Description

Unlike traditional ply shells, the Gretsch Walnut Stave Snare is constructed from solid walnut staves joined together to create an exceptionally dense shell with thick reinforcement rings. This construction enhances the natural tonal qualities of walnut, producing warm fundamentals, darker overtones, rich low-end character and a shorter, more controlled sustain. The result is a snare that is louder, sharper and more powerful than a conventional walnut ply drum while retaining the musical warmth and depth that walnut is renowned for.

Finished in an elegant clear satin lacquer, the drum is fitted with 3mm triple-flanged hoops that provide an open, musical response while maintaining excellent tuning stability. Precision 30° bearing edges maximise shell resonance, and the 20-strand steel snare wires deliver crisp articulation across a broad dynamic range. Completing the specification is Gretsch’s Full Range Throw-Off and Butt Plate, offering smooth operation and dependable performance.
