Sound Pure's Take
The Gretsch Solid Steel snare is made from a cast shell that is then machined to exact tolerances. The seamless shells are 3mm thick at the shell wall and 5mm thick at the each edge and have 45-degree bearing edges. This thicker shell provides a focused note, definition of notes, and a snapping crack not found in your typical metal shell snares. The shell interiors and exteriors are finished in a sleek and glossy black nickel and includes the traditional Lightning throw-off, top and bottom die-cast hoops, 'Snap-In' key holder, center shell Gretsch knurled pattern and 42-Strand snare wire.
