No problems so far. I could see some strands possibily breaking if one were to excessively tighten it down but who cares, you have 42-strands!

I bought these snares as an, but I think I got the set that are in the picture on the website (notice the poor quality of the snares in that picture). The snares I received were uneven and noisy in all the wrong ways. They are way cheaper than Pure Sound snares, so I am not out much money. They may work better if you are lucky and get a good set. I recommend spending the good money up front to make sure you get a perfect product.

I use it on my 14 x8 Pearl Vinnie Paul and it makes a lot of difference. I'm buying another for my church 14x 6.5. Buy it now.

    Does The Job

    By Anonymous

    Comments about Gibraltar SC-4471 42-Strand Strainer for 14" Snare:

    The 42 Strand Gibraltar will give your snare a nice fat crunchy sound. It's easy to install and sounds good. It's not really durable compared to Tama or DW...one of the strands on mine has already un-welded itself so now mine is a 41 stand snare. No big deal. Good buy if your on a budget...and a lot of us are.

    Comments about Gibraltar SC-4471 42-Strand Strainer for 14" Snare:

    I've had this snare strand for 5 years on my Pearl 14x8 free floating snare and I love it!!! I couldn't get the sound I wanted with the regular 20 strand on an 8" deep snare. This is perfect for all style of music.

    Comments about Gibraltar SC-4471 42-Strand Strainer for 14" Snare:

    It gave my snare that fat, wide snap that i need! If you've heard John Mayer's "Vultures", thats how it would sound like. I highly recommend it, just dont be like the other stupid kids that tighten it so much that they break. These are meant for loose tuning.

    Comments about Gibraltar SC-4471 42-Strand Strainer for 14" Snare:

    I bought these because I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the Gretsch ones. First off I don't know why people buy these only to tighten them so much that you choke the snare. If you want to do that without worrying that the snares will break buy the 20 strand. I put these onto my 14inch Supraphonic, it gives a nice fat tone. I tighten them so you can still get the snare sound but also the roundness of the snare. All in all they're real awesome if you want a nice fat tone for your snare

    AWESOME!! but pray

    By Micah-FCzje

    from Belmont, MA

    Comments about Gibraltar SC-4471 42-Strand Strainer for 14" Snare:

    These wires are amazing once you tighten them against the bottom so tight that you might fear they will break.. Im not sure why but for at least an hour they were rattling like crazy! But when I finished tightening them to a point were no rattle was left, i was left with a very loud tight pop thats amazing!, and their very sensitive to the hit... Buy these but PRAY they wont snap on you!

    simply put, this set of snares are amazing. Great sound and not too much interference from the other drums on your kit.
