Puresound snare wires feature the highest quality craftsmanship and components and are available in a wide choice of models to fit a wide variety of modern and vintage drumset, concert and marching snare drums - providing the tone, range, sensitivity and durability that have established
Puresound as the world's leading snare wire specialist.
Blasters Series
Blasters snare wires - the professional quality snares developed by Puresound for high volume, high intensity drumming— are now available for a complete range of 10, 12, 13 and 14" snare drums. The B-1016, B-1220, B-1320 and B-1420 models feature specially formulated, premium-grade steel-alloy wires on angled, copper-colored end clips. According to Puresound, the exclusive bent end clips create greater snare wire contact across entire surface of the drum head; offering increased activity, consistency, response and projection.
Custom Series
Puresound's Custom Series wires are available in 12, 16, 20 or 24 strand models which feature medium-gauge wire with evenly spaced, standard coils. The original, 16-strand model is the most popular and, due to its superior quality, outperforms most other manufacturer's 18 and 20-strand versions. The Custom line offers four different strand configurations that can be employed to change the balance between the drum and snare components of the sound. Assuming that tuning and snare tension remain constant, models with more strands tend to allow the snares to be more active in influencing the sound while those with less strands allow the drum to be more prominent in the overall drum sound.
Concert Series
Puresound Concert wires have been developed specifically for use on concert and orchestral snare drums and are made from a specially formulated stainless steel alloy combined with an extended coil pattern to create a deeper, drier, darker tone with increased articulation for 13" and 14" snare drums.
Equalizer Series
The Equalizer line has been created to modify the spread and activity of the snare sound by working in conjunction with the snare drum's natural acoustics and snare bed design. Equalizers feature an off-set design that removes the strands from the middle of the drum - in effect decreasing the vibration of the wires-somewhat like laminating a dot in the center of the head. Not only is the snare drum drier and crisper with an Equalizer, it is less influenced by sympathetic vibrations from other drums and instruments.
Vintage Series
Puresound's Vintage Series snare wires are designed not only to replace worn and no longer available wires on vintage snare drums, they are also designed to enhance the performance of those classic drums. With a new set of Puresound wires, Dynasonics, Radio Kings, WFLs and Super-Sensitives will sound and perform as well if not better than they did when they were new.
