PureSound Custom Series Snare Wire, 20 Strand, 12"

The PureSound Custom Series 20‑Strand Snare Wire (12″) is a precision-crafted upgrade designed to breathe life into any snare drum setup. With twenty crisp, nickel-plated steel strands and reinforced endplates, this wire delivers razor-sharp articulation, sizzling sensitivity, and a full-bodied response that drummers crave—onstage or in the studio.

These snare wires offer a perfect balance: taut and responsive enough to catch every ghost note and rim shot, yet full and punchy when you really lean in. Expect bold crack, tight bite, and balanced wetness that sits well in the mix without overwhelming. Whether you're triggering backbeats in funk, firing off blasts in rock, or locking into grooves in jazz, this set gives your snare unmistakable presence and nuance.

At Musicmaker, we've fitted these on snares large and small—from 10″ side snares to 14″ main snares—and consistently found that they bring added clarity without harshness. The nickel plating ensures a bright sheen and well-rounded tone, while the sturdy heavy-duty endplates lock in perfect tension and longevity.

If you’re chasing crisp articulation, rich sensitivity, and consistent snare feel across your kit, the PureSound 20‑Strand Custom Wire is a wise, nuanced upgrade that delivers both tonal depth and durability.
