Aquarian Snare-Strips protect your snare drums resonant head from damage caused by broken snare wires. Sometimes snares break, and those sharp pieces of metal can poke holes into your thin snare head! By adhering a Snare-Strip directly to your snare side head (on the edge where the snares contact the head), you can prevent any broken wires from puncturing the film. You can also use these strips to repair any holes that are already there.
