Ridgeland Snare Drum Dating back nearly 40 years (1985-86), Gretsch Drums has operated its factory in what is now Ridgeland, South Carolina, where skilled craftsmen handcraft the t raditional USA Custom Series. In 2014, the company released the BROADKASTER Series, which revived the 3-ply shell, embodying the company's catchphrase, "That Great Gretsch Sound!" In 2022, the company will release a new snare drum named after the Ridgeland factory: the "USA Custom Ridgeland Snare Drums," a hybrid that combines the specifications and technology of both USA Custom and BROADKASTER. The 10-ply shell is thicker than the USA Custom Series, made from a combination of maple, gum, and poplar. It features a hybrid bearing edge that combines the traditional Gretsch 30° edge found in the USA Custom Series with an old-school BROADKASTER-style roundover edge. The result is a warm, full-bodied tone with plenty of attack. Hardware, like the USA Custom, includes a diecast hoop, lightning throwoff, and 20-strand snare wire.
