Canopus initially developed the Back Beat snare series to effortlessly provide a more pronounced back beat. We have now adopted it to a wider 30-strand snare wire – it responds to every stroke giving a full, pleasant snare sound.The BB30 snare provides the perfect solution for those drummers who are not completely satisfied with the commonly used 20 strand snare wire, but who find that the typical 42 strand snare wire is too large.

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.

Backbeat wires are incredible. They are the most versatile snare wires, providing sensitivity and impact, elevating my snare performance to the next level.

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.

The 42 and 30 back beat snare wires. I had no idea how much of a difference the snare wires really make. The 32 strand made my snare sound like a firecracker that went off 2 ft from your ear. Made an incredible difference.
Then I put the 42 strand on. And wow. That thing added a completely new sound to my drum that I’d never achieved before. I’m never going to back to the standard snare wire.

After realizing the importance of snare wires in my sound and searching high and low for so many years, I am ecstatic to have finally found my way!
The Backbeat 30 snare wires are perfect. I love the reinforced holes so that you won’t break string and these wires sit perfectly in any snare bed wide enough. The articulation for ghost notes and press rolls is effortless and backbeats are catastrophic! Thank God somebody still cares…Canopus!

I recently tested Canopus wires on my custom snare drums. The sound produced by the Vintage Snare and Back Beat Snare Wire 30 was so amazing I decided to start using them on many of my drums.
