Gretsch Drums S1-0514-BRH Full Range Series Snare Drum (Hammered Brass) - 5" x 14"The Gretsch Silver Series Hammered Brass snare drums feature 100% Brass shells. Brass 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. Specifications
