Anywhere Australia wide*
Gibraltar's 14” Steel Snare Wire delivers the bright, cutting tone that defines modern snare drum response. This 42–strand configuration offers increased wire density compared to lighter strand counts, producing a sharper crack and fuller sustain across the drum's playing surface. The steel construction ensures durability through touring schedules and regular studio work.
The 42–strand design strikes a balance between articulation and body, making it responsive to both tight, controlled strokes and looser ghost notes. Steel strands vibrate at frequencies that cut through live and recorded mixes without requiring excessive tuning tension. This strand count works across various snare depths and bearing edge profiles, adapting to different drum voicing preferences without sacrificing consistency or longevity.
