Puresound Snare Wires - Why Upgrade & Where to Buy in the UK

Snare wires are one of the most overlooked upgrades a drummer can make, yet they have a profound effect on the feel, sensitivity, and tone of your snare drum. Puresound have built their reputation on precision engineering and consistent quality, and their range is trusted by professional drummers and recording engineers worldwide.

At Into Music Store, we stock one of the most comprehensive selections of Puresound snare wires available from a UK independent drum retailer. From the versatile Custom Pro in steel and brass, to the high-sensitivity Blaster, the dry and defined Equalizer, the articulate Super 30, and the unique Twisted series - we carry the full range across multiple strand counts and sizes.

Choosing the right snare wires comes down to a few key factors: the size of your snare drum (13" or 14" in most cases), the strand count you prefer (more strands generally means more sensitivity and a fuller sound), and the tonal character you're after. Steel wires tend to be brighter and more focused; brass wires offer warmth and resonance. The Equalizer series suits drummers who want separation and less sympathetic buzz, while the Super 30 is ideal for those chasing maximum articulation.

As an authorised Puresound stockist, every set of wires we sell is genuine and backed by the manufacturer's quality standards. If you're searching for a drum store near me or looking to buy Puresound snare wires online in the UK, Into Music Store offers fast delivery with next day options available on most orders.

You're also welcome to visit us in person at our drum showroom in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, where our team - experienced drummers themselves - can help you find the right snare wires for your drum and playing style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Puresound make several distinct snare wire series, each with a different design and tonal character. The Custom Pro features Anti-Choke end plates and Speed Release straps for versatile, buzz-free performance. The Blaster uses bent end clips for maximum contact and projection. The Equalizer has an off-set design for a drier, crisper sound with less sympathetic buzz. The Super 30 is a handcrafted 30-strand wide-format wire for exceptional articulation. The Twisted series features paired coiled strands for unique sensitivity at lower tensions.
Most standard snare drums take either 13" or 14" snare wires. Check the diameter of your snare drum shell - this will match the wire size you need. Puresound offer most of their series in both 13" and 14" options. If you're unsure, call us on 01507 526517 and we'll help you find the right fit.
Steel Puresound wires tend to produce a brighter, more focused snare sound with a crisp attack - great for live performance and cutting through a mix. Brass wires deliver a warmer, fuller tone with enhanced resonance, making them popular for studio recording and jazz or lower-volume playing. The Custom Pro series is available in both materials.
Strand count affects sensitivity and fullness of sound. Fewer strands (12-16) produce a drier, more open sound with less snare buzz - ideal for jazz or lower-volume styles. More strands (20-30) increase sensitivity and give a fuller, more responsive snare sound suited to rock, pop, and high-volume playing. Puresound offer options from 12 to 30 strands across their range.
Yes - several Puresound series are available in 13" sizing, including the Custom Pro (steel and brass), the Blaster, the Equalizer, and the Super 30. These are suitable for 13" snare drums as well as some 10" and 12" models depending on the series. Check individual product listings or call us for guidance.
