Gretsch DrumsBlack Nickel Over Steel Snare Drum
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
At 14 by 6.5 inches, this black-nickel-over-steel snare is built around a 1.2 mm steel shell for a focused, projecting voice with articulation. Its medium-thin shell and 45-degree bearing edges are described as delivering balanced attack, body, and overtones. An adjustable throw-off lets you disengage the snares quickly, so changing from a snare response to a tom-like batter-head sound is a straightforward on-kit move.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or recording setups that need a projecting snare with clear articulation.
- Quickly changing between engaged snares and a tom-like batter-head sound.
