Powerful brass body, pinpoint attack, and rock-steady hardware — the G4164 gives you the classic Gretsch snap with modern build quality.
Signature snap, stadium-ready projection — Gretsch’s USA Custom brass snare that cuts with authority and records with musical clarity.
The Gretsch G4164 is a 14″ × 6.5″ USA Custom snare featuring a chrome-plated brass shell that delivers bright, cutting highs with a strong, focused low end — the classic brass snare voice favored for rock, pop, and recording work.
It’s built with Gretsch’s pro hardware package (10-lug configuration), die-cast hoops for focused rimshots and tuned sustain, and a responsive bearing edge that makes tuning and articulation effortless. This snare ships set up with Gretsch heads and heavy-gauge multi-strand snare wires for immediate stage-ready performance.
