The Gretsch Broadkaster vintage build snare drum is available in 3 stunning finishes to match your Broadkaster kit (if you're lucky enough to have one). Other finishes are available, please contact us for further information. Broadkaster shells are 3 ply maple-poplar-maple. Each shell includes an interior ply scarf joint that supplies added structural integrity to thin, musical shells. Like all USA-made Gretsch drums, shell interiors are finished with classic Gretsch Silver Sealer. Bass drum & tom shells are hand finished with a reverse roundover bearing edge. This allows greater surface contact with the drumhead, resulting in a fatter, warmer tone. Snare drums are finished with a standard 30° bearing edge. Toms & snare drums are fitted with 302, double flanged steel hoops. These are similar to the original "stick chopper" hoops used in the 1950s, but are made from a heavier gauge steel. The thicker rims help to control overtones and to protect your sticks.The vintage hardware package features hardware component styles used on 1950s-era Gretsch drums, including drum mufflers, throw-off and key holder.
