Puresound E1412 Equalizer Wires 14/12

I've been using the Puresound E1412for more than 3 years, and I'm very pleased for the results, specially on recording situations. Personally, I recommend using wires insted of strips to hold it to the drum, it makes full contact on the drum head surface, giving more controlled response.

If you're looking for a sharp and fast snare, this is probably one of the best choices, the amount of wires on the sides prevent (not at a 100%, but more that the traditional wiring) the sympathetic buzzer from the toms and bass drum, and provides a clearer sound.

For those who play some types of funk, metal, fusion or even pop-rock, this wire is going to deliver good results, because it stands out the more tight the bottom head and the wires are.

In con, I must say that having the wires mid tight or loose don't make the drum sound great, and the sympathetic buzz becomes a real issue, which is one of the purpose of these wires.
Also, I would appreciate if the wires came with a holding strip or wire, just in case it's not for a replacement and you don't have anything to tight it to the drum.

I personally replace every snare wire with a Puresound wire.

I tried the EQ wire for my main 5" depth snare drum as I was getting issues with the bass player's frequency which rattled my snare wire.

Once i put this one, I noticed a significant reduction in sympathetic buzz, I can only assume it is down to the gap in the wire breaking things up.

It still gives you a snare sound to the fullest, and although nothing will ever completely negate snare buzz and sympathetic vibration, this does it very well.
