No longer available at zZounds
Looking for a good beginner's drum kit? The GEXE825P Energy comes with everything you need to get started -- including complete hardware and a bass pedal.

Gretsch took its ready-to-play GEXE825P Energy drum set and redesigned it to give it more Gretsch features, more Gretsch sound and more Gretsch performance. Energy's shells are 7-ply poplar with 30-degree bearing edges and are equipped with 1.5 mm triple flanged hoops and Remo drum heads.

Appointed mini lugs, tom brackets, tom holders, bass drum mount plates and throw-offs are now distinctively Gretsch. An upgraded bass drum pedal offers a more flexible beater angle adjustment, a two-way beater and smooth, comfortable footboard. The Energy comes with all of the hardware needed to get the aspiring drummer started, including a bass drum pedal, high-hat stand, snare stand and boom cymbal stand. Energy kits also include a set of Sabian SBR cymbals (13-inch hi-hats, 16-inch crash and 20-inch ride.)

Gretsch Energy includes a complete pack of hardware stands and pedals. The redesigned bass drum pedal includes a beater angle adjustment, a redesigned footboard and a dual-sided beater.

Start your journey into drumming headed down the right path with Gretsch Energy.

They sound great, of course I changed the factory heads for remo pinstrips. But, the tones are pitch perfect. Great mid range set for the step above novice. The cymbals that were included are great i figured they would be junk like the heads, not at all. The 13in hats are something to be desired, but if you gave 14in what would i have to replace and purchase soon. lol. Lets see how they weather in time another review in a year or so and let you all know how they last.
