PuresoundCustom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires 20 strand 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Steel snare wires for a 14-inch snare in a 20-strand count. The drier, more focused option when 24 strands feel too buzzy.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 14-inch snares that ring or buzz too much
- Drummers wanting a tight, focused backbeat
- Replacing damaged wires on a standard-size snare
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers chasing maximum sensitivity for ghost notes
- 13-inch or piccolo snares of other diameters
- Anyone wanting a warmer, darker snare character
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
Steel wires
Steel is bright and articulate, so the backbeat keeps its crack even with the lower strand count.
Detail 03
14 in. length
Standard snare diameter. Must match your drum — length is fixed, not adjustable at the strainer.
Detail 04
Custom Pro Series
Puresound's mid-range line, above the generic wires that come on most factory snare drums.
Detail 05
Snare wires only
Replacement wire unit. Strainer, throw-off and butt plate are not part of this.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Should I get 20 or 24 strands?
20 for a drier, tighter, more focused snare with less rattle. 24 for fuller coverage and better ghost-note sensitivity. Neither is better outright.
02Will these stop my snare buzzing when I hit the toms?
Fewer strands reduce sympathetic buzz, so it helps. It will not eliminate it — tuning the resonant head and tom pitches matters as much.
03Do I need any tools to install these?
A drum key to remove the bottom head, and a screwdriver for the strainer on most drums. Snare cord or straps if yours are worn.
04Are these the same as what came on my drum?
Most factory snares ship with generic wires. This is Puresound's Custom Pro line, a step above that in build and consistency.
