Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The PureSound Custom series is positioned as a versatile line of medium-gauge snare wires using standard twists spaced at regular intervals. It comes in four strand configurations, allowing the snare character to be tailored according to the desired level of control: the higher the number of strands, the stronger the snare influence on the sound, while fewer strands let the overall snare shell sound be more prominent.
