SABIAN Blend Custom Snare Wire Phosphor Bronze 42 Strand

The SABIAN Blend Custom Snare Wire captures a crisp, controlled snap with its tightly wound 42-strand configuration—essential for recording sessions where stick articulation and snare definition matter in the final mix. This phosphor bronze wire sits at the intersection of brightness and clarity, delivering consistent transient response across dynamic mic'd performances. The tight-wind design ensures reliable contact with the drum head, translating sharp stick definition into every recorded take.

Snare Wire Specification & Tone Character

Built from B8 phosphor bronze, this wire produces a warm yet cutting tone with excellent projection through microphones and into your DAW.
