Gretsch 5x14" Vinnie Colaiuta Signature Snare Drum

Gretsch 5x14-Inch Vinnie Colaiuta Signature Snare Drum

Legendary Gretsch Artist Vinnie Colaiuta was determined to find a primary snare drum with the versatility to meet his needs both on stage and in studio. Working closely with the craftsmen at the Gretsch USA Factory in Ridgeland, South Carolina, they produced the incredible signature snares with all of the sonic characteristics that Vinnie had been looking for. Vinnie's primary snare, the 5x14-Inch, has an extended dynamic range with an incredible body and remarkable sensitivity.  The drum is finished in a distinctive Cobalt Blue to compliment the Gretsch USA Custom kit used on the Sting/Peter Gabriel "Rock, Paper, Scissors" World Tour. This drum features Gretsch USA's 6-ply North American Maple Gum Shells with Silver Sealer interiors, 4mm die-cast hoops, and Vinnie Colaiuta Signature Gretsch Badges.
