    Default Snare wires for Gretsch Catalina Maple Birch Snare?

    I have a Gretsch Catalina Maple Birch snare drum 14 x 5.5, I'd like a deep full low pitched sound, I know that comes down mostly to tuning, but I need help getting new snare wires, so what do you drum masters recommend? and any advice on replacing the snare wires would be MUCH appreciated!

    With everything being equal, you can't go wrong with a set of puresounds. Good all around wires.

    30+ years and generic Snappy Snares have always worked well for me.

    I recently rebuilt a 1964 Slingerland 5.5 X 14 and I bought 20-strand Puresound wires...............no complaints at all.
