SABIAN was built on the sound produced by the right blend of metals and now they offer some special metal blends tweaked for great snare drum sound. These Blend Custom snare wires offer a perfect mix of metals for a natural EQ performance. These snare wires feature six strands of bronze formula wires, developed specifically for snare applications, on the outside produce increased attack. While eight strands of high-carbon steel wires in the center delivers fatter tone.
