Gretsch 6.5x14 Hammered Black Steel Snare Drum is ... simply put, a unique drum ... both visually and sonically. We started with our1.2mm steel shell and added large hammering impressions to it resulting in a focused tone with a slightly dryer overall attack. This not only adds to the overall sound but also it gives this versatile drum a stunning visual appeal, making them an integral additional to any setup. · 1.2mm Hammered Black Steel · 45 Degree Bearing Edge · 4mm Die Cast Hoops · 10 Lugs · Drum heads by Remo
