Sabian Hybrid Snare Wire, 20 Strands

It's no secret that SABIAN, the renowned innovators in the world of metals, have crafted a unique formula for achieving the ultimate snare tone. Their Hybrid model, featuring a distinctive 6-8-6 blend, is a testament to their innovative approach. This blend is not just a random combination, but a carefully designed formula that leverages the differences in metal types and wire wind density to deliver the precise sound you desire.

The '6' in the 6-8-6 blend refers to the six phosphor bronze strands positioned on the outer sections of the Hybrid 20. These strands are crafted from a specially formulated B8 phosphor bronze, exclusively designed for snare wires. The tight wind of these strands ensures an enhanced snare-to-drum head contact, resulting in a crisp, tight attack that defines the sound of these strands.

The '8' in the 6-8-6 blend signifies the eight strands of high-carbon stainless steel strategically placed in the center of this exceptional snare wire. The inherent properties of the steel produce a fuller, less staccato tone compared to the bronze wire. This is further enhanced by a larger wind, which increases the space between winds and reduces snare-to-head contact.

The SABIAN Hybrid Custom Snare Wires are more than just a blend of wires. They are a fusion of meticulously manufactured wires that together create a unique natural EQ effect. This makes it easier to achieve that perfect snare tone you've been envisioning. With the SABIAN Hybrid Snare Wire, 20 Strands, your quest for the perfect snare sound is within reach.
