Keith Carlock designed this drum to provide session players with a snare for all occasions. Whether you need a tight, snappy crack, or a rich, low-tuned thud, this Gretsch snare's carefully selected features allow you to dial in just the right amount of attack, body, and overtone ring.
45 degree bearing edges ensure the lively, natural ring of the brass shell remains present, while die cast hoops suppress the more prominent ringing tones for an organic, controlled overall sound. Crank the top head for a powerful pop, or take it down low, to make the most of the brass's warm bass response.
The king of the rock fusion groove. Keith Carlock is a mainstay of the classic pop/rock scene. In the past, he's contributed to albums and live performances by acts like Toto, John Mayer, Sting, and James Taylor. But Carlock is perhaps best known for his work with pop fusion luminaries Steely Dan, whom he joined in the late 1990s. Known for his infectious, endlessly musical playing, Carlock is revered within the drumming community, and has won many "Best Drummer" accolades from the industry over the years.
