Sound great, the clips are a bit tricky but stay in place and haven't slipped at all. Upgrade your wires, worth it for that nice snappy sensitive snare tone!

bel suono, consiglio di nn mettere i suoi fermi( mi si sono levati durante un live, panico) ma di acquistare le classiche linguette

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.

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.

Tiene excelente sonido y está muy bien construido, lo único malo que le veo es la correa de nylon tejido con los seguritos, se enchueca todo el tiempo, prefiero las de plástico o los hilos, se mantiene más centrado.

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 recently decided to buy a lower-end drumkit on Craigslist just to keep around the practice room so our drummer doesn't have to drag her nice kit over just for rehearsal. New heads and some tuning made the kick and toms sound just fine, but the steel snare (Peace brand) had some pretty bad buzz and a long, wailing ring to it that no amount of tuning or new heads could fix. I finally decided to swap the snare wires. The Puresound makes a big difference. It doesn't cut ALL the buzz, but it makes it far more manageable and some light dampening on the batter head takes care of the rest (I'm a fan of the old leather wallet trick.) I'd imagine the improvement might be even greater on a nicer snare.The snare wire was easy to install, and the nylon strap with "ruler" lines made it easy to center on the snareside head. The tone is much richer and more complex than my old snare wire, which just sounded thin. The Puresound is also a bit more responsive to tensioning, making it easier to dial in whatever level of smack or trashcan-rattle you want. I paired it with an Aquarian single-ply snareside head and a Remo Emperor X batterhead and left it a little loose for a nice thick thwack with some sustain. Now my cheap snare sounds pretty good! Plus... it looks pretty sweet.

Nach ein paar Jahren intensiver Nutzung ist der alte Snare-Teppich meines Tama Sets etwas ausgeleiert.Daher habe ich mich für diesen Teppich entschieden da er für meine Zwecke optimal erschien.Ich habe es nicht bereut, denn dieser Teppich passt perfekt, sorgt für einen tighten Snaresound und verhindert durch die optimierte Auflagefläche auf dem Fell, dass der Teppich zu rasseln beginnt (z.B. durch laute Gitarrengeräusche)Zudem ist der Snare Teppich sehr robust und lässt sich sehr gut justieren.

Yes, the idea of cotter pins on snares is not really new. However this incorporates them in a very clean and easy way, while providing some of the best snare wires I have ever played.I have been playing PureSound wires for almost ten years, and they beat out every stock set I have ever come across. The Starclassic wires that came on a SC Bubinga snare drum were complete trash, and made the drum sound just awful. At first, I assumed it was the way I tuned it. After days of retuning, using a Tune-Bot, and trying new heads, I just put on an extra set of these Custom Pros that were sitting in storage. The drum came to life, and with very little adjustment it was crisp and sensitive.There are still some snare drums that keep their stock wires, because they're "ok". However the two that I use with regularity have Custom Pros. The 5.5x14 Bubinga has this 20 strand, and the 6.5x14 G-Maple has the 24 strand. They're sensitive, crisp, and full at all volumes.These wires are not expensive, and will give you amazing sound for a very long time. If you loose the clips, you can replace them with 1 3/16" cotter clips.

I hate writing such a lengthy review as this, but after 35 years of playing, I KNOW this product deserves a thorough review!Here's the rub, and I'll try to be concise.I had the 30-strand puresound blaster on this exact same drum and got a fat, smack-yo-face, lovingly-kiss-mama's cheek- WHATEVER I wanted, depending on how I played the drum and how the snares were tensioned! I just cranked or loosened the strainer knob and worked the lever just a bit. Despite my shortcomings, a bit of perseverance would bring about at the very least nice amounts of "sonic magic".The problem with these snare wires is:(on several drums, not just the one):They are just pretty much "on" or "off"! I, as a HUGE FAN of this company and user of their products for many years, am somewhat, no REALLY- confused. No matter which snare drum I use, the width of the snare bed, etc., etc.- I cannot get these to sound anything like the 30-strand "Blasters" I used to have.Any way, I am going to rate these pretty high with the caveat that you know exatly what you're getting:A "SYSTEM" THAT ALLOWS U TO QUICKLY SWAP OUT SNARE WIRES"? Yes!Do they sound as good as the 'regular' 24 or 30 strand "Blasters? No, not to me they don't.Do they give you more OVERALL versatility, when you consider swapping say a 16 strand for say a 24, 30, or even a 42 strand? Well, heck yes- of course! And you can do it fast, too!But, installed on the same drum: assuming you have a good snare strainer, proper snare bed, etc, do I feel you should buy these over a snare wire set that YOU KNOW SOUNDS GOOD ON YOUR DRUM already?Unequivocally no, I do not.If you're happy with your current snare sound, keep your chosen wires.NOT happy? Then choose these and easily swap out many different wires to see what loves up right in your snare bed...NOTICE: I give these a very high rating given what I feel their strengths are 'as it relates to YOUR perfect sound'. This is probably the easiest way to find that, and then- man o man; you have SO MUCH versatility that may just put you "in the gig" because you could quickly put 4 (or more) different snare sounds on the same drum within SECONDS, literally!Notice, I feel my Blaster 30's from my beloved Puresound gave me WAY MORE VERSATILITY IN MY SOUND CHOICE On MY ONE SNARE DRUM- but, my friend there are few matches made in heaven(that one apparently, was ;-). This crazy swappable wire set may just let you find yours. ;-)
