Just get the normal stock ones unless you got money to burn. While after market ones will make a slight difference, the difference to cost ratio is very very high. It's not enough for me to want to make a switch...

Yeah, some sound dif. I changed from stock Pearls to Puresound Blasters and loved the change. Blasters are only $20.

I just use stock gibraltr wires, they're super cheap and they work. I've never had any problems with them.

If you've got a deep snare go with more wires. If you've got a shallow snare go less wires.

More wires = More sensitive.

Standard gibraltar wires

Thats all i've ever used, I like to cut out some so it leaves a 4-2-2-4 set up.

How exactly does the sound change when you cut out snare wires in between?
