Detail 01
Brass strands
Brass is softer than steel, so the buzz is warmer and decays faster. Less crack, more body.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement snare wires for a 14-inch snare drum, 24 strands in brass. For drummers who want a warmer, softer snare response than stock steel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing worn or broken wires on a 14-inch snare
- Drummers wanting a drier, warmer snare buzz
- Lower-volume playing where steel sounds too crisp
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 13-inch or piccolo snares — the strand span won't seat right
- Players chasing maximum crack and cutting attack
- Anyone needing wires pre-installed or with a new drum
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
24 strands
A middle count. Broad, even response across the head without the choked feel of higher-strand sets.
Detail 03
14 in. length
Sized for a standard 14-inch snare. The strand bed must match the drum's diameter to sit flat.
Detail 04
Custom Pro Series construction
Strands are set individually into the end plates, which keeps tension even across the set as it ages.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your snare — 14-inch drums only, wire length is not adjustable
- 02Snare cord or straps may not be included; check what your throw-off uses
- 03Set even tension when installing or you'll get sympathetic buzz
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a 13-inch snare?
No. These are cut for a 14-inch snare. A 13-inch version of the same wires exists — use that instead.
02What's the difference between brass and steel snare wires?
Brass is softer and warmer with a quicker decay and less crack. Steel is brighter and more cutting. Brass suits quieter, drier settings.
03Do I need any tools to install these?
A drum key and a screwdriver for the throw-off and butt plate. Loosen the bottom head first so the wires sit flat before you tension them.
04Is 24 strands more sensitive than 20?
More strands mean more contact with the head, so ghost notes and rim work read more easily. Too many can choke the drum; 24 is a common middle ground.
