Gretsch Drums Walnut Stave Snare Drum

Resounding tone from dense stave shells in two woods.

The Gretsch walnut stave 14×6.5″ snare drum is a perfect blend of power, dynamics, beauty and value, offering distinct tonal characteristics that set it apart from other stave drums. The walnut stave provides a darker tone with rich, low undertones and shorter sustain, tailored to fit various musical styles. Unlike ply snares, the dense walnut stave shell construction, reinforced with a thick re-ring, enhances the drum’s natural qualities, making it louder, sharper, beefier and more robust. Finished in a sleek clear satin lacquer, each drum is equipped with 3 mm triple-flanged hoops, 30-degree bearing edges, Tilco snare wires and Gretsch’s innovative full range throw-off and butt plate, ensuring superior performance and stunning aesthetics.
