Comments about Puresound Custom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires:
The clips that hold the snares onto the straps are not adequate. Mine slipped through the snares during a song at a gig and I lost the snare sound. I am leary about cranking these down to get a good tight crisp crack because of that. I'm switching back to regular snare straps and hope that I can get the sound I was expecting to get when I bought these. I was hoping these would make a huge difference, but so far they have let me down....in front of 600 people.

Comments about Puresound Custom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires:
They make my snare sound so loud and no buzz at all!! I have a tama " titan warlord " snare and the stock snare was not enough. I needed volume for the beast. Solid titanium doesn't need stock snares. So these made that beast scream. Slapped a "ambassador coated X" and I was making that snare wire crack!!! Love it!
Comments about Puresound Custom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires:
A little pricey
Pretty straight forward, was looking to solve some snare rattle and these didn't help at all. I even snipped 4 wires off.
Pretty good quality, my snare wires were a little off but they were the ones I snipped off.
Comments about Puresound Custom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires:
I ended up with three sets of the 20-strand steel and one set of the 24-strand brass. I like them both. The main thing I learned in changing out four sets of snares and trying to get rid of snare buzz in my 12" tom with all four snares is this. Tune your batter up to where you normally do (for me, that's about 78 on a Tama Tension Watch). Tune your snare side head to about 50. Then detune the four rods next to the snare beds all the way. Finger tighten them back, then give them 1/4 to 1/2 turn with the key, just so they don't fall out. It's OK if some dimples remain in the head. You may sacrifice 5% of your snare sound, but your snare buzz should be gone or almost gone. It really works. I tried everything else but this, figuring it couldn't work. Guess what, it did for me. BTW, my 12" and 16" toms are tuned to 60 batter, 65 reso (with a strip of duct tape down the middle of each reso head, which I had to do to keep them from sending out weird frequencies when I hit the kick).
I got these in a promotional pack with a snare side head, figured I'd try them on a few snares with totally inadequate snare wires. Even reputable manufacturers put cheap snares on their lower-end snares (which is all I can afford) because they figure that's the first thing you're going to upgrade. These snares (the 20-strand steel) totally changed my snare from a thump to a crack. Just follow the instructions. . .it isn't hard to work the cotter pin assembly.
Quality seems very solid. You can hold these snares in your hand and see/feel how they differ from cheap stock snares.
These are pricey, and like many people, I cringed at the thought of spending this much on snares for a (let's say) used snare I paid the same price for. But adequate snares are absolutely crucial; otherwise your snare isn't a snare. Even a bad stock head can be made to sound decent; not so bad stock snares (at least in my experience). Swallow your pride, sacrifice on something else, and get these. You will not regret it if you get them sounding right, which you should be able to do with minimal effort.
Comments about Puresound Custom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires:
I was looking to upgrade my low-end (cheap) PDP snare until I save enough for something a little more exotic. I put a set of these on my snare, along with a new heads (Evans Genera HD Dray on top and Evans Hazy 300 on the bottom). LOVE LOVE LOVE the way my snare drum sounds now. With zero dampening, I get a nice, fat sound and plenty of rim accent when I need it. For my needs, these snares rock!
I actually like the quick change clip and didn't have any issues with it. That being said, my set is stationary and used for occasional tracking, so not sure what the experience might be like with active gigging.
Well made and easy to install/adjust.
A little pricey, but got the sound I was looking for so I'm ok with it.
Comments about Puresound Custom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires:
These snares are brilliant. I have the 24" 20 strand. everything about these says high quality. From the construction to that sound they give you, it's golden. Another reviewer mentioned something about the clip sliding through the slot in the snare, but it has to do with the centering of the clip, and is not a problem if you use it properly. Minor flaw. But other than that, it does exactly what it's supposed to. It gives me equal pressure from the snares to the head on every snare i tried, even those without snare beds,so these are perfect for upgrading that cheap snare you guys have. Perfect sound, every tension.
Comments about Puresound Custom Pro Series Steel Snare Wires:
So I was handed this product to try out. I liked the felt straps and how nice everything is put together. Playing I started noticing my snares would pop off. Now my tuning is mid-range to high(more on the mid range). I noticed it was the small clip this comes with. It's supposed to hold the strap in place but the clip is small enough for it to slip through the slip. So I did some tweeking and at times it would hold in place but it would end up falling through. I'm glad I was only testing this and I wouldn't have to go through this on stage.
