From a warm whisper to a deep roarElevate your snare drum to its full potential
snare drum is the most important component in the drum set, and the snare-wire is a crucial component of your drum’s sound. This fact has not been widely recognized until very recently; only a few drummers understand this important connection.
1n 1960, Ludwig and Slingerland manufactured what has now become the standard for good vintage wires. Several manufacturers have tried to re-produce the sound. After years of research, we have replicated the Slingerland wire taking several factors into account such as material, spiral diameter and pitch. We finally decided on a core thickness of 0.5 mm, a spiral diameter of 1.35mm and a pitch of 3.4 mm.
After years of careful analysis of the material composition, thickness of the end plate, shaping experiments and production consideration, we have the CANOPUS Vintage Snare Wire.Super Jazz drummer Bill Stewart once visited us. He was so impressed by our proto-type Vintage Snare Wires he asked us if he could use it. Many CANOPUS endorsers appreciate the sound quality of this snare wire.

Canopus Vintage snare wires (CPSL-14DR) are simply the best snare wires in the world. They make my snare sound so much better. They choke less, have a beautiful tone and the wires produce a very nice, sweet and delicate snare sound! Thank you Canopus!!!

Adding the Canopus CPSL-14DR16 Vintage Snare Wire to my 6.5”x14” “The Bronze” Hand Hammered Bronze snare drum has completely transformed the instrument. The drum now speaks with brightness, life, joy, and even a sense of peace, making every stroke feel more connected to the music.
Technically, the change is just as remarkable - the response is crisp and immediate, ghost notes articulate with clarity, and backbeats carry a powerful presence. The wires enhance the natural depth of “The Bronze,” unlocking a perfect balance of sensitivity, resonance, and projection.
As a Canopus Drums artist, I’m filled with gratitude. These snare wires haven’t just enhanced my drum—they’ve brought it to life in a way that inspires me every time I play. Thank you, Canopus, for continuing to create gear that elevates both the instrument and the music.

I will not change the drum heads unless they are punctured or pitted because once a head is seated on a drum for a certain period, it creates a kind of bond with the drum.
I change the snare wire because the new wire brings new life to the drum.
I like the plain brass one, CPSL-14DR.
