Gretsch Drums Introduces the USA Custom Black Copper Snare Drum
Extending the range of snare drum shells in the USA Line

Gretsch Drums announce the extension of their USA manufactured snare drums with the addition of the Black Copper Snare Drums. Gretsch’s Black Copper snare drums include all the elements of a classic copper shell, but with a twist. The new snares have a thin layer of black powder coating applied to their 1mm copper shell which in their own words “adds control to the overall sonic character of the drum, whilst still retaining the traditional warm, articulate sound”. The finishing touch is a laser engraved round badge logo exposing the copper shell hidden underneath.

Properties:
Because of its softer composition, copper delivers a combination of dry warmth, punch, and dynamic range, resulting in a player-friendly snare drum that’s well-suited for a variety of musical applications. A Lightning throw off™, 42-strand snare wires, 45 degrees bearing edge, die cast hoops and Snap-In™ key holder round-out the features of this unique snare drum.

The snare is available in two sizes 5×14 (G4160BC) and 6.5×14 drums (G4164BC)
