Powerful deep sound with classic USA Custom character

The Gretsch USA Custom Snare 14" x 8" Satin Natural continues the legacy of the legendary Round Badge series from the 1950s, embodying the unmistakable "Great Gretsch Sound" that has been a hallmark of the brand for decades. The 6-ply maple/gum shell delivers a perfect balance of warmth, projection, and an exceptionally wide dynamic range capturing everything from sensitive ghost notes to powerful rimshots. The classic 30° bearing edge enhances the snare's fast attack and ensures balanced sustain.

Silver Sealer on the inside

Inside, the Silver Sealer coats the shell, contributing significantly to its focused, controlled sound. The 4mm die-cast hoops add extra precision and rimshot power, while the Lightning lift-off mechanism allows for reliable, sensitive snare adjustments. The snare drum is finished off with high-quality Remo or Permatone heads and an elegant Satin Natural finish, sealed with a hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer for a smooth, classic look.
