Thanks for your interest in Puresound Wires for your Slingerland Zoomatic Strainer. The Zoomatic strainer was used by Slingerland from the 1960's to the 1990's. It has been one of their most popular snare strainer systems. Multiple versions of this strainer do exist and all of them will work with the PR-1420's. The extended butt side originally came with a metal strap like the one pictured. In later years plastic straps or string were used. Here is how you install our wires on this drum.

( Before you begin any snare wire installation it is important to release the tension from the strainer so that the strainer is at the lowest setting so you have extra room to tighten and tune the drum.)

Installation

First and foremost set the butt side so that the wire ends hang off the head just so that the snares are laying flat and the underside where the tab connects to the wires is not on the head.

Apply pressure to the wires on both sides of the rim then with your thumb apply pressure to the top of the metal tab where it hits the extended butt arm. Then with the other hand bend the metal tab down.

To finalize the installation remove the screws and butt plate bar. Carefully bend the tab into place and then re secure the plate and screws. Then mark the metal tab and cut the unwanted metal if you want. Use a tin snips to do this.
