Gretsch USA Custom drums are the epitome of "that great Gretsch sound." Featuring their standard 6 ply maple shells with 30 degree rounded bearing edges, silver sealer, and die cast hoops, these drums stand in a class all on their own. These drums create a well balanced warm tone with an explosive projection ideal for gigs of all sizes. This kit in particular has a little of touch of old school in it as well featuring internal mufflers on the toms and snare, vintage spurs and a vintage rail consolette on the bass drum reminicent of kits from yesteryear. The 18" bass drum, 14" floor tom, 12" rack tom, and 5"x14" snare makes this shell pack configuration ideal for jazz players and/or low volume gigs. The sunset duco lacquer finish and the signature DropG badges also provide a nice aesthetic touch to these beauties.
