For 14" snare drums, the Super 30 Series snare wires feature 30-strands of medium-gauge wire, allowing for penetrating snare presence.The Super 30 Series utilizes the same steel-alloy wires, handcrafted construction methods and exclusive copper end clips as the Custom Series in a 30-strand format designed to increase snare response and articulation. Compared to other wide-format snare wires, the PureSound Super 30 wires are able to create a distinctive and penetrating sound without choking the drum or sacrificing its feel. Additionally, the Super 30 needs only a slightly wider than normal (3 to 3.5 inch) snare bed for optimum performance.
