PureSound P1216 Custom Series Snare Wire, 16 Strand, 12"

PureSound P1216 Custom Series 16-Strand Snare Wire for 12" Drums

The PureSound P1216 Custom Series snare wire delivers a balanced blend of snare articulation and drum tone for 12" snare drums. Built with 16 strands of medium-gauge steel wire, this configuration strikes an ideal middle ground between aggressive snare response and prominent shell character. The evenly spaced coils ensure consistent tension and predictable performance across the entire head, while the steel construction produces the quick, crisp attack that professional and serious amateur drummers demand. PureSound's Custom Series lineup offers multiple strand options to fine-tune your sonic palette. The 16-strand configuration allows both the snare wires and drum shell to contribute meaningfully to your overall sound—more strands increase snare dominance, while fewer strands let the drum's natural tone shine through. Manufactured entirely in the USA, these wires reflect decades of percussion engineering expertise.
