Slingerland Zoomatic Wires

Posts: 112 Threads: 43

Need a decent set.

P.S.: Not considering Puresound. They would be a last resort.

In my experience, they don't have the same crisp response as the originals. I've tried Puresounds on a Super Sound King and Radio King and was not happy -- too much ppfffffffft. I haven't tried the Zoomatics because of this. Maybe they're decent and perhaps someone here is happy using them.

I DID say they're a last resort and may give Puresounds another try if I strike out finding Zoomies.

Ok thanks..I did once have a 6.5 cos with original Zoomatic wires..but it was stolen too many years ago for me to recall how it really sounded.

I bought another 6.5 cob about six weeks ago fitted with puresound 12 strands.. its not quite right.. so I want to fit a 16 or 20 "something"? to it.

Hence my question..

Cheers

John

Although I've not tried them, I've heard good things about the Canopus

Vintage wires.

I believe that they're available from www.maxwelldrums.com and probably

other places.

Hope this helps.
