16 strand (size) snare wire unit with 12 curly wires, for 13" snare drums. The Equalizer line, by PureSound Percussion, has been created to modify the spread and activity of the snare sound by working in conjunction with the snare drum’s natural acoustics and snare bed design. Equalizers feature an off-set design that removes the strands from the middle of the drum— in effect decreasing the vibration of the wires—somewhat like laminating a dot in the center of the head. Not only is the snare drum drier and crisper with an Equalizer snare wire unit, it is less influenced by sympathetic vibrations from other drums and instruments. Includes mounting cord.
