Traditional meets modern

Gretsch drums have strong associations with jazz legends like Tony Williams, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones, as well as rock drummers like Charlie Watts and Phil Collins. The Gretsch Catalina Club Studio Drumset is perfectly suited to many different musical genres with its classic studio configuration. The shells made of 100% seven-ply mahogany deliver a warm, resonant sound. From its round badges and classic lugs through to the natural wood and foil surfaces, this set has a look that is very clearly in keeping with the Gretsch tradition.

14" x 5,5" Gretsch Catalina Club Snare

Small drums - big sound

A 20"x14" bass drum combined with 12"x8" and 14"x14" toms and a 14"x5.5" wooden snare drum make up the Catalina Club Studio drum set. Gretsch’s typical 30° bearing edge not only gives the mahogany drums, which are untreated from the inside, a soft, musical sound, but also makes tuning the drum heads a lot easier. Additionally, the free-floating tom mounting system and the 1.6mm thick hoops ensure optimum sustain. With its sturdy bass drum legs and the flexibly adjustable tom holder, the kit - unlike its predecessors from the 50s and 60s - can easily cope with the rigours of everyday touring. Last but not least, the 14" deep bass drum creates a warm, powerful sound that is strongly reminiscent of the classic vintage sounds.

Lots of possible uses

The list of possible applications for the Catalina Club Studio Drumset is very diverse. The affiliation with recording environments is already clear from the name, but it cuts an excellent figure in many other places too. The kit also makes a convincing case as a compact drum set for acoustic music on small stages thanks to its small space requirement, its clear, musical sound, and its manageable volume. Drummers who travel a lot will appreciate the low weight of the drums and the fact that the complete set can be easily stowed in a car.

About Gretsch Drums

The Gretsch company was founded in 1883 by Friedrich Gretsch, a German-born immigrant, in Brooklyn/USA and has been owned by Drum Workshop since 2015. In the first decades of its existence, the company specialised in the production of tambourines, drums, and banjos, but from around 1930 it started building guitars. By this time, Gretsch had established itself as a serious manufacturer of drum sets, and in the decades that followed, Gretsch drums were extremely popular, especially among Jazz drummers. Today, Gretsch offers a range of drum sets in all price ranges, starting with the affordable Catalina series and extending to the exclusive American Custom drums - and every series includes traditional features, a characteristic trait of Gretsch Drums.

Your fellow musicians will also love this drum set

Thanks to the classic studio setup, the Gretsch Catalina Club Studio drum set is the perfect kit for drummers of all kinds of genres. The reasons for this are obvious: The kit is easy to tune, looks just great, and delivers the perfect sound for many different musical genres depending on the tuning. The small drum sizes and the associated reduction in volume also enable use in rooms with difficult acoustics, for example in churches. Your bandmates in the rehearsal room will also appreciate a drum set with more moderate volume, as this ensures a more transparent overall sound and gives the instrumentalists and vocals more space.

Premium product for mid-level pricing

I have been blown away by how well made and finished the Catalina Club (Gloss Crimson Burst) is. The sound is warm and vintage and competes with drums at significantly higher price points. It is receiving praise from experienced drumming friends.

The only negative was a small wood chip inside the bass drum but thankfully this was just off the bearing edge so will no affect the seating of the heads or sound. I have just filled it with wood filler and a very light sanding for aesthetic reasons more than anything else.

After 3 years of playing a E-Kit this is my first ever acoustic set and I am in love! I use it for personal recording practice (and hopefully gigging).

Jazzy poppy vintage sound
JoachimHdt 13.03.2018
Je commence avec la couleur, elle est juste WOW;
Le relief du bois, on voit les veines puis le degradé noir vers rouge! Un superbe rouge!
Alors le son: OMG
Pour le prix d'une entrée de gamme; elle sonne vraiment comme une grande! Le technicien expérimenté et difficile dira qu'elle sonne moyen de gamme mais ça se rapproche du pro!

En studio j'ai été bluffé par le son que j'ai obtenu d'elle; le top c'est la grosse caisse: cette petite grosse caisse de 20" à un grave son sans trou, que dis-je: impressionnant! Je viens de faire un trou et j'ai rajouté un kickport, elle sonne différemment; moins "BOOM" mais plus "VOUM"... on s'y fait, finalement c'est toujours bien voir mieux! C'est plus pratique pour les ingé son et ça fait la différence en studio niveau volume (mieux avec trou+kickport pour garder le low FHZ) Après si vous voulez faire du metal avec un son sec, allez chez Mapex ou Tama !

Son point faible c'est la snare drum, utilisé là avec une lampe à l?intérieur pour décorer, effet garanti!

Le floor tom et le tom alto à une sonorité plus orienté jazz/old school mais j'aime beaucoup! Le son légendaire typique de Gretsch pour les petits portefeuilles; SON jazzy-poppy un poil vintage et aussi très bien en rockeuse... SISI!

BREF; elle est vraiment versatile, c'est un coup de coeur,
large palette de tunning etc/ Ma fière batterie les gars!

Tyylikäs ja hyvä soundinen pikkusetti
T-mu 29.11.2018
Hankin tämän setin treenisetiksi kotioloihin. Setti on todella hieno ja näyttävän näköinen. Erittäin laadukas pinnoitus sekä lakka. Näyttää varmasti makealta stage valaistuksessa. Setti soi ihan hyvin hiljaisemmallakin soittotyylillä. Remon laatukalvot kuuluivat pakettiin, ja virittäminen oli todella helppoa. Metalliosat vaikuttivat myös laadukkailta. Lähetys oli pakattu hämmmästyttävän pieneen tilaan, yhteensä kaksi pahvilaatikkoa. Ainut mitä joutui tekemään setille, oli reikä bassorummun kalvoon, jotta bassorummun pedaalin nuija rauhoittui. Mutta bassorummun soundi oli loppupeleissä yllättävän tymäkkä. Virvelin soundi on ihan ok, mutta vireessä saisi pysyä paremmin.
Kaiken kaikkiaan hyvä ja edullinen ostos jota voin suositella lämpimästi kaikille aloitteleville ja miksei jopa ihan pro tason rumpaleillekkin.
