KAZUMA OKUDA
"I often get asked to play aggressive bass lines with lots of notes across genres and styles, so I always string up DR strings when I need punch. I love the presence and comfortable tension of Hi-Beams, and the gutsy low end of Lo-Riders. I've tried both stainless and nickel Dragon Skin+ strings and neither has that unnatural feel or thin, thin-film-like sound typical of coated strings, letting me play stress-free."

Hi-Beam™
Stainless Steel Round Core Bass Strings
Model: MR5-45
Hi-Beam™ stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed on a round core which is unique in the industry. Hi-Beams require much more time, care and extra steps to make than other bass strings. The extra effort DR expends making Hi-Beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible and musically but not harshly bright. They are renowned for durability, unusually long life, consistency and string-to-string balance. They don’t eat your frets. Hi-Beams are the string to choose for brightness, punch and ease of playing. Hi-Beam bass strings require much more time, care and extra steps to make than other bass strings.
Dragon Skin+™
Coated Stainless Steel Electric Bass Strings
Model: DBS5-45
Dragon Skin+™ strings sound huge, are easy to play, and have outstanding endurance. Dragon Skin+ upgrades both the core and the wrap wires to be exceptionally musical, balanced, and loud. Accurate Core Technology™ creates grooves on the core to cradle the wrap wire, allowing the strings to ring out to their full potential.
Designed to feel and sound better,
Dragon Skin+ is unlike anything out there.
The difference is real.Lo-Rider™
Stainless Steel Hexagonal Core Bass Strings
Model: MH5-45
Lo-Rider™ bass strings are for players who are into slapping, popping and tapping. With a stainless-steel wrap wire on a hexagonal core, they deliver a combination of high end, depth and a bit of stiffness that makes harmonics very accurate. Great consistency and superior string-to-string balance are hallmarks of all DR strings, but Lo-Rider™ strings provide more depth of tone and are a bit stiffer than Hi-Beams™.
