Heavy Sound and Quality All Around
If you’re in need of a high-grade heavy sounding snare, look no further than Gretsch’s Phosphorus Bronze snare drum. As the heaviest member of Gretsch’s family of drums, the Phosphorus Bronze is constructed with a 5mm cast phosphorus bronze shell, while boasting 10 lugs with 4mm die-cast hoops and measuring 6.5 inches x 14 inches. This rock-solid combination projects with gargantuan stature, making this snare a fit for the biggest stages and leaving a footprint that is by no means subtle. However, despite its tremendous power, the Phosphorus Bronze exudes a fabulous tonal character that’s just as warm as it is clear. But aside from looking and sounding great, the Phosphorus Bronze is outfitted with a lightning throw off for extremely fast transitions from an edgy 42-strand rattle to a deeper, tom-like thump — a luxury that Sweetwater drummers absolutely love having on their snares! Top things off with Gretsch’s classic drum badging and a pair of steady Gretsch Permatone heads, and you’ve got yourself an atomic snare that’ll really drop a bomb on the competition.
