Mike Johnston and Gretsch's Brooklyn Standard Snare Drum blends the classic 6-ply maple/poplar Brooklyn wood shell formulation with some high-performance add-ons. Heavy-duty engraved Gretsch 302 Hoops (3.0mm double-flanged) sit on double 45-degree bearing edges for optimized head and shell interaction. On the batter side, an old-school internal damper helps take some of the edge off a cranked head or miked shell. On the snare side, stock 42-strand snare wires give the Brooklyn Standard a fat attack and incredible response. Paired with Gretsch tube lugs, the Brooklyn's standard Lightning throw off and butt plate, the Gretsch Brooklyn Standard Snare Drum is a recipe for great presence and tone. A Silver Sealed interior and Mike Johnston signature label complete the package.
