Puresound Custom Pro Series 14-Inch 20-Strand Steel Snare Wires (CPS1420)

Reclaim the crisp, articulate voice of your drum with a premium upgrade engineered for ultimate sensitivity and control. The Puresound Custom Pro Series CPS1420 is a 14-inch, 20-strand steel snare wire system built to completely eliminate the common frustrations that plague drummers during tuning and performance. Designed to deliver an exceptionally clean, quick response, this premium wire set allows you to tighten your snare tension for a razor-sharp snap without strangling the bottom head or choking the natural resonance of the drum shell. Whether in the studio or under heavy stage mics, it uncovers crisp, bright articulation at any dynamic level.

Angkor Music Technical Evaluation: Anti-Choke Design & Sympathetic Buzz Reduction

The Custom Pro Series stands apart due to its uniquely angled Anti-Choke end plates. Traditional snare wire plates feature flat, abrupt edges that press unevenly into the delicate snare side head when cranked, resulting in a boxy, choked sound and excessive sympathetic wire rattle from nearby bass amps or tom-toms. Puresound lifts the coils slightly at the outer margins of the plate, radically reducing unwanted snare buzz while opening up the sweet spot of the drum. Formed with premium steel wire coils, the CPS1420 accentuates a quick, bright, and classic modern crack with incredible structural recovery speed.

E-E-A-T Drum Hardware Integration: Speed Release Quick-Change System

At Angkor Music, our percussion specialists highly recommend the CPS1420 for working drummers and busy studios who frequently switch out bottom drumheads or swap snare characteristics. Speed Release Straps: This system features an innovative quick-disconnect design that allows you to unclip the wire assembly directly from the bottom of the drum without having to unclamp or unthread the straps from your strainer mechanism or butt-plate. This retains your exact tension profile across head changes, making swaps fast and hassle-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the sonic difference between the steel wire models and the brass wire models in the Custom Pro line?
Steel wires (like this CPS1420) offer a bright, sharp, crisp, and high-frequency dominant crack with a very quick decay. They excel in rock, pop, funk, and modern settings where crisp definition is key. Brass wires offer a slightly warmer, darker, softer, and more resonant voice that emphasizes full mid-range sensitivity, making them highly popular for orchestral playing, jazz, and vintage recording configurations.

Do I need tools to swap my drumhead once the Speed Release straps are installed?
No tools are needed to disconnect the wires themselves! Once the Speed Release system is attached to your strainer and butt-plate via standard drum key screws during the initial installation, you can simply unclip the wire assembly using the built-in quick-disconnect cotter pins. This lets you completely remove the snare wire cluster out of your way to swap or tune the head, and click it back into place in seconds without losing your previous adjustment settings.

Will a 20-strand wire give me more or less snare sound than a 16-strand or 30-strand set?
A 20-strand configuration is the absolute industry gold standard for balance. It provides an ideal mix of wire snap and natural wood/metal drum shell body resonance. A 16-strand wire allows more of the raw acoustic drum shell tone to breathe, whereas a wider 30-strand wire creates a much denser, louder, and intensely buzzy snare presence that dominates the overall acoustic profile of the drum.
