Patterson Power Stainless SR-18 18 Strand Snare Wires,16.5"

The Patterson Power Stainless SR-18 18 Strand Snare Wires feature stainless steel cables and are the most popular choice for symphonic or drumset playing. These cables are thinner than the blue coated and have a bright sound with increased sensitivity while still being able to produce unbelievable power. Best used with drum with snare beds.

Patterson Snare Wires drastically reduce the annoying "slap" and "buzz" of old wire coils from 80% to 90%! Wires only produce sound where the point of the coil actually touches the head. (The empty coil space produces no sound.) That translates to only 3-4 inches of surface contact on a typical set of wires. These wires lay against the entire surface of the bottom head, providing 14 to 23 feet of continuous head coverage. That represents 80 times the head contact of wires for greater sensitivity and projection. 

Patterson Snare wires are also not mounted in cheap glue or plastic. They are guaranteed never to pull loose or break! 

Snares Wires will fit any 14” drum with standard lever throw-off and butt plate. Check the compatibility chart below for more details. All snare wires include easy to follow instructions and braided mounting cord as standard.
