Snare size.
Ive got a question about my snares. Should the metal ends be right on edge /snare rim? or should they be on the drum head? I'm thinking although not sure that I might have the wrong size snares on my snare drum. the snares looks to be for a 13" snare not a 14" snare. A picture of the bottem of a snare drum would be very helpful thanks.

Re: Snare size.
The snare wires should just fall short from the bearing edges on both sides. As seen in rats pic. Nice pic by the way
I play, Gretsch Catalina Birch, 7 piece in the vintage sunburst finish.

Re: Snare size.
Anyone got a suggestion for the right size snares since mine seem to be short? mid grade snares nothing to expensive. Thanks for the help.
Re: Snare size.
I had to ask the same question Friday. The guy at the drum shop suggested Pearl or Pure Sound snare wires. I asked him what the difference was, and he said the Pure Sound would give a slightly warmer sound. Since I was buying for my piccolo snare, I went with the Pearl. But, since they didn't have a clear Ambassador reso head, I haven't installed them yet. But it had Pearl snares on it before (Pearl snare, after all) and I really loved the sound.

Re: Snare size.
Puresound are more in your face. I tried a blaster on a steel snare and TOO much! The Pearl sounded better in that application.

Re: Snare size.
Ok how many strands should I go with? this one was 16..... it sounded ok.... but I dunno how much the effect was on it being that the snares was for a 13inch snare. I play metal Rock and trying to learn some jazz as well.
Re: Snare size.
never thought about the actual snares before. id prolly go with a puresound or a blasters
