Gretsch 5.5x14' Brooklyn Standard 8-Lug Snare Drum - Black

Here is a fantastic versatile snare drum from Gretsch, barely used. This drum was developed with Mike Johnston! Gretsch describes this drum well with their description:

It actually sounds better here, than on the Mike Johnston videos.
It sounded a bit dead on those.
