Beautiful snare DW
Here is my one and only workhorse of a snare! I absolutely love this drum! I play a lot of different styles of music ranging from Jazz to blues to full on metal and this drum shines playing them all. The Mag throw is easily the best throw-off on the market IMHO and the 3 position Butt is so handy and quite useful. The 3mm True Hoops are just burly and beautiful and the True Pitch 50 tension rods are so smooth and accurate. Can you tell I love this snare drum? lol
DW 14x6.5 Nickel over Brass.

Beautiful snare DW
Once they get here in the mail.
The first one I'm going to start with is probably the one I wanted the most. It's a 13x7 (the bottom one)
And once it's here in my hands in my possession I will sit there in front of my computer for hours with the snare on the table staring at hardware for HOURS until the one that screams YESSSSSS pops out at me!
The one with the large stave sections (I call it the circus tent) I'm going to do offset tub lugs.

Love your Gretschie Snares! I know they sound good. . . . .hey, it's Gretsch! I love my Black Magic as well. I have a black 3 pos. Dunnett throw on mine which I like a lot, but now I'm eyeing the Inde SB1 throw in black nickel. It's a P85 style throw but much better! It will match the finish on the snare perfectly! It's made to fit most all snares including beaded ones like my Black Magic.
MD:
If you decide to go that route, let me know how good it is.
I'm having no trouble with the Ludwig stock issue.
This new 4169B Gretsch snare has the new model of the micro throw that has a lock on it.
I've always preferred the micro over the lightning throw anyway.
Regarding Gretsch snares -- up until last year I had a WMP 1954 3-ply that just might have been the best snare I ever owned/heard.
I traded it back to the guy I bought it from because he found a kit to match it.................................the only guy I would have done that for.

DWDrumr, when I first saw your pictures I thought they were mine. But yours is a Collector series. Mine is not. However, I'm become thoroughly impressed with mine. It's my snare of choice for gigging, currently.

It’s a good thing(or maybe not)I’m not rich, if I was I would have serious snare drum addiction!
There are just so many gorgeous snare drums available and I want them all!!!

Here is a “new to me” Pearl Masterworks snare. 14x5.5 maple, one ply with re-rings. I think it’s in pretty great shape for being 17 years old.
