The Number of Wires Shapes the Sound 

The number of snare wires is a fundamental factor in defining a snare’s resonance and character – allowing a single drum to display completely different sound characteristics. Generally, more wires bring sensitivity and a bright tone, while fewer wires deliver a drier, more direct tone with stronger shell presence.

The strength of the CPSL-14DR12 lies in the wonderfully controlled sound it provides and the way it emphasizes shell resonance. Simply swapping wires will open the door to new playing approaches and sonic possibilities.

Even on vintage drums with deep snare beds from the 1940s, or the nearly flat beds of the 1960s, these wires reduce unwanted snare buzz and give maximum functionality.

Fewer wires does not mean “less response” – it represents a musical choice – a new way to unlock your snare drum’s true voice.

The perfect fit for the deep, narrow snare beds of vintage drums.

Reduces unwanted noise on vintage drums with shallow snare beds.

Also works perfectly with standard snare beds.

A simple swap opens up new sound variations.
