Hey all,I bought a few snare drums where the snare wires are attached using nylon string of sorts and I have noticed that they seem to more responsive than the snares I have that use the famous plastic bands to hold the snares.Does anyone else notice an improvement in response using string as opposed to the plastic??
And secondly...I'm sure that Pearl or Gibraltar doesn't have a proprietary string compound that they use and sell for an outrageous amount (6 bucks for 4 pieces of string??) so has anyone found a good string to use say from the hardware store or the like.
Obviously need something that doesn't stretch and/or break easily.I'm all ears for any and all suggestions.
Happy Drumming, Bif
