Classic Vibe, Explosive Maple Tone

The Gretsch Catalina Maple 5-piece shell pack sports maple shells for explosive sound and balanced, wide-ranging tone. The fast response and vibrant sound make this an exceptional kit for any style and a great setup for recording studios. You get two rack toms and one floor tom, a 5.5" x 14" snare, and a 16" x 20" kick drum. Catalina Maple features 7-ply shells with 30-degree bearing edges, which give you that lively round tone Gretsch drums are known for. No matter what you play, you'll groove on the Gretsch Catalina Maple 6-piece shell pack.

Gretsch Catalina Maple 5-piece Shell Pack at a Glance:
  • The vibrant sound of maple
  • 30-degree bearing edges
  • Durable lacquer finish
The vibrant sound of maple

Whether you're talking drum shells or electric guitars, maple is an amazingly musical tonewood. It has a fast, explosive response that's also very dynamic, allowing the subtle details of your playing to shine through. And maple has a wide-ranging tone that's suitable for any musical style and perfect for recording in the studio.

30-degree bearing edges

The Catalina Maple sounds just like you'd expect from a classic Gretsch kit, thanks to 30-degree bearing edges (where the hoop meets the shell). At 30 degrees, the surface area between the hoop and shell is maximized, which optimizes the transfer of vibration. That gives Gretsch drums a fast response, warm tone, and punchy impact, and you'll hear it in every drum in the Catalina Maple shell pack.

Durable lacquer finish

Finished with a multi-stage lacquer process, the Catalina Maple shell pack is one sweet-looking kit. But as Sweetwater drummers are well aware, looks aren't everything - the carefully applied finish is amazingly strong, helping protect your shells from life on the road.

Perfect Kit

Have the kit and love it. IMO, just as good as my Ludwig Classic maple kit I sold 5 years ago. Although the Gretsch heads(REMO)sounded great, I put REMO Emperor heads on the 10, 12 and 14 toms, now this kit rocks. Also put REMO PS 3 on the 20 inch bass. I now have maximum thumpification.
Rated 5/5

Amazing Look. Amazing Sound!!

I wasn't really in the market for a new kit but when I saw this Gretsch drum set with Cherry Burst Satin finish, I knew I had to have it. I've been playing a 7 piece Yamaha Oak Custom for the past 10 years and it still sounds great but I love the attack of Maple and found myself thinking about this kit everyday for over a week. Finally I decided to pull the trigger and get it. The financing makes it super affordable and it looks fantastic right out of the box. I will be playing it live next weekend and I can't wait.

Drums

The drums sound great ,shipping was fast .i will definitely use you guys again
Rated 4.5/5

Great kit

This is a great kit for the price. The satin burst is beautiful without being conspicuous. I think the kick is a little lacking in bottom end. I've heard 20" kicks with much more bottom. This happens to work well for my situation as it adds lots of thump without fighting for EQ space with the bass player. In the balance it sounds amazing. These toms are easy to tune and sing out well. The snare isn't my favorite - too much snare buzz that I can't dial out - but most people use a particular snare anyway.

It sounds like it looks: A warm, rounded tone that is inconspicuously beautiful.
Rated 4/5

Great Set!!

This set sounds absolutely amazing for such a price. The 20in kick has true kick :-P! The drums is superior to my Pearl export in every way. The satin finish is just plain beautiful. The only thing wrong is the GTS tom mount. It does not lock in to the bass drum and the memory lock does not keep it from slipping. When you turn the toms the mount sinks. Other than that this is an amazing set.
