Gretsch Drums G4169BBRBN 14" Black Nickel Virveli

Combining the classic tonal properties of a bell brass shell with a black nickel hardware finish, the Gretsch G4169BBRBN is a premium USA-made 14x6.5" snare drum from the prestige USA Snare Drums series.

Bell Brass Shell

The full bell brass shell produces a characteristically bright, cutting tone with exceptional projection and a rich, musical overtone spectrum — a hallmark of brass snare drums prized by professionals in jazz, pop, and studio settings.

Black Nickel Hardware

All hardware is finished in black nickel, creating a visually striking contrast against the warm brass shell and giving the drum a distinctive, refined aesthetic that stands out on stage.

42-Strand Snare Wires

Forty-two steel snare wires deliver a full, responsive snare sound with exceptional sensitivity across the full dynamic range, from the softest ghost notes to powerful rim shots.

USA Hand-Crafted Quality

Hand-built at the Gretsch factory in the United States, the G4169BBRBN benefits from the same exacting craftsmanship applied to every drum in the premium USA series.
