PuresoundCustom Pro Series Brass Snare Wires 20 strand 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement brass snare wires, 20 strand, for 14-inch snare drums. For drummers refreshing a dead or damaged snare unit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing bent, broken or corroded wires on a 14-inch snare
- Warming up a snare that sounds too crisp and clinical
- Keeping a spare set in the stick bag for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drums other than 14-inch — the wire length won't seat correctly
- Drummers wanting maximum crack and sensitivity from steel
- Anyone expecting a fix for tuning or head problems
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
20 strand
Fewer strands than a dense 30- or 42-strand set. More open, more individual wire sound, less sizzle.
Detail 03
14 inch
Sized to the drum's diameter, not the shell depth. A 14-inch snare of any depth takes these.
Detail 04
Replacement part
Swaps into an existing throw-off and butt plate. Doesn't change the drum's shell, head or hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether cord or straps are included — you may need your own.
- 02Measure your drum. Snare wire length is set by drum diameter.
- 03Even tension on both sides matters more than the wires themselves.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my snare drum?
If it's a 14-inch snare with a standard throw-off and butt plate, yes. Depth doesn't matter — only the diameter.
02Brass or steel snare wires — what's the difference?
Brass is softer and darker, with less high-end snap. Steel is brighter and crisper. Brass suits players wanting a drier, less sizzly sound.
03Is 20 strand enough?
It's a moderate count. You get a more open, articulate response than a high-strand set, with less overall sizzle and sustain.
04How hard is it to install?
Straightforward — loosen the throw-off, remove the old wires, seat the new set centered, and tension evenly on both ends.
