Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
With the Brooklyn series, Gretsch highlights a distinctly "USA" vision, inspired by the great snare drums and drum kits that have marked the history of studios and clubs. The name refers to the brand's New York DNA and a deliberately vintage aesthetic, while maintaining a manufacturing level designed for today's drummers. This USA Brooklyn snare drum positions itself as a premium choice for those seeking the Gretsch signature, an expressive instrument, and a high-end finish like the Gold Sparkle.
Who This Drum Is For
This snare drum is aimed at intermediate to expert drummers looking for an instrument capable of covering a wide spectrum: rock, pop, funk, soul, modern jazz, indie, gospel, or contemporary music. Its 14 x 6.5 size is perfect for those who like a snare with body that "fills" the mix without effort, while remaining responsive for ghost notes and dynamics. It also works very well as a main snare or as a second snare to vary textures within a set.
