The Gretsch USA Custom Snare 14"x5.5" Satin Natural continues the direct tradition of the legendary Round Badge series from the 1950s, delivering the unmistakable "Great Gretsch Sound" that has defined drumming for decades. Its 6-ply maple/gum shell combines warmth, projection, and an exceptionally wide dynamic range from delicate ghost notes to powerful rimshots. The classic 30° bearing edge ensures fast attack and balanced sustain.
Silver Sealer on the inside
Inside, the signature Silver Sealer coats the shell, contributing to a focused and controlled sound. 4 mm die-cast hoops add precision and rimshot power, while the Lightning lift-off allows for reliable, sensitive tuning. The snare is completed with high-quality Remo or Permatone heads and an elegant Satin Natural finish, enhanced by hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer.
