Gretsch® welcomes another new member to the Full Range series snare line.
$649.00
Gretsch® welcomes another new member to the Gold series snare line. The thin brushed aluminum shell creates a drier, more sensitive tone due to the inherent qualities of aluminum. The tone is more focused with fewer overtones. These qualities are offset by the sharp tonal contrast of the 13 ply rock maple hoops. The wood hoops are low profile to enhance playing comfort and feature beveled edges to provide a unique look. Sonically, these hoops produce an earthy, warm timbre with explosive cross-stick clicks. From delicate buzz rolls to piercing backbeats, the new Gold Series Aluminum/Wood hoops snare is visually and sonically differentiated.
For 135 years, the Gretsch Drum Company has produced classic American instruments that drummers the world over covet. 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.
