The Hammered Antique Copper snares are made with a 100% copper. The 1.1mm copper shell is rolled, and then welded with a clean, durable seam. The shell is then uniformly hammered over the entire surface. The combination of copper material and hammered texture provide for a fundamentally dark and dry tone. The shell has a 40-degree bearing edge and is finished in an antiqued patina. Additional features include Lightning throw-off, top and bottom die-cast hoops, 'Snap-In' key holder, classic Gretsch Drop-G octagon badge, Permatone coated top with underside dot /clear bottom heads and 42-Strand snare wire (20-strands on 13" snare).

Catalina Maple
Carefully developed to produce tones that explode a balanced amount of warm low end frequencies
The Catalina Maple series starts with the Gretsch maple formula shell. We carefully developed the maple shell specification to produce tones that explode with attack and volume and project a balanced amount of warm, low-end frequencies. All Catalina Maple shells are 7-ply, 7.2mm.
The Catalina Maples are available in two configurations - a 6-piece shell pack set and a 5-piece shell pack set. Add-on drums are also available to allow for further drum set expansion.
