I wanted to ask this in the Acrolite thread, but I thought it deserved a new thread(no pun intended)
just curious, I had the snare cord on my new-to-me Acrolite break at a gig,the local drum shop fixed it and gave me some for future use. The guy told me that snare cord usually lasts 2-3 years. he thought it might have been a fluke that mine broke after 2 gigs, or maybe there is a burr on the snare itself.
This is my first snare that uses a cord as opposed to a plastic strap.
If it breaks again soon, I am willing to buy a new set of snares, but I am wondering what the members experience is as to how long your snare cords go until they break.
Average time with the drum being played regularly?
BTW, I keep the snares on in the bag so they don't get caught on anything while being put in or taken out. Snare tension is medium, little effort to flip them "on" with the strainer.
Thanks for any responses!
