Gretsch Broadkaster Series 5x14 Snare Drum - Turquoise Pearl

From the 1920s through the 1950s, the Gretsch flagship drum set was the legendary Broadkaster Series. It featured a thin, three-ply shell and produced what was to be, “That Great Gretsch Sound.” Today, in the Gretsch Drum Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, with the help of advanced drum-making techniques, the Broadkaster has returned, bringing with it all of the sonic brilliance of its namesake.Broadkaster shells are made with a North American maple/poplar/maple formula. 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. The shell is hand finished with the exclusive reverse round over-bearing edge, which allows greater surface contact between the bearing edge and drumhead. The result is a tone that is incredibly deep and warm. Turquoise Pearl finish 5x14 Internal tone control Chrome hardware
