Key Features
Product Ref: 282069
British drummer Ash Soan is the go-to Pop session drummer for producers and artists the world over. Playing for artists such as Adele, Gary Barlow and Dua Lipa, featuring on a span of films like Mission Impossible and Kung Fu Panda, he is the name about town. Known for his musicality and minimal approach, his playing serves the song throughout. With his setup often reflecting this, he has been testing and designing this signature snare drum for years, creating this drum for the drum fanatic.
Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, this wood is a premium. A hard and heavy wood, drum shells are able to sing with a distinctly unique and ear-grabbing tone. Not forgoing its stunning visual impact, Purpleheart wood is highly durable - great on drum shells for exploring a variety of tunings confidently. With other brands like DW exploring the tonal qualities of this wood, expect to hear a lot more about this musical newbie.
Featuring sturdy and time-tested Gretsch hardware, tone is never lacking. 4mm die-cast hoops provide a focused and moderate-sustain that holds the head flush with the dual 45-degree bearing edges. It sings. These bearing edges enhance the attack of a strike and also enable more sensitivity at lower dynamics. A Gretsch Lightning throw-off and 20-strand snare wire enable quick and effortless tonal changes silently - ideal for recordings and live situations alike.
Proudly made in South Carolina, this drum passes rigorous and tested methods to examine its suitability to be a Gretsch Drum.
