Secure Mounting Hardware

The ball/socket 12.7mm L-arms for your rack toms offer a lot of room for positioning each tom and provide a secure hold for increased stability. Keeping your kick drum hoops looking nice are rubber isolators for the die-cast bass drum claws. All drums feature an attractive black/gold Catalina Maple round badge.

A Bigger Kit Boasts a More Dynamic Sound

This opens the door for playing in a greater number of genres and styles. If you're interested in getting a little weird, try putting one of the extra floor toms by the hi-hat and see what interesting fills this orientation can lay at your feet.

"A work of art!"

Overall:

(see rating details)

Just received my Gretsch 7 piece Catalina drum kit today. After much pondering with color choices, I settled for the silver sparkle (new for 2017). Not one shred of disappointment, with not only color selection, but the overall quality of Gretsch drums. I've always wanted and old school kit and finally decided on these bad boys. They are simply a thing of beauty! The sound of the 7 ply maple shells really stand out, are quite versatile and easy to tune. No short cuts taken with this kit, it's very well made with much detail and the hardware is top notch. I'm totally ecstatic with my choice and would highly recommend this product to anyone! Time to earn my badge. Thank you zZounds for helping to make this purchase a most pleasant experience! A top shelf company! I look forward to doing business again with you in the future.
