Vic Firth Company has partnered with Canopus drums, makers of premium Japanese snare wires to bring you the Vintage Snappy line of snare wires. The sound is in the name as these snare wires snap at all dynamic levels without choking the bottom snare side drumhead. Your snare drum will sound fuller and have more tone. Made from premium Japanese steel, the Vintage Snappy snare wires feature narrower than standard bronze end plates, which are perfect for modern and vintage snare drums.
