What We Think

Gretsch snares have an impressive performance that is as tonally distinct as the their drum sets. Capable in high volume situations and delicate and sensitive in low volume scenarios. The spread of dynamics makes it a seriously versatile drum. The die cast hoops offer a rigid bite for rim shots and an undeniable side sticking tone that will cut through almost any playing situation. Coupled with 10 double-sided lugs, the tuning range on this drum is wide and clean.

About Manufacturer

The signature “great Gretsch sound” has been utilized by numerous classic and modern drummers alike; Max Roach, Tony Williams, Cindy Blackman, Taylor Hawkins, and Vinnie Colaiuta are just a few examples of master drummers that have sat behind Gretsch kits. Currently, Gretsch’s three lines of professional-grade drums (the Brooklyn, Broadkaster, and USA Custom) are built by a small team of dedicated craftsmen in Ridgeland, South Carolina. Gretsch also offers a number of affordable import lines that allow beginner and intermediate drummers to be a part of drum history and play behind a Gretsch set.
