Key Features
The Gretsch Renown Maple 22'' 4pc Shell Pack. A kit that sounds great in any genre. Built to tackle the smooth grooves of the 1950's, all the way to the clean studio productions of modern day. Built on a sound that's steeped in musical history.
Featuring Gretsch's renowned 7-ply Gretsch-formula maple shells, you get vibrant, warm tones with every stroke. Combined with the 30-degree bearing edges, the Renown Maple drums deliver fat vintage tones and a deep low-frequency thump. Perfect if you're a vintage tone extraordinaire. Gretsch's 302 hoops offer a lighter weight than die-cast hoops with reduced rigidity, whilst maintaining the clear and focused sound that die-cast hoops offer. Finished with Remo drumheads, you can rely on the Renown Maple to perform with style, right out of the box.
Please note: Snare, cymbals and stands are not included.

The Renown drums feature the classic 7-ply Gretsch-formula maple shells, with 30-degree bearing edges and the same '302' hoops used on the Brooklyn and Broadkaster series drums. The result is a warm, refined sound that can handle any style of music, from classic to modern. Live or in the studio.
The 30-degree vintage has been in use since the 1930's and features a round-over profile that's thicker than the typical bearing edge, giving you greater drumhead contact with the shell. They produce a punchier, rounder tone with more focused resonance. Accompanied by '302' hoops which provide further clarity and focused tone, while being lighter weight than typical die-cast hoops so the drums can resonate more freely.
Gretsch formula shells are a unique combination of North American maple with another, softer maple species. When combined, the woods provide a stunning tonal balance with a beautiful warmth and resonance. The 7-ply construction of the Renown Maple drums further enhances the tone, whilst offering an extremely powerful projection, letting the drums shine through any mix or recording. The high-quality maple shells are complemented by durable chrome hardware, contributing towards shell rigidity and strength without compromising looks or aesthetics.
