Puresound CPB1420 Custom Pro Wires 14"

I have a Rogers Tower series 14x5 snare drum that for some unknown (initially) reason it wasn’t sounding right. It was coming out too harsh and thin to my ears and I honestly couldn’t tell why, as all the parts were original, including heads. So I made the decision to trust more on my intuition than on the factory and started changing everything to see where I could get it.

First it was the reso head. Although I had a brand new one installed, I’ve decided to change for a Remo ambassador hazy and that made a noticeable difference, but it wasn’t quite there. Then I changed the hoops: bought two 2.3mm Millenium triple flange hoops and installed on it, and it did help, but not quite there yet.

Then I decided to get these brass wires and man, just that completely changed the sound. It’s truly night and day and I was impressed by how a snare wire can make such an impact. It definitely took out the harshness I was getting from the original setup and now the snare is way more darker and mellow. So much that I’ll have to go back from the Ambassador X coated to a regular Ambassador on the batter side.

I totally recommend this if you’re trying to fix a harsh and thin snare sound!

On ne se rend pas compte qu'un simple remplacement de timbre sur une caisse claire peut en changer complètement le rendu. J'ai fait le changement sur une vieille Tama fut en acier et le résultat sonore est au délà de mes espérances. Le timbre d'origine était bas de gamme et le son était sec, sans nuances possibles dans le rendu. Avec ce Puresound, j'ai retrouvé le plaisir de jouer sur cette CC. Une vraie montée en gamme en quelques minutes. Sonorité plus douce et nuancée en fonction de la frappe. Un montage enfantin avec les deux sangles nylon fournies. Je recommande fortement. C'est plus cher que les timbres générique mais la qualité saute aux yeux et aux oreilles.
