Featuring a 10-ply all-maple shell with 30-degree bearing edges, both the batter and resonant wood hoops are contoured to enhance the fundamentally warm wood tones. The contoured hoops emit an open tone which naturally blends with warm wood tones of the shell. Both S-6514WMH and S-6514WH resonant-side hoops have notches at the throw-off and butt plate positions to allow the throw-off mechanism to fully engage and disengage with ease. The batter side hoop is also notched to allow easy access to the throw-off lever. The throw-off is a new Gretsch drop-style that augments the functionality and visual appeal of these snare drums.
