- I stumbled across this Gretsch Blackhawk "Mighty Mini" 12 x 5.5 Snare and LUVed it! I bought it to complete my travel kit and thought I'd share some samples with you as I took it from the box and swapped out heads and snare wires. You'll hear, and I think you may agree, it sounded REALLY GREAT even with all the stock components!
This snare features 7 ply Poplar shells, 1.6mm steel triple flange hoops, 30 degree bearing edges and includes a GTS mounting system.
Maybe I _do_ need another snare! Priceless! I like mine: because of the mount, it mounts to a cymbal arm off my throne. I don't need a snare stand, which is great for a minimal kit to lug around in the car or for a quick jam. Can get a better side stick than I was expecting, as well. Fiberskin batter, Ambassador snare-side, stock wires.
Hey, thanks for watching and thanks for your comment! That sounds like a solid and unique way to mount your snare. I've never seen that before ... I bet it's pretty cool visually as well. Also, nice head combo ... I bet it sounds great! Take care and Rock On! :)
Amazing review and really nice comparison!
Hey Enity ... thanks for watching and for the kind words. I had a good time putting this together.

Thanks!
Looks like the snare is on a stand during the whole demo. How does it feel using it mounted?
Hi Chase ... Good point! To answer your question, it feels great mounted to my Hi Hat stand. I use a Yamaha clamp and it holds it rock solid. I feel very comfortable leaning slightly on it while playing cross stick. Now, when it's sitting on a snare stand, you can put your hand in the middle of the snare and put your full weight on it, but I would NOT even think of doing that while it's mounted off the side, as something would surely break ... most likely the mount would rip right off the shell. But shy of that, it's really pretty sturdy and solid. I may make a super short video of just the small portable setup with the snare mounted instead. Thanks for watching and for your question!
With this tuning is not my sound.
Modern hi peach👍❤

Yeah! ... great sound right out of the box with all stock parts (with a little tuning of course, since they're shipped with both heads detuned). Thanks!
