Gretsch Drums Introduces The Gergo Borlai Signature Snare Drum
Drum phenom Gergo Borlai and Gretsch Drums have teamed up to develop a very unique addition to the USA metal snare drum range. Together, they created what he describes as a “sensitive, multifunctional, loud and limitless” snare drum – the Gergo Borlai Signature Snare (GAS42514-GB).
This instrument, one of the more distinctive in the Gretsch snare drum collection, features the following key elements: a 4.25×14” 1.2mm brass shell, 45 degree bearing edges, 20-strand snare wires and 4mm die-cast hoops. The sand blasted texture of the surface of the new signature drum shell gives it a striking look as well as a tighter overall sound.
