Club beast

This is one of those instruments that just have it all - great sound, great feel, versatile in every situation and fair price.
I had 14x6.5 version of the snare, which was great but my instict told me that smaller version could be even better for clubs and smaller venues.
I was right!
It can pull off all tunings, from fat balads snare to cracking tight fusinon sounds.
It's a steel snare, so some kind of muffling is needed. I have ambasador coated on it, and small moongel pad - works like a charm.
It's biggest strength is - sitting in the mix. It's just right there where you need it. Sound guys will love you.
Make sure you have a decend bag/case for it. This is something you will have for years.
Definitelly worth having, I don't see myself changing it anytime soon.

Solid snare!

Imaginary 02.09.2023

I acquired this snare because I very much like smaller sizes and wanted a metal sound. This snare is really good and fulfills my expectations.

Very well made, heavy and shiny. Gretsch really polished the surface.
Easy to tune, the construction is solid and the throw off works really smoothly.
As for the sound, it is popping! Defined and with loud rimshots. Beware, however, that these hoops are bigger than usual so not that kind on the stick.

I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase for a smaller metal snare.
