The Gretsch C2 Snare Drum offers a modern twist on the classic profile of an alloy snare. This drum's core is a 2mm polished copper shell that pops with meaty low end, tight and focused mids, with higher frequency that balances out copper’s darker tonal character. The hardware features include Gretsch’s signature center knurled pattern, heavy-duty 4mm die-cast hoops, Lightning throw-off, 'Snap-In' key holder, and 42-Strand snare wires.
