VINTAGE 1960's Gretsch Round Badge 5.5x14 Name Band Snare Drum in Red Sparkle

• Vintage Snare Drum.

• Size: 5.5x14.

• Details & Notes: The classic Great Gretsch Sound associated with the snare drums heard on so many bebop recordings. This lovely 60's 6ply Round Badge has all the goodies. A working Micro Sensitive strainer and adjustable end plate, functional internal tone control, hefty die cast hoops, and a lovely Red Sparkle wrap that glimmers in the light. The drum is over all in great condition, though there is a slight bit of wrap lift at the seam and a few minor scratches. The Micro Sensitive is missing the bottom clasp (a very common occurrence), so the snare strings are just threaded through the bottom plates screw holes (some players even did this intentionally to ensure their snares didn't fail on a gig). The drum features original Gretsch 42 strand wires for a fat and sensitive sound.

• *Used and vintage snares are on display in our showroom. Snares may show fingerprints or stick marks from being tested and demoed, or disclosed signs of wear from previous owners*
