Cable Type Descriptions For The Multisonic Series:

Gold Coated Cable

The thickest cable type, responding best at loud dynamic levels. The dry, throaty character of this material type is similar to the traditional gut snares.

Blue Coated Cable

Not as thick as the Gold version and responds best at medium to loud dynamic ranges. The dry character provides both articulation and volume.

Stainless Steel Cable

Responds best at soft to medium dynamic ranges. The bright, wet character balances the drum's overall volume.

Wire Wound

Responds best in the softer dynamic ranges. The crisp, bright character provides the greatest sensitivity and response.
