What We Think

The Gretsch Swamp Dawg is a beautiful, 8-tube snare that offers a versatile and different sound to the world-renowned Gretsch drum line. The deep 8x14 mahogany shell creates a dark, "low fi", swampy sound at lower tunings, which offers some amazingly unique and classic rock reminiscent tones. Tune it up a bit and you'll get a full sound with saturated attack. Gretch's hand-crafted, top-quality design with solid 6-ply mahogany shell is made so the drum will cut through your band's sound and look beautiful laying back on the stage.
