The Gretsch 6x13” Mahogany/Maple Snare Drum is designed for players who want a sharp, focused crack with a touch of warmth underneath. Built from a 16-ply shell (4 mahogany | 8 maple | 4 mahogany), it combines the dark, smooth response of mahogany with the brightness and projection of maple.
With its sharp 30º bearing edges, the 6x13” delivers a fast, cutting attack and an assertive backbeat, while the smaller diameter adds extra pop and focus. Despite its punchy character, the mahogany layers provide just enough depth to round out the tone, making it versatile for modern and classic styles alike.
Finished in a high-gloss lacquer, this snare features Tilco manganese steel snare wires, 2.5mm triple flange hoops, and Gretsch’s updated Full Range Throw Off & Butt Plate for dependable performance.
