Evans PURESOUND Super 30 Series Snare Wire - Snare Drum Wires - Drum Wire - S1430 - 30 Strand - 14 Inch

Wasn’t sure what to expect but wow made my snare sound amazing I would recommend for sure.

I am usually a "less is more" kind of guy but I thought I'd give this wide 30 strand product a try just for kicks. Man, am I glad I did! This thing woke up my moderately-priced 13 inch Crush snare! It isn't my personal set (I play the church drums) so the modification I can do is limited. After installing these wires I was pleased to find my light hits registering with full "tch" and no buzz making it easier to play with ghost notes and deepen the dynamics of my playing. The product seems well built and strong with heavy ends and good welds. I'd buy again for my personal snares. Note: The 13 inch strands are for a 13 inch drum. They are not 13 inches long. I felt it was worth mentioning after reading some reviews from disappointed buyers.

I have had a Ludwig Supraphonic mid to late 60's that came with the Ringo Star type set which I purchased in 1969. That snare has always been a bit ringy for me even though I had added a bit of cloth strip dampening under the head. I had to hit right in the middle to avoid the excessive ring. When I played on another snare, wood shell, at rehearsal, I was impressed with how sensitive and responsive it was all over the surface and wanted mine to be somewhat similar. I had the standard width snares. I decided after some reading to replace the snares with this PS super 30 and it solved some of that over tone ringing where I can hit further beyond the center before the ringing becomes annoying plus this gave me much more sensitive response to lighter strokes. I can't say if just replacing my very old snares with a new set of standard width would have done near as well but I thought why not give these a try. These didn't completely solve my problem and it may take more refined dampening of the head, changing them or just go to a wood drum but I do feel they contributed enough to improving the sound and response that I feel they were worth it.

A+++ vendor. Quality item. Thanks

These are the only snares I use. The super 30 is the perfect combo in my opinion. Just the right amount of snap!

Great wires, superb quality, but it has been a long time since I ordered snare wires and they used to come with snare ties I've never purchased a pair that came with straps just the wire. However, apparently things have changed over the years and I received this nice 14 inch snare wire with no means of attaching it to my snare drum so now I guess since I can't seem to find anything else I have to purchase snare straps, or wires separately.

Great improvement. Added this to a Gretsch 14 inch Maple snare with a Evans Hydraulic head I was having trouble getting the "right" sound out of it consistently. Basically the snare tones would vary between high velocity hits and low (the low volume hits had more snare wire rattle), plus the area of consistent snare sound was about 4 inches in the center. Hitting outside the "zone" led to unwanted tonal changes. The PureSound Super 30 removed those annoying variations while fattening the snare sound. The area of consistent "snare sound" is 8-9 inches in dia. and velocity/volume changes quiets or increases a consistent snare sound accordingly. Notes: I am using 2 moon gel dampers at 8 and 11 o'clock to kill a unwanted resonant tone (that further tuning may remove when I get more time).
