There is a lot of debate surrounding copper snare drums, with some people swearing by them and others not being so sure. There is no doubt that copper snare drums have a unique sound, and many drummers love the way they cut through the mix. However, some people find them to be too bright and harsh-sounding, and prefer other materials such as wood or steel. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, and you will need to experiment with different materials to see what works best for you.
Are deeper snares louder? The simple answer is yes, deeper snares are louder. The reason for this is that the deeper the snare, the more air it can hold. This means that when the snare is hit, the air is compressed and creates a louder sound.
Wooden snare drums have a warmer sound than metal snare drums. Metal snare drums are brighter and have more attack.
Drums can be stored on their side as long as they are not being used. This is because when drums are not being used, the weight of the drum can cause it to collapse if it is not stored properly.

I tend to believe that "less is more," but I though I'd test this wide 30 strand product simply for fun. Wow, I sure am pleased I did! My reasonably cheap 13 inch Crush snare was awakened by this monster! Since I play the church drums, it is not my personal set, thus the modifications I can make are few. The complete "tch" and no buzz that my light hits registered with after adding these wires made it easier for me to play with ghost notes and to develop the dynamics of my playing.With substantial ends and robust welds, the product appears to be well-made and durable. I'd repurchase for my own snares.Reminder: A 13-inch drum requires 13-inch strands. They do not measure 13 inches. After reading a few negative customer reviews, I thought it was important to bring up.

I used these snare wires on three different snares and had great success. You can hear a resounding "CRACK" or a very fat, moist sound. depends on how you tune your heads and just adjusting the snare wires' tension. The boost in sensitivity at low levels really truly caught me off guard. I always advise using your preferred high-quality drum heads, but if you feel as though you're lacking that "something something," give these a shot before spending a lot of money on alternative heads or giving up on the drum. I tried various head combinations on an old Pearl Export ELX 14x5 wood snare that came with the drum set, but I wasn't able to quite capture the sound I was looking for. When I attached these cables, the sound went from being very nice to fantastic! Now, whether I use regular or "controlled-sound" style heads, I get a fantastic sound. It currently has an Evans Hazy 300 on the bottom and an Aquarian HE on top. You simply cannot go wrong for $20.00!

I decided to give these snare wires a try after hearing so many positive things about them. I had been using clear Diplomat snare side heads with the factory-installed wires that came with my Ludwig Supraphonic 402. I've always thought it sounds wonderful, but some of the wires are beginning to bend, and I'm having trouble getting rid of the strange buzzing sounds I'm beginning to hear. In order to get rid of these unpleasant sounds, I also discovered that the snare wires needed to be tightened far more than I preferred. Since the Evans 500 is 5 mils thick as opposed to the Diplomats' 3 mil, I chose it to give the snare side reso head a beefier sound. I made the decision to replace the snare wires as well and chose the PureSound Blaster 20 strands because I had heard great things about them. I was astounded by how amazing they sounded after installing the new head and cables. Although I crank the reso head up very tight, I prefer having the snare wires not too tight. When I played with my band, I noticed that there was considerably less sympathetic buzz from the bass guitar and other instruments since it had the perfect amount of snare sound without being overly buzzy. These wires are far superior to the stock wires that came with the snare drums and I would strongly recommend them to anyone. My other snares sound considerably better now that I've installed these wires. I adore these wires

In order to save our drummer from having to bring her expensive gear over only for practice, I recently made the decision to purchase a cheap drum set off of Craigslist to keep around the practice space. The kick and toms sounded great after getting new heads and some tuning, but the steel snare (Peace brand) had a really awful buzz and a lengthy, wailing ring that neither new heads nor tuning could eliminate. In the end, I chose to switch the snare wires. Puresound significantly alters the situation. It doesn't completely eliminate the buzz, but it really reduces it, and a little gentle dampening on the battery head takes care of the rest (I use the old leather wallet technique for this). On a nicer snare, I suppose the improvement may be significantly larger.The nylon strap with "ruler" lines made it simple to center on the snareside head, and the snare wire was simple to install. Compared to my old snare wire, which just sounded thin, the tone is significantly deeper and more complex. Additionally, the Puresound is a little more responsive to tensioning, making it simpler to adjust the amount of slam or trashcan-rattle you desire. I used it with a Remo Emperor X batterhead and an Aquarian single-ply snareside head, leaving it a bit loose for a satisfying, sustained thwack. My inexpensive snare now sounds quite good! Plus, it has a nice appearance.

These have been in my possession for a few months, and they have held up just as good as any product in this group. A great set of wires could run you back $50; these are for practical use. Although the drum sounds fantastic with these, I have them on a Supraphonic that does too much dirty work for costly wires. Snare wire is visible scattered across the bottom of the drum in one of the images submitted from a negative review. It is described as being "too short." You can find excellent tutorials for changing your wiring on YouTube. The size is accurate. It's disappointing to witness a good product being misrepresented due to a user error.

I received exactly what I was hoping for. Beautifully designed for cord connection, it has a really lovely, elegant appearance. However, the sound is not always clear. Maybe I don't know how to tune a drum for it properly. These snares sound much better than the standard snare that came with the drums after I installed one on each of my two performance drums (nice Pearl drum, two different styles). The design, I'd say, is at the very least motivating when thinking about the sound of snares for performances.
When it comes to snare drums, you can definitely over-tighten the bolts and cause damage to the drum. It's important to make sure you don't overtighten the bolts when you're setting up your drum, as this can lead to a number of problems. First, over-tightening can cause the bolts to strip the threads, making it difficult to adjust the tension later on. Additionally, it can cause the tension rods to bend, which can make it difficult to tune the drum. Finally, over-tightening can cause the drum shell to crack, which is
Over time, any drum will eventually succumb to wear and tear. This is especially true for snare drums, which are subject to a great deal of stress and vibration. While a well-made snare drum can last for many years, eventually it will need to be replaced.
No, snare wires do not wear out. They are made of metal, which does not degrade over time. However, the tension on the wires can loosen over time, causing them to rattle or buzz. This can be fixed by tightening the wires.
When choosing a snare wire, the first thing to consider is the material the wire is made from. The most common materials are steel, brass, and bronze. Each material has its own unique sound, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your playing style. Next, you'll need to decide on the gauge, or thickness, of the wire. The thicker the wire, the louder and more powerful the sound will be. However, thick wires can be difficult to control, so if you're a beginner, you may want to start with a thinner gauge.
To store a snare drum, first remove the drumhead and stand the drum on its side. If you have a hard case, place the drum in the case and close it. If you do not have a case, wrap the drum in a soft cloth or blanket. Store the drum in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
When an animal steps on a snare, the wire tightens around its leg and holds it in place. The wire is attached to a stake or tree, so the animal cannot move away.
