The Gretsch¬ Brooklyn Series Chrome-over-Steel snare drums are the latest additions to the Brooklyn snare drum series. The drums feature knurled 2.0mm thick chrome plated steel shells. With highly polished chrome lugs, Lightning throw-off, butt plate and Gretsch ñ302î 3mm/double-flanged hoops, every drum comes complete with 20-strand snare wires and Gretsch Permatone drum heads. Due to the thick shell, the snares produce a sharp, crisp attack with a full body sound. The ñ302î hoops add the power needed to cut through any musical setting while retaining sensitive musical tones.
