Gretsch’s new wood/metal batter hoop takes the concept of contoured wood hoops one-step further. Featuring a 10- ply all-maple shell with 30-degree bearing edges, both the batter and resonant wood hoops are contoured to enhance the fundamentally warm wood tones. The contoured hoops emit a naturally open tone. The batter hoop also features a flanged metal hoop is firmly affixed inside the wood hoop. The top of the metal hoop extends slightly above the wood hoop. When striking rim shot or rim clicks, metallic tones naturally blend with warm wood tones. The metal hoop also adds an extra measure of durability. The resonant-side contoured wood hoop is made without the flanged metal insert.

Both S-6514WMH and S-6514WH resonant-side hoops have notches at the throw-off and butt plate positions to allow the throw-off mechanism to fully engage and disengage with ease. The batter side hoop is also notched to allow easy access to the throw-off lever. The throw-off is a new Gretsch drop-style that augments the functionality and visual appeal of this snare drum.

Models:

• S-6514WMH-MPL  - 6.5x14 - includes batter side flanged metal hoop insert
• S-6514WH-MPL - 6.5x14

Rosewood is a hard, dense wood and projects a powerful full-bodied sound. Rosewood’s natural beauty contrasts its naturally aggressive sound. The reddish/brown wood grain features a complex grain pattern that is highlighted by the clear high-gloss finish. These snares feature 100% 9-ply Rosewood shells with 30-degree edges, die-cast hoops, traditional throw-off and adjustable butt plate

Models:

• SS-5514-RW - 5.5x14 10 lug
• SS-6514-RW - 6.5x14 10 lug
• SS-0814-RW - 8x14 20 lug

Ash wood is inherently dense and produces a high fundamental pitch with quick response. These drums feature a 10-ply ash shell and include 45-degree bearing edges and 2.5mm triple-flanged hoops to enhance the natural tonal properties of Ash. Both drums include a GTS suspension mount and bracket, in matching black, that can be mounted onto hi-hat or cymbal stands with a 10.5mm L-Arm (not included). This allows for quick and easy set-up without having to add another snare stand.
