Back Beat Snare Wire
Back Beat Snare Wire
Snare wires which enhance even the subtitles of nuances in the midst of very loud backbeats! By adopting spiral wireswith an abundance of coils coupled with 1mm end-plates, we have achieved a good balancebetween volume that is aggressive enough for a powerful backbeat and swift response for delicatephrasing. Wih this one snare wire, you can hava an aggressive, loud snare sound and maintain sensitivity.
CPSS-BB14DR（Dry=Without plating）
These snare wires create a loud attack and sharp response even for ghost notes. Very effective for wood-shell snare drums.
CPSS-BB14NP（Chrome plated）
These snare wires have both a loud attack and bright sound. They have an enormous effect on metal-shell snare drums. They will improve the potential of a loud snare tremendously.

I have been loving and using the Backbeat wires for a while now. They give an almost pre-compressed snare response that doesn’t come at the expense of fundamental tone. From the most delicate and intimate songs, to the hardest hitting moments- they sound musical. Thank you, Nori, Joey and the whole team of artisans at Canopus! You make our jobs as drummers easier.

I run Canopus snare wires on all my drums. They immediately make the drum sound better, and the Backbeat 30s are no exception. When I need articulation and focus without sacrificing sensitivity, they are my go to. Canopus wires can’t be beat.

Backbeat snare wires 42.
It is an excellent product as it generates an incredible sound, giving more projection and clarity in the desired dynamics of the snare.
Without a doubt, my snare sounds very professional and stable.

Canopus 30 and 42 strand wires make my snare drum sound fatter, warmer and just plain better. After using them once, I can never use anything else. They are the best wire in the industry.

If you need a snare tone that allows you to communicate the subtlety of every ghost note and the huge fat back of every back beat, then you best buy yourself a Canopus Back Beat Snare Wire 30 or 42 for your favorite snare drum!

Question
How do you make a 1981 Tama Bell Brass snare sound better?
Answer
Put the Canopus Back Beat 30’s snare wires on it.
I love them, also try the 42’s.

My snare has never sounded fatter or crisper, without a doubt the best wires I’ve ever used.

I have been using Canopus snare wires exclusively for over a decade. Their evenness and crispresponse have no equal in the industry. Do not underestimate the importance
of snare wires on the overall sound of your snare drums!
