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.
