The Gretsch 5x10” Birch Snare Drum packs a tight, high-pitched crack in a compact size. Crafted from an 8-ply birch shell, it delivers the dry, focused tone birch is known for, with short sustain and quick response that make it ideal as a side snare or for styles needing extra snap and articulation.
The smaller 10” diameter emphasizes brightness and attack, giving it a sharp voice that cuts clearly through any mix. Outfitted with 30º bearing edges, Tilco manganese steel snare wires, and 2.5mm triple flanged hoops, it balances precision with durability. A 12.7mm direct-to-shell mount and Gretsch’s redesigned Full Range Throw Off & Butt Plate ensure smooth, reliable performance.
