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

Independent shopping perspective

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes, these are cut for a 14-inch shell. They won't work on 12, 13 or piccolo snares of other diameters.
20 is a general-purpose count with balanced sensitivity and articulation. Higher strand counts sound wetter and fuller; lower counts sound drier.
Check what arrives before starting the swap. If your existing cord or straps are in good shape, reuse them.
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.
