Gretsch Drums

collapse expand iconDescription

Today’s working drummers need a kit that can do it all—and do it well. The Gretsch Renown is one of the most versatile drum sets ever made. Now, with one drum set, you can play with the sensitivity and touch to handle the smoothest grooves of the 1950s; the attack and projection required to drive the most powerful compositions of the '60s and '70s; and the clarity and vibrance needed to faithfully reproduce the clean studio sounds of the '80s, '90s and beyond. Renown still features the classic 7-ply Gretsch formula maple shells, with 30-degree bearing edges and exclusive “Silver Sealer” interiors. But this Renown comes with a new twist with the addition of the Gretsch's player-friendly “302” hoop—the same hoop used on Gretsch's Brooklyn and Broadkaster series drums. Gretsch 302 hoops produce the desirable focused sound like that of a die cast hoop, but are lighter in weight and less rigid, allowing the drum to better “breath” and achieve maximum resonance. The Renown delivers the traditional Gretsch sound with an incredible open, harmonic tone that supplies the versatility needed to meet the demands of the hardest working drummers.

Cymbals, snare and hardware sold separately.

    I bought the Gretsch Renown kit and I keep it in my home office. I also own Tama , Rogers and Yamaha kits. This is by far one if my fav kits can be easily tuned up or down. I highly recommend it for jazz or rock.

  • Been playing Gretsch since 1960

    First set was 1960 - champagne sparkle. Loved them and played for years in Austin, TX - supported my family as a musician through college. Sold and had a career in academics - played occasionally. Bought a new set of Roland electronic drums - fun idea but finally sold them and bought the new Gretsch kit. Just like the good old days! I like acoustic drums.
