Traditional meets modern

Gretsch drums have a strong association with jazz legends like Tony Williams, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones. The affordable Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz Drumset, which has a classic bebop configuration, is also deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. 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, the look is very clearly in the Gretsch tradition.

Yellow Gretsch Catalina Club Toms

Small drums - big sound

An 18" x 14" bass drum combined with 12" x 8" and 14" x 14" toms and a 14" x 5.5" wooden snare drum is the setup which has been the standard in Jazz for many decades. Gretsch's typical 30° bearing edge gives the mahogany drums a soft, musical sound, while the free-floating tom mounting system and the 1.6 mm 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. The package also includes a bass drum riser, which allows the beater to hit the exact centre of the head, unlocking the drum's full potential.

Gretsch Drums Catalina Club Jazz Drumkit

There’s a lot more to this than Jazz…

The list of possible uses of the Catalina Club Jazz Drumset is very diverse. The affiliation with Jazz 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 due 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

The Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz Drumset has been a fixture in many Jazz clubs for years. The reasons for this are obvious: The kit is easy to tune, looks like it's straight from the golden era of Jazz, and delivers the perfect sound for this genre of music. 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.

Burner KIT.
Dieses Set sieht wunderschön aus.
Es ist sehr einfach zu stimmen.
Ob hoch oder tief gestimmt, es erwartet dich ein großer Sound. It sings!! Ich liebe dieses kleine Gretsch.. bei dem Preis kann man nur staunen und sein Geld lieber für hochwertige Becken ausgeben, denn dieses Set steht den großen in nichts nach!

Cercavo una batteria che fosse utilizzabile sia in piccoli club che sui palchi e devo dire che questa è stata davvero una scelta azzeccata!
Mi sono fatto influenzare molto dal colore per la sua ovvia presenza scenica ed una volta provata anche il suono è stato molto soddisfacente, ad eccezione del rullante. La cassa, il tom ed il floor tom hanno davvero un ottimo suono, sia con pelli sabbiate che clear. Il rullante invece, nonostante abbia provato pelli sabbiate e pelli clear idrauliche, non ha dato nessun cenno di miglioramento nel suono, anche cambiando la cordiera e la pelle risonante. Credo che la colpa sia dovuta al numero di tiranti, che purtroppo sono solo 8, e dallo spessore del fusto. Non ha davvero presenza ed impatto sonoro. Suona come uno scatolo di cartone.
La utilizzo principalmente per fare rockabilly, ma l'ho utilizzata anche in contesti jazz e ( con le oppurtune pelli) anche con il rock.
Tirando le somme:
PRO
Ottima batteria per la sua fascia di prezzo, di pregio sono tutti i fusti e le rifiniture su di essi.

CONTRO
Il rullante ha davvero poca presenza sonora, almeno per quel che cerco io.
