Gretsch Drums S1-0514-MPL Silver Series Snare 14''

A foundational model in the S1 Full Range lineup, the Gretsch S1-0514-MPL is a 5x14" snare drum built from a 10-ply maple shell in Gloss Natural finish with die cast hoops and a Silver Sealer interior treatment.

10-Ply Maple Shell

The ten-ply maple shell delivers the balanced tone that maple is renowned for: warm midrange, controlled sustain, and enough brightness and projection to cut through any ensemble without harshness.

Die Cast Hoops

Die cast hoops provide increased mass compared to triple-flange steel hoops, resulting in a more focused, dry rimshot tone and improved head tension consistency across all lugs.

Silver Sealer Interior

A Silver Sealer interior finish seals the inner surface of the shell to stabilise the wood against humidity and temperature changes, preserving the drum's tonal characteristics over time.

30-Degree Bearing Edges

Thirty-degree bearing edges ensure even head seating and contribute to the articulate, defined attack characteristic of the S1 series across all dynamic levels.
