We have this stunning 2021 limited run from Gretsch in our shop today. This is a killer set for anyone looking tune lower and muffle for an older fat sound, or crank the tuning a bit more for a bebop setting. All of that being aided by the Evans Calftone batter heads that will ship with the kit. While pictured on a tom stand, the original mounting hardware will included in case you'd like to suspend off a cymbal stand.
Used: Excellent condition - little to no signs of wear, even around the typical trouble spots like rack tom and kick hoop.
From the manufacturer: As a tribute to the booming American automobile industry of the 1950s,Gretsch Renown 57 drum kits are decked out in a selection of gorgeous classic car colors that defined the era. On top of that, they feature an eye-catching, vintage chevron logo that will transport you back to the days of sock hops, soda fountains, and the birth of rock ’n’ roll. Likeall Gretsch Renown series drums, the Renown 57 kit boasts 7-ply maple shells with 30° bearing edges for a warm, balanced tone that is appropriate for a variety of styles and genres.
Extremely versatile
Gretsch knows that working drummers like you need a kit that can handle an array of styles, and that's exactly what the Renown Series is craftedfor. The design allows a balance of nuance and sensitivity along with a healthy dose of power and punch. Whether you're searching for the mellowtones of a vintage kit, the strong beats that fueled '50s and '60s rock'n' roll, or today's clean and clear studio sound, you'll access them all with Gretsch Renown Series shells.
Tried-and-true construction
Gretsch Renown Series shells achieve wide-ranging versatility by way of their7-ply maple shells. Maple delivers a tone that features just the right amount of cut, warmth, and volume, while never sounding overpowering.The Renown Series shells also feature a 30° bearing edge. By using a slightly shallower bearing edge, the shells are imparted with a softerattack and a bit more warmth. Also, Gretsch's famous Silver Sealer interior adds some snap that makes the Renown Series stand out evenmore.
Featuring Gretsch's 302 hoops
While the Gretsch Renown Series shells remain true to their original design,their hoops are even better. You'll find these drum shells ring with added resonance and power, thanks to their 302 hoops. These hoops emit the same basic character as die-cast hoops, but they are lighter and less rigid. This allows the shells to move and breathe with more freedom. You'll love how clearly you hear the "Great Gretsch Sound" withmore of an open and organic tone than ever before.
