The PureSound CPS1420 is a 14" 20–strand steel snare wire engineered for drummers who value responsive tone and practical functionality. Built in the USA with precision–wound coils, this wire delivers the crisp articulation expected from quality snare hardware whilst eliminating the frustration of setup and maintenance. The anti–choke end plates distinguish this design, allowing players to increase wire tension without sympathetic buzz choking the resonance of the drum.
Twenty strands of steel coil wire create the tonal foundation, offering balanced snap and body across dynamic playing ranges. The patented speed release straps enable snare wire removal without disconnecting the throw–off or butt plate mechanisms—a meaningful time saver during gigs or studio sessions. Numbered alignment marks moulded into each strap ensure the wire sits straight and repeatable on the resonant head, eliminating guesswork when reinstalling. Anti–choke end plates lift the coil slightly away from the head’s edge, reducing buzz and expanding the usable tension window before tone suffers.
