They serve as a premium upgrade compared to standard snare wires, combining Vic Firth's expertise with Canopus's Japanese precision.

Designed for beginner, intermediate, or expert drummers seeking expressive touch, these snare wires excel in jazz, soul, funk, blues, and classic rock. Their high sensitivity favors ghost notes, delicate rolls, and subtle nuances, while maintaining projection when playing louder.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Vic Firth VF20SNSW suit ghost notes and rolls?
Its 20 Japanese steel rods promote high sensitivity at low and medium volumes. Ghost notes and delicate rolls benefit from clear articulation, with an even response across the bow width.
What sound character does a Vintage Vic Firth x Canopus cymbal provide?
The Vintage series delivers a fine and sandy grain, with precise attack and controlled note decay. The sizzle allows the bow to express itself more, without any harshness.
Are these cymbals appropriate for jazz and funk?
This model targets jazz, soul, funk, blues, and classic rock playing. Nuance at low volume is favored while maintaining natural projection during sustained hits.
What material are the rods of the VF20SNSW made from?
The rods are made from high-quality Japanese steel to ensure consistent tension and increased durability.
Do narrow end plates facilitate mounting on a snare drum?
Narrower end plates make alignment easier with a wide range of triggers. This design also ensures optimal centering on the resonant head. Vibration transmission is thereby improved.
