Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Blaster is one of PureSound's references designed for drummers who want to push the snare drum to the forefront. Within the range, it is positioned as a snare wire focused on power and attack, ideal when seeking immediate response and strong presence, even at high volume levels.
Who This Drum/Snare Wire Is For
This snare wire is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers who play loudly and want clear articulation. It is particularly suited for styles requiring projection and bite, such as rock, metal, punk, fusion, or any live situation where the snare drum must remain audible.
Features and Innovations
The angled plates increase the contact surface of the snare wires on the resonant head, improving response and consistency. The proprietary bent clips help to increase overall projection, while the premium steel strands provide a crisper feel and quick vibration. Manufacturing and assembly are done in the USA, with precision aimed at ensuring uniform tension across all strands.
Sound
With its 20 medium-gauge steel strands, the PureSound Blaster favors a fast and crystalline response, with more attack and presence. The sound emphasizes a controlled and energetic "snare buzz," ideal for clear ghost notes while maintaining impact on rimshots and accented hits.
