Gretsch Drums have announced the extension of their Full Range snare drum collection with the addition of the 14”x5″ Black Nickel Over Steel Snare drum (BNS).
The new snare is a shallower version of the affordable 14″x6.5″ BNS. Company states that, like its larger sibling it provides an ideal balance of power, sensitivity, beauty and value, all in one snare drum. The 1.2mm, 10 lug Steel Shell has a wide tuning range – from a loose, slow, dry sound to a very sharp, bold and bright attack. It features 2.5mm triple flanged hoops, an adjustable throw-off, 20 strand snare wire, a Remo Controlled Sound drum head, 45 degree bearing edges and a mirror-like black nickel plating as a metallic finish.
Gretsch Brand Manager, Andrew Shreve, comments “This is such a versatile drum, perfect for live or studio playing with a crisp, bright tone which will complement a range of drumming styles and genres.”
