The legendary maple shells from GRETSCH DRUMS have always been world-famous ("The Gretsch Formula").
The seven-ply maple shells have a GRETSCH-typical 30° bearing edge on which stable 2.3 mm steel tension hoops rest. Slim 2-point "low-profile" tom suspensions and REMO® heads mounted as standard give the drums a fantastic and unmistakable sound character. Catalina Maple sets are available in two different configurations and a total of four finishes.
GRETSCH DRUMS are legendary and innovative at the same time; GRETSCH is responsible for numerous developments that have played and continue to play a significant role in the construction of modern drumsets.
The company's 135-year history began in 1883 in the Brooklyn borough of New York. From here on, GRETSCH advanced to become a pioneer in the development and manufacture of percussion instruments until the 1950s and 1960s. And even today, the hype around "That Great Gretsch Sound" is unbroken, which is clearly reflected in the diversity of users on the world's stages.
