Setup Notes
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Simply remove the existing snare wire from the snare bed and throw-off mechanism, then slide the Gibraltar 20-strand wire into place. Ensure the wire is centered and properly seated against the bottom head before adjusting the throw-off tension to achieve your desired snare effect.
