Gretsch Catalina Ash Drum Set Review
Some of baseball’s biggest hitters carry bats to the plate cut from hardened Northern Ash. They’ll tell you they are the hardest, strongest, liveliest, most durable bats to be found. Perhaps the drum makers at Gretsch are baseball fans, since they choose Northern Ash exclusively in manufacturing their Gretsch Catalina Ash Series Drum Set. Sure enough, the trademark sound of these ash drums is bright and powerful, with each shell in the 5-piece set offering excellent projection while maintaining good tone quality. The designers gave each one enough plies to give the shell the powerful sound they were looking for. The toms feature 6-ply, the bass drum boasts 7 plies, and the snare is a full 9 plies, for incredible snap and percussive resonance. Powerful Percussion
There’s more to these than the wood, however. Durable and sturdy 2.5mm triple-flanged hoops allow for quality sustain and sound integrity, while pro-grade tom mounts, die-cast drum claws, the Gretsch’s GTS tom suspension let’s toms vibrate to the max without hindrance.
Conclusion
This set is ideal for musical styles that need volume and projection, such as metal, power pop, punk, and rock. Drummers appreciate that they do not have to overplay this set to get the sound they want. The Gretsch Catalina Ash Series Drum Set offers hobby drummers and local giggers good quality at a very reasonable price, so entry-level drummers or those looking for a good practice set to back up their touring set might take a look. New sets run $619 to $679, and used kits in good condition can be found for under $450.
