SABIAN Finger Cymbals Light vs SABIAN Blend Custom Snare Wire Phosphor Bronze 42 Strand

These are entirely different products: finger cymbals for hand percussion in world music and educational settings versus a snare wire for drum kit use. Choose the finger cymbals if you play traditional dance or ensemble music; choose the snare wire if you're a drummer needing a replacement wire for your 14" snare drum.

No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.
