The Gretsch Walnut Stave Snare Drum has everything you know and love about walnut in spades. Its darker overtones, superb resonance, and fat attack are only augmented by its stave construction, thick reinforcement ring, 3mm triple-flanged hoops, and 30° bearing edges. Tilco snare wires, and Gretsch's newly designed full-range throw off and butt plate round out this impressive stave snare drum.
