The heavyweight of the lineup. The 8x14" Gretsch Full Range Maple/Mahogany Snare Drum delivers massive body, darker low-end, and the fattest backbeat of them all. Less attack than the smaller models, but unmatched depth — this drum is built for players chasing a commanding, thunderous snare sound. Shell built from 4 plies of mahogany inside and outside, with 8 plies of maple at the core (16-ply total), gloss lacquer finish, Manganese snare wires, 2.5mm triple-flanged hoops, and the new Full Rang

That’s the best way to describe the 6.5x14 Gretsch Maple Stave Snare Drum. With a classic maple warmth, bright overtones, and long sustain, this drum speaks with authority. What sets a stave shell apart from a ply shell? Density. A thick re-ring. And tone for days. Stave snares are louder, sharper, beefier, more robust… and heavier. Finished in clear satin lacquer, this snare features 3mm triple-flanged hoops, 30° bearing edges, Manganese snare wires, and the newly designed Full Range throw-off
