Coated Copper Snare with Chunky Die-Cast Hoops
A thin shell (1.2mm) of earthy, expressive copper — powder coated in a stealthy black finish inside and out — gives the Gretsch USA Custom Black Copper its memorable name and tone. Played low and open or tight and tamed, the Black Copper consistently delivers a mature tone and impeccable visuals from behind the kit. Flawless integrated bearing edges and snare beds serve up a synergistic head-shell-snare response. And chunky die-cast hoops dry out overtones while supplying a devastating rimshot.

This controls a 42-strand snare wire that delivers the ultimate in thickness and sensitivity. A Gretsch Round Badge provides a healthy dash of those throwback Gretsch visuals, and a Snap-In key holder ensures you’ve always got a drum key ready for tuneups and head swaps.
