Gretsch Brooklyn 14 x 5.5'' Mike Johnston 'Standard' Snare Drum - Secondhand

Full Description

New drum; new sound — classic roots

The Gretsch Brooklyn 14 x 5.5'' Mike Johnston 'Standard' Snare Drum is built on the vintage foundation that Gretsch are so fondly renowned. The long history between Brooklyn, New York, and Gretsch Drums, reworked with a unique construction bringing a new Standard™ sound.

A sound that's limited to a select few. The Mike Johnston Standard™ snare features a 45-degree bearing edge for a sharper attack, and a 42-strand snare wire instead of the typical 20 — ensuring your snare tone is not only sharp and responsive, but pops with an unmistakable punch on the backbeat.
