Gretsch specifically developed the 10-ply Gretsch Formula Ash shell for a sharper, more aggressive sound characteristic but with a controlled sustain. We also offer these drums in 6.5x14 and 7x13 configurations to cover any situation. The visual aesthetic of the shell lets the true natural beauty of Ash show through, as no two drums look alike. The Full Range series is exactly what it says - a full range of snare sounds that can cover and adapt to any playing situation. A multitude of ways to add to your overall arsenal, all at a price that makes it easy to many different sounds.
