PuresoundCustom Pro Series Brass Snare Wires 24 Strands 13 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Brass snare wires for a 13-inch snare. Warmer and drier than steel, for drummers who find their snare too bright or splashy.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 13-inch snares that sound harsh or overly bright
- Drummers wanting a drier, more controlled buzz
- Studio work where a long wire sizzle causes problems
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 14-inch snares — wrong length, will not seat
- Drummers wanting maximum crack and cut
- Loud live rock where the snare must slice through

Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your drum is 13 inches, not 14 — the difference is not adjustable
- 02Brass is softer than steel and will bend more easily under heavy playing
- 03Even tension on both ends matters or the buzz goes lopsided
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are brass wires quieter than steel?
Not quieter, but darker and drier. Less high-end sizzle and shorter decay. The snare speaks with less crack and more body.
02Will 13-inch wires work on a 14-inch drum?
No. They will be too short to reach both ends of the strainer properly. Buy the length that matches your drum's diameter.
03Why choose brass over steel?
Brass tames a snare that is too bright or splashy. It is also a common studio choice when long wire sizzle bleeds into other mics.
04Do brass wires wear out faster?
Brass is a softer metal, so strands can bend or fatigue sooner under hard hitting. Light and moderate players will not notice much difference.
