having a ruler makes centering the wire easy.

I picked the 24 strand because I noticed my snare bed was a little wider in this AK brass drum I had. I feel like I picked up some snare sensitivity near the edges and I’m very pleased overall with the warm brass sound. Clarity was not affected. Excellent.

I love these snare wires because they come with the Quick Release straps. The straps have measurements on each side to ensure you center the snare wires. You can pull the Cotter pins and remove the snare wires to replace the snare side reso head and re-install the snare wires at the exact same tension as before with no guess work!

Maybe I'm just dumb, and I've never replaced snare wires so I'm going uphill already, but the mounting system was not something I could figure out. I would get it on and start playing, but they would fall out in the middle of a song. Once I did get them mounted, they sounded amazing though. Really nice, thick, crack to them even on my reso great that is older than I care to admit

The product was shipped in an envelope instead of a box, and the post personal folded it bending the delicate brass wires. Not to smart. Good thing they weren't kinked. After some coaxing I was able to get it to all lay flat. Installation was easy. It definitely sounds much better than what was factory.

Puresound custom pros are fantastic. Great sound, solid build quality, great attachment method, simply can't be beat! The brass is bright and snappy with good volume, a must for any snare drum.

Enclenché le timbre a un bon son gras. Mais quand on déclenche le timbre des parasites persiste, en raison que le timbre n'est pas assez grand pour une 14".

Buen producto, revivió mi tarola

Bought the "ubiquitous" Ludwig LM402 Supraphonic, and to my surprise hated it out of the box. Couldn't get it tuned to my liking. I have a Gretsch snare that I fitted puresound wires to, so I knew they sounded great already. In that case, I used the 42 strand variant. Swapped out the ludwig snare wires for these, which made a huge difference. (Phase 2 will be fitting a Remo Emperor X to reduce some of the ring). Despite the reports about the speed release being dodgy, never had any issues here. (Search for the youtube video where the guy shows how to fit them through the smaller loop if you struggle). Brilliant wires!
