Black Swamp S14C Snare Cable Standard Coated Cable for 14" Snare Drums
Give your snare drum added projection, response, and tonal depth with Black Swamp cable snares. They utilize coated and uncoated stainless steel cables in two different styles.
The cable snares are custom-made and utilize a slim line design that slips easily through even the smallest snare gates, eliminating the need for bulky clamps. The cable is silver-soldered directly onto the steel end plate. After many years of manufacturing thousands of these snares, they have never had a single snare returned to us for failure at the solder joint!
Standard fits on any snare drum (lies totally on snare head). No muss, no fuss, and can be used on drums with very shallow snare beds.
Models with all coated cable produce a drier tone, while combination models add the bright snap of uncoated cable. All stainless units are the brightest (but not as bright as snappy snares). Includes snare cord and instructions.
