PureSound E1416 Equalizer Series 14 Inch 16 Strand Steel Snares The PureSound E1416 Equalizer Series 14 Inch 16 Strand Steel Snares were design specifically to modify the spread and activity of the snare sound by using the drum's natural acoustics and snare bed design to give you a drier and crisper sound allowing for clearer articulation. The The PureSound E1416 Equalizer Series use an off-set design. By removing strands from the middle of the drum PureSound found that the vibration of the wires decreased contributing to the dry, crisp sound and are less sensitive to the vibrations of other drums and instruments.
