Questions frequently asked
Is the Fat Cat FC1316NP suitable for a 13-inch snare drum?
This model is a 13-inch snare wire designed for a snare drum of this diameter. Its 16 strands provide a quick and defined response.
Which snare drums is the No Pitch system compatible with?
The No Pitch design is intended for snares equipped with a pronounced snare bed or a scooped bearing edge. The angle of the outer plates then promotes more consistent contact with the resonant head.
What sound do the 16 carbon strands produce?
The strands made of 90% carbon enhance the attack and articulation of light strokes. The response remains clear without overly dampening the snare drum's natural sustain. Improved resistance to unwanted vibrations helps reduce buzz when the snare is properly centered and tensioned.
Is this snare wire suitable for ghost notes?
With 16 strands and a sharper attack due to the carbon, this snare wire enhances the definition of ghost notes. It is recommended for pop, funk, gospel, rock, and contemporary music contexts.
Can the Fat Cat No Pitch reduce snare buzz?
Better contact with the head, provided by the No Pitch mounting on an appropriate snare bed, helps reduce unwanted noise. Centering and tension adjustment remain crucial.
