Gretsch 1961 Vintage Roundbadge Brass Snare [SD 0250]

Chrome over brass shell with diecast hoops.
Made in the USA.

One of the rarest and UNIQUE 60s vintage brass snare.

From Gretsch’s original 60s catalogue:

“For the modern drummer who demands perfection in tone and the sharp, crisp sound traditionally found in a metal snare drum, the Gretsch Chrome over Brass Snare Drum is the first choice. Top professionals find Gretsch’s 14″ x 5” seamless spun brass shell and quality construction give the ultimate in response. Featuring a “Micro-Sensitive” strainer with adjustable butt end. All metal snares, polished Chrome shell, and all other metal parts. Fully Flanged Metal Hoops, Self-Seating, Self-Aligning, Strip-proof Tensioning, Stream-lined Casings.”

These vintage Gretsch snares are extremely rare in Australia and have a very different sound from Ludwig, Rogers, Slingerland and Premier Vintage Brass snares. The diecast hoops give these drums a very distinctive, warm, powerful and exciting sound. Come and play this and you’ll see what I mean!
