The Gretsch Renown Series is a newly designed range of drum kits from Gretsch, designed to provide drummers of any level with a versatile and high-quality foundation which they can expand to create the perfect setup. Whatever you aim to reproduce, from the smooth grooves of the 1950s, all the way up to the cleanest studio sounds of the 1990s and beyond, the Gretsch Renown Series ensures consistent high-end results, in the studio or on stage. The Renown drums feature the classic 7-ply maple shells that Gretsch are renowned for, with 30-degree bearing edges and the same '302’ hoops used on the Brooklyn and Broadkaster series drums. The Renown drums are also available in a range of stunning finish options, allowing you to find the perfect drums to match your taste. Renown drums are available in a range of classic kit configurations, with add-on toms and snares also available for simple expansion of your setup. With an extremely adaptable tone and classic Gretsch design, the Renown series has been designed with the everyday drummer in mind, providing all of the essential components to meet the demands of modern-day drumming.
The Gretsch Maple 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 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. With a stunning vintage pearl finish to complete the look, the Gretsch Renown drums outperform many others in the price range.
The Gretsch Renown 4-piece Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with add-on drums and holders if you choose. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the Gretsch Renown Shell Pack offers a great learning experience for intermediate drummers, whilst offering the high-quality components and features which more advanced drummers require.
The newly designed Gretsch Renown is one of the most versatile drum sets ever made. Now, with one drum set, you can play with the sensitivity and touch to handle the smoothest grooves of the 1950s; the attack and projection required to drive the most powerful compositions of the 60s and 70s; and the clarity and vibrancy needed to faithfully reproduce the clean studio sounds of the 80s, 90s and beyond.
