Gretsch’s 6.5x14” Maple Stave Snare combines classic maple tone with the strength and projection of stave construction. The solid maple shell produces a warm, open sound with bright overtones and long sustain, making it versatile enough for any style. It’s lively, responsive, and unmistakably “maple,” but with more punch and presence than a traditional ply snare.

Thanks to its dense stave build and thick re-ring, this snare projects with extra volume and clarity, delivering sharper attack and more body in every hit. It’s a snare that stands out—powerful, musical, and built to last.

Finished in a clear satin lacquer, the Maple Stave Snare is equipped with 30º bearing edges, 3mm triple flange hoops, manganese steel snare wires, and Gretsch’s newly designed Full Range Throw Off & Butt Plate.
