General

This snare is part of Gretsch's New Classic series and offers an ultra-clear sound. Its 10-ply maple shell has a thickness of 10 mm and features 30-degree bearing edges with a slightly rounded outside edge. Combined, the wood type and the bearing edges provide the snare with a remarkably clear tone with maximum sustain.

Die-cast hardware for an optimal sound

The die-cast hoops and lugs of this Gretsch snare are made of a durable metal and enable you to tune the drumheads to the desired pitch. Not only can this die-cast hardware withstand prolonged tension, but the lugs and hoops have been designed to keep the tension rods firmly in place while you're playing, preventing them from coming undone due to vibrations and keeping the snare tuned to perfection at all times.

All Gretsch characteristics united in one snare drum

This snare drum has a Satin Walnut finish that consists of several layers of Nitrocellulose lacquer, providing a hard yet flexible and durable exterior that can be polished to a marvelous gloss. As an additional benefit, the lacquer finish increases the resonating capability of the snare, ensuring an exceptional sound. The NC-5514S-SWB is equipped with a manual snare system, which enables you give your snare either a dull or a sharp sound with one simple movement - ideal if you want to change your tone quickly. In short, this Gretsch New Classic snare drum is a real catch, featuring all the typical Gretsch characteristics with regards to sound, colour and durability.

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.
