Description

Designed to offer the best characteristics of both mahogany and maple, the 16-ply shell produces a warm, full-bodied voice with excellent projection and articulation. The maple core provides definition, brightness and dynamic response, while the mahogany inner and outer plies contribute darker undertones and enhanced low-end warmth. Depending on the drum size, the carefully cut 30° bearing edges are optimised to deliver either a sharper, more cutting attack or a fuller, deeper backbeat with increased low-frequency response. Finished in a beautiful gloss lacquer, each drum is fitted with 20-strand steel snare wires, 2.5mm triple-flanged hoops and Gretsch’s Full Range Throw-Off for dependable professional performance.

This snare comes in a variety of sizes – the 6″x13” and 5″x14” snares are designed with a sharp 30 degree bearing edge, both providing a very cutting attack and powerful back beat with just the right amount dark undertone. The 6.5” and 8×14” sizes carry a bit less attack thanks to the soft 30 degree bearing edge and they release a ton of darker low-end with a fatter back beat.
