Gretsch snare drum with bell bronze shell
This 14"x 6.5" snare drum from the Gretsch USA series is built around a 3.0 mm bell bronze shell. That solid metal shell gives the Gretsch USA Solid "Bell Brass" Limited Edition Black Nickel a pronounced character, while the sensitive response suits recording sessions and tight, controlled playing.
Gretsch USA snares are widely associated with some of the most recorded snare drums in music history. At Magna Music, you can count on advice from players who know what matters in real use when choosing a snare drum in this class.
Construction and finish of the Gretsch USA Solid "Bell Brass"
The Special Edition Black Nickel Finish gives this snare a dark, striking look. Rounded bowl ridges shape the shell’s appearance, while cast hoops add tuning stability and a solid, direct attack.
You also get 42-strand snare wire for a broad, sensitive snare response, a Lightning snare throw-off to engage and disengage the wires, and a Gretsch snap-in key holder that keeps your drum key close at hand. Remo heads complete the setup, and this Gretsch is Made in USA.
For studio work and tightly tuned playing
The combination of a 14" diameter and 6.5" depth makes this metal snare drum a strong choice for drummers looking for a full, present snare with clear projection. With its cast hoops and 42-strand snare wire, this Gretsch snare suits players who place a high value on response and tuning stability.
The Limited Edition Black Nickel version also stands out visually on a refined studio or stage setup, while the hardware and finish match the high-end approach of the Gretsch USA series.
