Gretsch Drums is pleased to introduce new Brushed Brass snare drums available in two sizes, a 5.5 x 14 offering (S-5514-BB), and a 6.5 x 14 option (S-6514-BB).
The new brushed brass snare drums combine the pure sound of a brass shell with the look and feel of a boutique hand-finished shell. A specialized hand brushing process is used to carefully apply the shell finish, and the result is a stunning two-toned, vintage patina color effect. Since each shell is hand-brushed, no two shells are exactly the same in appearance, which adds to the appeal of the drums.
With a 1.0 mm thick beaded brass shell, the snare includes 10 classic Gretsch lugs, 2.3mm triple flanged hoops, adjustable side-pull throw off, and Evans USA drumheads. These excellent features produce classic, full-bodied snare drum tones with a wide tuning range to deliver excellent performances in a variety of musical settings.
