I am parting ways with this incredible Gretsch Brooklyn Standard Mike Johnston signature snare drum. This is the rather rare 'Blue Glass / Blue Sparkle' Limited Edition—only 100 of these were ever produced worldwide. I bought this snare at my local drum shop.
It has been properly tuned for both studio sessions and live shows, and always safely transported. It is an extremely versatile drum with a massive dynamic range, handling everything from the most articulate ghost notes to heavy, cracking backbeats with ease. The articulation is very crisp due to the wider snare mat. I found it very fitting for multiple genres and takes dampening great also.
Specifications:
- Size: 14" x 5.5"
- Shell: 6-ply North American Maple/Poplar (the classic Gretsch Brooklyn formula)
- Finish: Blue Glass / Sparkle (Limited Run of 100)
- Bearing Edge: Double 45-degree for a highly responsive and crisp attack
- Hoops: Gretsch 302 Hoops (3mm double-flanged)
- Snare Wires: 42-strand for maximum sensitivity
- Lugs: Gretsch Tube Lugs
- Throw-Off: Gretsch Lightning mechanism
- Extras: Internal batter-side dampener (Tone Control), the legendary Silver Sealer interior, and the inside paper tag signed by Mike Johnston.
Condition & Shipping: The drum is in excellent condition and it's fitted with a new Remo Pinstripe head. Local pickup is available in Gent, Belgium. I am willing to ship internationally—please message me for an exact shipping quote to your specific location if it's not listed.
