Hello guys,

I was just wondering which seiding I should use on my snare drum. It's a Ludwig from the 70's and is quite a good snare drum.
However, the strings on my new seiding keep falling off one by one even though it should be an alright model. The guy from my drum shop tells me that it's because I hit my drums too hard and I'll admit that I actually do play pretty hard but that's just the way I play best and that shouldn't be able to damage a completely new seiding should it?
Which seiding would you guys recommend for a rock/metal drummer?

Hope you guys can help!

Ups! Wrote the Danish word (seiding) for snare ... well it's been a long weekend.

That still doesn't make sense. If I replace the word "snare" for every time you say "seid" or "seiding" it doesn't help us understand what you are asking.

Are you talking about the bottom head on the snare drum? The snare head versus the batter head?

You said ...  "which seiding should I use on my snare drum?" Translated would be .... "which snare should I use on my snare drum?"  That doesn't make any sense to me.

Then you mention "strings" which could be the Snare Wires ... or could be the snare string which holds the snare wires on the snare strainer.

We aren't trying to be difficult; we just need more clarity in your question.  Grin

I mean the snare string then I guess! Because it's the snare wires that keep falling off ... man, I thought that these technical terms were universial. Appearantly not huh?

I can't imagine the force needed to knock the snare wires out of their solder! Grin

Actually, I can't imagine you being a heavy hitter, even being a factor in the strings not staying in the strainer. It would more likely be the length of the strings, or tensioning of the strainer, or how tightly the screws are torqed in the strainer or butt plate.

Some snare wires have both holes and a slot on each end so you have the choice of using either strings or straps respectively. I always had more luck using straps made of folded-over "strapping tape" that is meant for wrapping packages for shipping. The metal grabs the softer plastic of this tape yet the tensile strength of the vertical pull is reinforced with those cellulose strands.It stays put, it lasts, and it's cheap.
