The Gretsch USA Custom Snare 14" x 8" Satin Natural continues the legacy of the legendary Round Badge series from the 1950s, embodying the unmistakable "Great Gretsch Sound" that has been a hallmark of the brand for decades. The 6-ply maple/gum shell delivers a perfect balance of warmth, projection, and an exceptionally wide dynamic range capturing everything from sensitive ghost notes to powerful rimshots. The classic 30° bearing edge enhances the snare's fast attack and ensures balanced sustain.
Inside, the Silver Sealer coats the shell, contributing significantly to its focused, controlled sound. The 4mm die-cast hoops add extra precision and rimshot power, while the Lightning lift-off mechanism allows for reliable, sensitive snare adjustments. The snare drum is finished off with high-quality Remo or Permatone heads and an elegant Satin Natural finish, sealed with a hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer for a smooth, classic look.
