The Gretsch 5x14” Birch Snare Drum is sharp, articulate, and built to cut through the mix. With its 8-ply birch shell, this snare delivers the dry, focused tone birch is known for—short sustain, tight projection, and a crisp attack that makes it ideal for both live and studio work.
The 5x14” size emphasizes brightness and sensitivity, giving it a quick, punchy backbeat with excellent response for detailed playing. Outfitted with 30º bearing edges, Tilco manganese steel snare wires, and 2.5mm triple flanged hoops, it balances clarity with durability. Gretsch’s redesigned Full Range Throw Off & Butt Plate ensures smooth, reliable performance.
