Detail 01
20 strands
A middle count. More strands mean a wetter, fuller buzz; fewer mean drier and more articulate. 20 sits between the two.

PuresoundCustom Series 20 Strand Snare Wire 14 In
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
20-strand snare wire for a 14-inch snare drum. A replacement part for drummers whose current wires are broken, bent or dull.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing broken or bent strands on a 14-inch snare
- Drummers wanting crisper snare response than worn wires give
- General kit playing across rock, pop and funk
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Snares other than 14 inches — strand length won't sit right
- Drummers wanting a dry, thuddy snare sound
- Anyone needing the strainer, cords or straps replaced too
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
14-inch length
Sized to a 14-inch snare shell. Wires too long or short won't tension evenly across the bottom head.
Detail 03
Snare wires only
The strainer, butt plate and throw-off on your drum stay put. This is the wire assembly alone.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your snare is 14 inches before ordering
- 02Snare cord or straps may not be included — check what you have
- 03Wires sit under the drum; you'll need to remove the bottom head hoop
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my 14-inch snare?
Yes, these are cut for a 14-inch shell. They won't work on 12, 13 or piccolo snares of other diameters.
02How many strands should I get?
20 is a general-purpose count with balanced sensitivity and articulation. Higher strand counts sound wetter and fuller; lower counts sound drier.
03Does this include cord or straps?
Check what arrives before starting the swap. If your existing cord or straps are in good shape, reuse them.
04How do I know when snare wires need replacing?
Broken or bent strands, uneven buzz across the head, or a dull rattle that won't tune out. Bent strands don't sit flat and choke response.
