Some of the most recorded snare drums in music history come from the Gretsch USA series. Instruments like the 14"x5" Chrome Over Brass - a true legend!

The range of Gretsch USA snare drums manufactured in Ridgeland/South Carolina not only includes a sensational selection of signature models from great artists such as Vinnie Colaiuta, Keith Carlock and Gergo Borlai, who have immortalized their very own dream sound here.

The extensive range of wooden and metal snares is at least as impressive, and their range of materials, processing methods, sizes and finishes leave nothing to be desired.

Unmistakable features such as the tuning-stable cast hoops, the Lightning or Micro Sensitive lift-off and the beautiful, timeless design are almost a given at Gretsch.

But in the end it is clear: Above all, the unmistakable sound and the sensitive response make the Gretsch USA snare drums a must-have in every recording session.

It’s simply… That Great Gretsch Sound!
