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

One of the rare and UNIQUE 60s vintage brass snares.

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 60’s Gretsch snares are extremely rare in Australia and have a very different sound from Ludwig, Rogers, Slingerland and Premier models!

The diecast hoops give them a very distinctive, warm, powerful and exciting musical sound.
