Guitar Center Product Reviews: GRETSCH Mark Schulman 6×13 Signature Snare
by Chris Waldheim, Drum Sales Expert
Many come close to reproducing the signature Mark Schulman punchy popcorn pop, but none can match it. This snare drum is the perfect all around workhorse. Whether you are playing jazz, funk, rock, punk, or metal, the Schulman delivers the versatility a seasoned drummer can appreciate and be proud of.
It’s a 9 ply, 8.6 mm maple Shell that features a double bubinga inlay, di cast hoops, and a 45 degree bearing edge that delivers one of the sweetest rim shot tones known to man. The Schulman that I have in my set up also happens to be rocking a 30-strand snare wire on the bottom, which only adds to the overall juiciness of the drum.
I had the pleasure of swapping this snare with my stock Pearl Export 5×14 and the difference in my bands sound was immense, my bass player even joked that I must have been practicing for a change. While I may not be a better drummer just for buying the Schulman; I have given myself the tools to succeed. I recommend this as a must have for any serious percussionist’s snare collection.
