A beautiful oak snare with a great sound and look. This drum is sure to stand out, no matter what your set up is.
Gretsch’s 6.5 x 14” Oak Stave Snare Drum is unlike anything else you’ve ever played. Stave shells are a little bit different than your typical ply drums. The process of making a stave drum is very similar to that of making a barrel. Stave drums are composed of select pieces of hardwood that are bound together and glued at the edges. This drum is made from thirty pieces of solid cherry wood that are pinned together with absolute precision. Each piece is 7/8’s of an inch thick, so needless to say this drum has a huge sound that is full-bodied with plenty of resonance. One benefit of stave drums is that it significantly cuts down on the amount of glue in the drum. Glue as we all know is a dead sounding material, and kills the tone of your drums. On average, this “stave” process uses less than 5% of the glue than your typical ply drum of the same size. This gives you a pure, true sound that is full and robust. It is finished in a natural satin lacquer which allows the true beauty of the wood to speak for itself.
