Gretsch Drums BH-5512-BK 12" Black Snare Drum

Compact but punchy, the Gretsch BH-5512-BK Black Hawk Mighty Mini is a 5.5x12" snare drum built from a 7-ply poplar shell that delivers a tight, controlled voice well suited to compact kits and auxiliary setups.

7-Ply Poplar Shell

The seven-ply poplar shell produces a focused, dry tone with a quick decay — ideal for genres and playing situations where a crisp, cutting snare sound cuts through a dense mix.

30-Degree Bearing Edges

Thirty-degree bearing edges contribute a clear, articulate attack and ensure even contact between the drum head and shell rim, supporting consistent tone across all dynamic levels.

Triple-Flange Steel Hoops

1.6mm triple-flange steel hoops seat the drum head evenly and deliver a sharp, bright rimshot tone while keeping the overall weight of the drum low for a small-format instrument.

GTS Mount Compatible

The GTS (Gretsch Tube System) mounting compatibility allows the Mighty Mini to be integrated into a larger kit as an auxiliary snare without requiring an additional snare stand.
