GRETSCH INTRODUCES G-5000 SOLID SERIES SNARE DRUMS
Gretsch G5000 Solid Walnut Snare |
For the first time in recent memory (possibly as far back as 1927, when Gretsch introduced the first-ever multi-ply laminate drum shell in the industry), Gretsch will offer single-ply wood snare drums. Gretsch’s G-5000 Solid Series feature a single-ply, solid snare drum and are available in either solid maple or solid walnut. Each shell includes solid maple reinforcement hoops to ensure true shell roundness, and shells are finished in clear Nitro Cellulose gloss lacquer. Handcrafted in Gretsch’s Ridgeland, SC Custom Drum Shop G-5000 Solid snares include 30-degree bearing edges, die-cast hoops, 20-strand snare wires and coated Permatone batter head with underside dot. All models are available in either Lightning or Dunnett throw-off and butt plate.
G-5000 Solid Maple snare drums offer the ultimate in tonal balance with deep mid-range warmth and a bright and clear high-end. Features include a solid maple shell, “DropG” badge, 30-degree edge in natural Nitro Cellulose gloss finish. Available w/Lightning or Dunnett throw off & butt plate.
