I’ve a lovely Canopus Maple 13” and want to get a 13” brass to contrast.
I saw a Gretsch 13” with only 6 lugs and wondered whether anyone had tried it. It has die-cast hoops so tuning should be stable and I like a spongier feel. I’m not tuning super high so tension shouldn’t be a problem. I do like a lively drum so wondered if fewer lugs would make for a more open sound (although that could be offset by the die-cast hoops?) Thoughts? Thanks!
