Hey there, sad news...we've shut down shop permanently. So you won't be able to score any drum gear via the website anymore.

Fat Cat 14" 16 Strand Vintage snare wires designed to fit the Slingerland Radio King snare drum.

Since 1995, Fat Cat Snappy Snares wires have been engineered for high performance, superior sound and long life. Made of high carbon steel wire, attached to stainless steel end plates for the finest quality and durability.

Both end plates have a 1/8" hole in the center for attachment of the wire to the strainer frame via a screw. The mounting hole spacing is 15-1/2" center-to-center.

Choosing your Fat Cat snare wires

  • Choosing the best model of snare wire can be determined by the depth of the snare bed on the drum.Some snare drums have little to no snare bed which will require choosing the P Pitched style end plate.
    This will work the best because when the Fat Cat is attached and fully tensioned, it will automatically force the snare wires into the bottom head resulting in minimal un-wanted rattling and maximum contact and sensitivity.
  • Choose the NP No-Pitch style end plate for snare drums with a deep cut snare bed.
    In this case, the deep bed is creating the contact and there is no need for the reverse angle on the end plate.
  • Fat Cat endplates are designed to use both Cable or Strap with minimal off-set and can be used to attach to most standard throw-offs.
