Gretsch Drums Aluminum Wood Hoop Snare Drum - 6.5x14"

Gretsch's 6.5x14 Aluminum Snare Drum with Wood Hoops begins with our 1.2mm seamless aluminum shell. This shell creates a drier tone due to the inherent qualities of aluminum along with a focused attack with minimal overtones.  Add the 13-ply Rock Maple hoops and you get extra warmth added to the attack along with a massive cross stick sound. The wood hoops are also low profile to enhance playing comfort and feature beveled edges to provide a unique look. Sonically, these hoops produce an earthy, warm timbre with explosive cross-stick clicks - truly a unique addition to any snare collection.
