Gretsch's USA Custom Metal Snare Collection is a true work of art, each drum possessing a unique character thanks to its diverse metal alloys, finishes, and size variations. From the rich tones produced by materials like brass, aluminum, steel, and copper, to the stunning finishes—satin, patina, chrome, and sandblasted—each model embodies Gretsch's craftsmanship and musicality. Each drum offers a deep tone, clear response, and a presence befitting a professional. You're sure to find the perfect snare that complements your playing style and brings out your individuality. The Chrome-Over-Brass is one of Gretsch's most iconic snare drum models. Its crisp, powerful attack, combined with a sound that maintains a strong presence within an ensemble, is truly Gretsch classic. The chrome plating on the brass shell enhances the high frequencies, resulting in a sharp, tight snap.
