Description
Vic Firth teamed up with Canopus, respected makers of Japanese snare wire, to create the Vintage Snappy series. This 26-strand configuration is designed for deeper 14″ snare drums, delivering extra sensitivity so the snare responds cleanly whether you’re playing soft ghost notes or full-volume backbeats.
Crafted from premium Japanese steel, these wires are built to snap consistently across dynamic levels without choking your bottom snare head. The result is a fuller, more resonant tone that lets the drum breathe instead of getting muffled at low volume. The narrower-than-standard bronze end plates are shaped to work well on both modern and vintage snare drums, giving you flexibility across different kits and setups.
- Vintage-style tone with modern responsiveness
- Fits any 14″ snare drum
- Made from premium Japanese steel
- 26-strand design for added sensitivity on deeper shells
- Narrow bronze end plates for broad drum compatibility
If your deep snare drum feels a little sluggish or choked on the bottom end, swapping in these Vintage Snappy wires is a simple upgrade that can bring back clarity, snap, and character to your sound.
