This year's PASIC proved to be a snare drum extravaganza, and Gretsch jumped right into the fray with a bunch of interesting new models, including two sizes of walnut shell snares with maple inlay, the 6-ply mahogany shell Swamp Dog (perfect for ballads that require a super wet sound), and two new Retro-Luxe models that feature high-concept design appointments reminiscent of the company’s wildly successful Renown 57 drum kits.
