    I've probably watched this video a million times by now and I have got to say, from what I've heard, this could be the best snare drum I've ever heard!

      As much as I love this snare, I prefer the GRETSCH PHOSPHOR BRONZE…
      However, it’s 3 times the price of this one…
      Having said that, Mike has his snare sounding better, than the more expensive one…

    Of course Mike has played them all (or just about), and just chose that one as a flavour of the day. He's a great guy and a remarkable drummer and educator! I know what each endorser is going through here - same as any drummer's experience would be, in that it'd be very challenging to just settle on "one". You can pick one that you think is the best and then tomorrow or next week it's something else. Lets face it - they're all really good. Personally I've purchased almost every Gretsch snare present there, and some that I don't see there. At each time I thought it was "the one"....all part of the addiction and fun! What I found out, though, is that there really is no "one" snare drum and you can go broke in pursuit of finding it. Of course this whole topic is very subjective but truth is any good quality drum will do the job. Nevertheless This is a really cool idea for a video event and think it definitely demonstrates all of the fantastic snares Gretsch offer.

      Well the snare arrived and what can I say...! It's incredible! Not like some other brands that seem to add a little bit extra in the mix of their videos to make the snare sound better, I'm over the moon to say that the snare I have sounds exactly like this one! I didn't need to fiddle around with tunings, different heads or wires, right out of the box the drum had this exact sound! Thank You Gretsch, I've now got a new "go to" snare!
