And, being made by Canopus, you know they’re well made. I liked the way they sounded and actually the way they looked too for me they had a vibe unique to them.
SNAPPY SNARE HEADS FULL
With that in mind, you’ll have to excuse the fact that I tried both models on the same drum but I thought that would be easier to provide a consistent comparison.Īs you’ll hopefully hear, there is a noticeable difference between the two models – as indeed should be the case – with the 26 providing a more full sound with the 20 being a little tighter sounding. They are available in 20 and 26 strand versions – the 20 strand model for standard drums and the 26 for deeper drums. These wires are made of premium Japanese steel and are intended to make your snare sound more full and increase its tone. I only recently got that snare drum and I can absolutely promise that it was a massive coincidence that I happened to choose that drum to use. I didn’t realise that until I’d put the first set of wires on the drum. OK… so what? What you probably need to know at this point is that Vic Firth partnered with Canopus to create these wires. The drum in question is a Canopus Zelkova. Now, the reason I mention this is because of the snare drum I used for the test/video. The joys of having lots of things to review, I guess! Use your ears-you will hear when the snares are correctly tensioned.So, while I was actually given these wires a good while ago, I hadn’t looked at them until the last few days. If you do over-tension, just slightly back off the fine-tuning knob on the snare strainer and the issue will correct itself.
You will know if you are over-tensioning our snares when they start to sound choked and less resonant. It is important to note that our snares require a well-defined snare bed (most drums have this), and that they require less tension than ordinary wire snares. The letter “E” in the model number identifies our extended range models. The extended models are specifically manufactured for drums that allow snares extending beyond the edge of the shell. Our snares come in both standard length and extended length models. Since we manufacture each unit by hand, our snares are available in a wide range of sizes. This means that our snares have a contact area many times greater than any other wire snares! Increased contact with the bottom head translates to maximized attack and projection across a fuller spectrum of sonorities. Unlike ordinary, cheap “snappy”snares (which only contact the bottom head at the apex of the wire), our snare wires make continuous contact across the bottom head over the entire length of the wire.
SNAPPY SNARE HEADS PRO
Since 1980 Grover Pro has been hand crafting snares that fit any standard snare drum and which provide drummers with an increase in snare projection, sensitivity, and “fatness” of sound. That’s why we personally handcraft each snare unit in our factory outside of Boston. It stands to reason that it is the interaction between the wires and the bottom head that accounts for the majority of a snare drum’s sound. While most other drum manufacturers focus on features that have negligible impact on sound quality, at Grover Pro we believe that the snare wires are the most critical part of any snare drum. All snares are available for 10″-15″ drums
