Gretsch Drums USA Black Copper Snare Drum - 5 x 14-inch - Black Powder Coat

The Gretsch USA Custom Black Copper, with its thin 1.2mm shell of earthy, expressive copper and a stealthy black powder coating inside and out, is a coated copper snare drum that boasts a memorable name and tone. Whether played low and open or tight and tamed, this snare consistently delivers a mature tone and impeccable visuals from behind the kit.

The snare's flawless integrated bearing edges and snare beds provide a synergistic head-shell-snare response, while its chunky die-cast hoops help dry out overtones and deliver a devastating rimshot. Richly appointed with premium Gretsch hardware, the Black Copper comes outfitted with a choice selection of Gretsch USA components.

The Lightning Throw-Off allows for fast, quiet switching between tonal variations, controlling a 42-strand snare wire that delivers ultimate thickness and sensitivity. A Gretsch Round Badge provides a touch of classic Gretsch aesthetics to the 5" x 14" copper snare drum.

Whether you're seeking a versatile snare that can handle a wide range of musical styles or simply appreciate the visual appeal of a well-crafted instrument, the Gretsch USA Custom Black Copper is a compelling choice. Its combination of tonal depth, responsive hardware, and eye-catching appearance make it a standout option for discerning drummers.
