Here's a classic professional Gretsch metal snare with outstanding artist provenance, personally owned and played by renowned drummer Mark Schulman.

The is one of Gretsch's longstanding USA metal-shell designs. Its rolled brass shell provides the warmth and body associated with brass while retaining plenty of projection and high-end attack. Heavy Gretsch die-cast hoops focus the sound and provide powerful rimshots, while the wide 42-strand snare configuration gives the drum an especially sensitive and full snare response.

This example comes directly from the Mark Schulman Collection and was personally owned and played by Mark. The batter head bears Mark's large handwritten inscription:
