Gretsch - Model 4160 5x14" Round Badge Chrome Over Brass Snare Drum, c.1965
Classic mid-1960s Gretsch Model 4160 Chrome Over Brass snare drum. Gretsch Round Badge, eight double-ended lugs and heavy die-cast hoops. The 4160 became one of Gretsch's enduring professional metal snare designs, combining the crisp attack and projection of a metal drum with the warmer, fuller character associated with a brass shell.
There is a small dent at the drum-key holder opening/port, visible in the photos. The original Gretsch throw-off has been replaced with a Ludwig unit requiring extra holes.The drum is complete, functional and plays great. This drum is a true workhorse! Please see photos for exact condition.
The interior paper label is clearly stamped Model 4160, Serial No. 45663, dating this drum to approximately 1965.
