Gretsch Drums Catalina Club Jazz Antique

This is the truth guys, Gretsch just nailed it with this drumset.
The finish looks amazing!
Lugs, hoops, hardware = really good, very easy to tune, nothing feels cheap.

If you play jazz and tune the drums to a higher pitch, it becomes so melodic! I can easly play melody with the drums. (even with the stock heads!)

If you want a more hiphop or rock sound, just put some thicker/muffled drumheads and it will have all the punch you need.

It all comes to how you tune your drums, BUT... the 30º edge really makes it easier.

If you guys are looking for a jazz/bebop set for around this price. this is the best bet.

Don't be fooled by the kind of wood to use in a drumset or the "maple resonates more" talk... it all comes to the whole package of quality (lugs, bolts, hoops, perfect edge, leveled shell) and your knowledge of drum tunning..
I really think this drums have this whole package. Great quality at a crazy competitive price. Great job Gretsch!
