Gretsch Brooklyn series metal snare drums add another professional and distinctive voice to the Gretsch Drums line up. The 5Óx14Ó chrome over brass shell (with Gretsch center knurl pattern) is a snare drum that has the broadest capability for bringing a pitch, tone and dynamic range that will lend itself to any kind of music. And it looks great wherever you use it!

All shells include Gretsch “302” 3mm/double-flanged hoops, the ÒLightningÕ throw off and butt plate, “Snap-in” drum key holder, 20-strand snare wire and Gretsch Permatone drum heads. The brass shells resonate with classic, musical tones and are extremely versatile. The “302” hoops provide a timbre that is more open and ambient than traditional Gretsch die-cast hoops.
