Introducing the long-awaited high-quality Made in USA snare! The material is a steel alloy wire with polished copper ends (both ends are pure copper plated), and the pure copper ends provide better adhesion to the back of the head and a better fit, resulting in excellent response. The wires and soldering are all handcrafted, providing excellent stability in all positions, from loose to tight. The sound is crisp even in pp settings, and the tone is not muffled even in ff settings. Compared to previous models, the texture of the snare sound and the response to the graininess have been dramatically improved, taking the quality of the snare drum itself to the next level. Custom Series The Custom Series features standard coils of medium-gauge wire evenly spaced. Available in 12, 16, 20, and 24 strands, with 20 strands being the standard. The more strands there are, the more impact they have on the snare sound; the fewer strands there are, the more the drum sound stands out within the overall sound. The uniquely shaped copper end plate ensures excellent contact with the snare side head. This is the standard series for pure sound. 16-Strands This is a standard type with 16 wires. It is a representative model of pure sound. It has good stability and excellent response. ●Material: Steel alloy coil/Polished copper ends●Finish: Plating-free●Size: 10 inches●Number of wires: 16●Snappy cord
