Gretsch Drums S-5514WH-SWN Maple snare drum
Product no: 9000-0004-2039 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty, the drum heads come with a manufacturing defects warranty.

General

Made of wood and featuring a Satin Walnut finish, the hoops of this Gretsch S-5514WH-SWN snare drum ensure a natural, warm sound. The shell of the snare is made of 10mm-thick 10-ply maple and equipped with 30-degree bearing edges, which ensure optimal sustain as they reduce the contact with your drumheads to a bare minimum, creating an open sound. The overall tone of the snare drum is warm and quite full, distinguishing this S-5514WH-SWN from regular snare drums.

Easy operation and optimal drumhead tension

The throw-off system has been slightly adjusted to accommodate the somewhat thicker wooden hoops of the S-5514WH-SWN: notches at throw-off and butt plate position allow for easy operation, enabling you to adjust the sound of the snare wires from dampened to clear with one simple movement. The snare drum is equipped with ten lugs so you can effortlessly tune your batter head to perfection. The S-5514WH-SWN is supplied with Evans drumheads and has a Gloss Natural finish that combines well with the Satin Walnut finish of the hoops and the chrome-coloured hardware, resulting in a overall classic, natural look.

Limited Edition Gretsch Jim Dandy

Wednesday 9 March 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

That the Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy is still as popular as ever is no surprise. It's a lovely, attractively priced parlour-style guitar that makes you think of the early Delta Blues. An instrument like this really doesn't need to be changed. Gretsch do bring out limited editions of this model in different colours every now and then however, just like this G9500 Jim Dandy Barn Wood Burst.
