Thin Aluminum Shell Has a Dry, Earthy Tone
Aluminum snares were big in the 1970s. Compared to other metal options, these drums had a politer response and almost woody voice that suited a wide range of tastes. The Gretsch Full Range aluminum snare drum harks back to this tradition with its 1.2mm seamless aluminum shell. This Full Range's naturally dry and earthy tone is complemented by a set of eye-catching wood hoops, which we feel really focuses the low-end attack. Aluminum is also sensitive to dynamics, so if grace notes are a big part of your playing style, the Gretsch Full Range 6.5" x 14" aluminum snare drum will be a welcomed addition to your collection.
