Puresound CPB1420 Custom Pro Wires 14"

La mejora de una caja cuando le pones una bordonera de calidad como ésta es muy notable. Buena fabricación. Me gusta el sistema Pro que permite cambiar el bordón sin quitar la cinta de enganche, se puede cambiar el bordón sin variar la tensión. Ello no solo permite cambios rápidos en caso de avería sino lo que a mí me parece muy interesante es poder probar distintos tipos de bordones en una caja a ver cuál suena mejor siempre con la mísma tensión para poder comparar de verdad el sonido. Muy recomendable.

I have a Rogers Tower series 14x5 snare drum that for some unknown (initially) reason it wasn’t sounding right. It was coming out too harsh and thin to my ears and I honestly couldn’t tell why, as all the parts were original, including heads. So I made the decision to trust more on my intuition than on the factory and started changing everything to see where I could get it.

First it was the reso head. Although I had a brand new one installed, I’ve decided to change for a Remo ambassador hazy and that made a noticeable difference, but it wasn’t quite there. Then I changed the hoops: bought two 2.3mm Millenium triple flange hoops and installed on it, and it did help, but not quite there yet.

Then I decided to get these brass wires and man, just that completely changed the sound. It’s truly night and day and I was impressed by how a snare wire can make such an impact. It definitely took out the harshness I was getting from the original setup and now the snare is way more darker and mellow. So much that I’ll have to go back from the Ambassador X coated to a regular Ambassador on the batter side.

I totally recommend this if you’re trying to fix a harsh and thin snare sound!
