The Gretsch 6.5x14” Birch Snare Drum captures everything drummers love about birch: a focused, dry tone with short sustain that excels in both live and studio settings. Its 8-ply birch shell delivers crisp articulation and punchy projection, making it highly mic-friendly and versatile across genres.
The deeper 6.5” size adds extra body and low-end weight while keeping the quick, controlled character of birch. Outfitted with 30º bearing edges, Tilco manganese steel snare wires, and 2.5mm triple flanged hoops, it balances warmth with clarity. Gretsch’s newly designed Full Range Throw Off & Butt Plate rounds out the build with smooth, reliable performance.
