Gretsch Full Range Black Nickel-over-Steel Snare Drum
The combination of nickel and chrome hardware makes the Gretsch Full Range Black Nickel-over-Steel Snare Drum really stand out on stage. It’s professional and its universal aesthetic means it will suit any drum kit set up and in any musical situation.
Gretsch always make super high-quality drums and this steel Snare is not only great looking, but it sounds awesome for a very affordable price-tag. The characteristics of this steel-shell drum give it a nice balance of power and sensitivity with a wide tuning range. Just check out the 6.5″ depth model…
there are some moongel-type dampers on the skin for this demo, but this (clearly) kicks this drum into the most ‘Bonamesque’ of sound-palettes.
Here we have the 14″ x 5″ version with one of our favourites, Stanton Moore…
Stanton is a Master at tuning drums to get so many different sounds and this drum isn’t even in Gretsch’s top-line!
As you can see from the videos, the black nickel-over-steel finish gives this drum a visual aspect which defies its price-tag. It comes with 2.3mm triple-flange hoops, a 20-strand Snare wire, an adjustable strainer and 45-degree bearing edges. The drum has a combination of beauty, power, and sensitivity, all rolled into one, at a great price-point.
