The Hammered Brass Snare Drum from Gretsch creates a pleasantly warm tone that naturally bridges the gap between wood and steel snare drums. The cutting power of metal is present but balanced out by the dark complexity of brass. Gretsch takes the classic recipe one step further and applies a hammering pattern to the shell. This naturally reduces overtones and creates a powerful, focused sound. The Gretsch Hammered Brass Snare Drum is equipped with Die-cast hoops, REMO drum heads, an adjustable throw-off and a fixed butt plate. OXYGEN MUSIC is proud to stock a wide range of Gretsch products, including the Full Range Series 14x5 Inch Hammered Brass Snare Drum.
