This snare drum from the Gretsch Brooklyn series has a 14" x 6.5" maple and poplar shell and offers professional sound for stage and studio. Equipped with flanged steel hoops, Silver Silver Silver inner seal and Remo heads, the Brooklyn Snare Drum produces the typical classic Gretsch sound with its high recognition value, but with other modern sound nuances, just right for today's pop and rock music.
The shells of the Gretsch Brooklyn drums consist of a total of 6 layers of a maple/poplar combination. The interior of the drum shell is coated with the legendary Silver Sealer interior sealant for improved sound projection. The edges of the shell are relatively flat with an angle of 30°, which causes an increased contact to the head and gives the sound more punch and warmth. The result is That great Gretsch Sound!
The Brooklyn Snare Drum comes with Remo Permatone heads. The single-layer head help the shell to develop its full sound potential and support the open sound character of the Brooklyn drums. For the same reason, double-flanged steel hoops were used instead of cast hoops, because the relatively light Gretsch 302 hoops allows the shell to resonate better.
The shell hardware in the form of hoops, snare throw-off and lugs is high-quality chrome-plated and, together with the satin cherry red finish, forms a noble symbiosis. The chic, round Brooklyn metal badge with the famous Gretsch logo is made of aluminium and makes the whole thing complete for all those who are looking for a professional instrument with style.
The Gretsch Broooklyn drums were named after the place where the traditional manufacturer was founded in 1883: Brooklyn, New York. A district that represents contemporary artistic expression like no other, with fresh innovations and passionate musical dedication. Features that can be easily transferred to the Brooklyn drum sets from Gretsch.
