Gretsch USA Custom (originally introduced as the Round Badge series in the mid-1950’s) are considered one of the staples in the drum community and have been for almost 70 years. All the Gretsch legends of yesterday proudly played them and many artists continue to carry the torch of that Great Gretsch Sound.

Our wood snares offer a time-tested blend of sensitivity, tone, classic feel, and wide dynamic range. USA Custom snare drums can be used in any style of music and the proof is in the countless recordings you’ve heard over so many years.

These snare drums are just that…. Custom. You choose your size, hardware options, and finish and we’ll do the rest. With build options so extensive, the hardest part in choosing your snare drum is deciding how you want it built and that’s a fun problem to have.
