The Full Range Birch snares are voiced to be dry, short and mic-friendly, for live or studio use. At 14x6.5 inches this is the deepest birch model in the range, adding body to the backbeat alongside birch's focused attack. Full Range is Gretsch's snare drum series built to cover a full range of sounds and playing situations. The birch models come in 10x5", 12x5.5", 13x6", 14x5" and 14x6.5" sizes, all in a Satin Classic finish.
An 8-ply birch shell with 30-degree bearing edges gives the focused, controlled sound birch is known for. It is finished in a matt Satin Classic lacquer that shows off the grain.
Gretsch's newly designed Full Range throw-off gives smooth, precise snare adjustment, so you can set the wires as tight or as loose as the music needs.
20-strand steel snare wires, anchored by the matching Full Range butt plate, give a crisp, sensitive response from ghost notes to full backbeats.
2.5mm triple-flanged steel hoops and chrome double-ended lugs with brass inserts hold tuning and complete a classic Gretsch look. The drum comes fitted with Remo heads.
Gretsch has been making drums since 1883, when Friedrich Gretsch opened a small music shop in Brooklyn, New York, making banjos, drums and tambourines. Fred W. Gretsch, the founder’s great-grandson, later bought the company back and returned it to the family.
Gretsch drums have been played by Max Roach, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Cobb and Charlie Watts, and its USA drums are built in Ridgeland, South Carolina.
