Brooklyn, New York and Gretsch Drums share an inseparable legacy that is reflected in the Gretsch Brooklyn Series. Proudly hand-crafted in Gretschâs Ridgeland, South Carolina, the Brooklyn 6 ½âx14â Chrome over Steel snare drum has a very balanced combination of medium to high frequencies paired with a energetic and sharp attack and decent sustain. The shell exterior is detailed with the classic center Gretsch knurl pattern, and is assembled with â302â Hoops, and 20 strand snare wires, Lightning Throw-off, and Gretsch Permatone drum heads.
