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 8x14 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.
In this video, Sound Pure drums specialist Barry Knain explains the various features of the Gretsch 8x14 Full Range Swamp Dawg Mahogany Snare Drum, and tests it out in several different tuning ranges.
