Gibraltar SC-1408BSD + Puresound E1416 Value Bundle
14" 16-strand Snare Wire with Off-set Design
14" Die-cast Snare Drum Hoop for 8-lug Drums - Batter Side
This PureSound Percussion Equalizer Series Snare Wire is 14" with 16 strands. PureSound Percussion's Equalizer Series snare wire is designed to work in conjunction with the snare drum's natural acoustics and bed design, in order to modify the spread and activity of the snare sound. Thanks to an off-set design, the Equalizer Series snare wire removes the strands from the middle of the drum, which decreases the vibration of the wires. What this gives you is a drier, crispier sound. What's more, your snare sound will be less influenced by sympathetic vibrations from other drums and instruments, with the PureSound Percussion Equalizer Series snare wire.
PureSound Percussion Equalizer Series Snare Wire Features:
14" with 16 Strands
Off-set design, removes strands from the middle of the drum
Gives you a drier, crispier sound with fewer sympathetic vibrations
Choose PureSound Percussion Equalizer Series Snare Wire to nail your ideal snare sound!
New Tones from Your Old Snare
Does your snare need a tonal makeover? Gibraltar's batter-side die-cast snare hoop unlocks new possibilities from your tired old drum. The SC-1408BSD is heavier than most flanged hoops, resulting in a louder and drier tone overall. You'll enjoy more cutting rimshots, cross-sticks, and 8th-note patterns played on the rim. The Gibraltar SC-1408BSD fits standard 14" snare drums with eight lugs.
Die-cast vs. flanged hoops: which option is right for me?
Contrary to popular opinion, die-cast hoops are not right for every snare. Whether the Gibraltar SC-1408BSD makes sense for your drum depends on your intended application.
Die-cast
: For modern rock productions, Sweetwater engineers generally regard die-cast hoops as a win. They raise the level of the snare in the room and tend to dry out overtones, for a cleaner signal into a mic. Some players even report enhanced snare sensitivity with die-cast hoops.
Flanged
: On the other hand, if you play jazz and depend on your snare's ability to play whisper soft, flanged hoops may be the way to go. Flanged hoops are known for their open tone and warm, uncompressed low end. Both of these qualities are generally desirable on vintage drums, and for cats who want to squeeze every drop of character out of their shells.
Gibraltar 14" Die-cast Snare Drum Hoop Features:
A tonal makeover for your snare drum
Crisper, more cutting tone than a triple-flanged hoop
Heavy weight dries out overtones — great for modern recording productions
Enhanced rimshots and cross-sticks really cut through a mix
Fits 8-lug, 14" snare drums
Snare-side hoop not included; sold separately
