Gretsch Drums Gold Series Aluminum Snare Drum

The Gretsch Gold series snare line welcomes another member. Owing to the inherent properties of aluminum, the thin brushed aluminum shell creates a drier, more sensitive tone. This tone is more focused with fewer overtones. The sharp tonal contrast of the 13-ply rock maple hoops offsets these qualities. Designed for enhanced playing comfort, the low-profile wood hoops feature beveled edges, lending a unique visual appeal. Sonically, these hoops produce an earthy, warm timbre with explosive cross-stick clicks.

The new Gold Series Aluminum/Wood hoops snare is visually and sonically differentiated, catering to a wide range of playing styles - from delicate buzz rolls to piercing back beats.

The 6.5x14" snare drum boasts a seamless aluminum shell with a bolt-on Gold Series round badge. The natural brushed aluminum finish is complemented by chrome hardware. The 13-ply rock maple satin natural wood hoops contribute to the drum's distinctive tonal character.

Fully adjustable features, including a throw-off, 30-degree bearing edge, and 10 lugs, ensure optimal playability. The drum is outfitted with Remo heads, providing a consistent and reliable performance.

In summary, the Gretsch Gold Series Aluminum/Wood hoops snare drum offers a unique blend of tonal properties, visual appeal, and advanced functionality. The aluminum shell's inherent qualities, combined with the contrast of the maple hoops, create a versatile and expressive instrument suitable for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques.
