The 16-ply Gretsch mahogany/maple snare drum collection offers you the best of both worlds: the sound and feel of mahogany, and those of maple. This assortment meets all your musical needs and preferences.
The 8 plies of maple and the 30° bearing edge make all the difference on the 6x13" and 5x14" models. These offer a powerful and incisive sound, with subtle sonic depth thanks to the mahogany.
The 6.5" and 8x14" models deliver a sound that is slightly less punchy, but with richer lows and a fuller backbeat, thanks to their 8 plies of mahogany and soft 30° bearing edge.
Each size features a magnificent gloss lacquer finish and includes:
16-ply maple/mahogany shell
Soft 30° bearing edges
Tilco strainer
2.5 mm triple-flanged hoops
Newly designed throw-off and butt plate
