Made from 6-ply Maple/Poplar shells, the 3 piece Gretsch Brooklyn shell pack produces the recognisable Gretsch sound with a reinvented and unique tonal profile. The Brooklyn series produces a powerfully warm sound, with the Maple/Poplar offering a full and open tone. Contact from the characteristic 30-degree bearing edge provides just the right amount of sustain control, rounding out the woods characteristics. The drum hoops provide the tone with personality and ambience, giving the drums recognition with a twist. The Brooklyn drums feature Gretsch Permatone heads, produced by Remo, that produce a punchy tone with a bright attack, controlled sustain, and a full resonance straight from the box.
With the Maple/Poplar tone so vital in the Brooklyn's tone, Gretsch has created hardware that support and moulds rather than interfere. Straight-sided GTS with a G59025 bracket allows the wood to resonate and flow whilst supporting its positioning. Double-flanged, 3mm 302 Steel Gretsch hoops provide level contact with the head and bearing edge, letting the head resonate according to the wood and producing the rounded sustain recording engineers and players love. A 'Silver Sealer' is also applied inside every drum, sealing the wood together and bonding their tonal properties together. Understanding the hardware on a drum is the secret to a great sound, something Gretsch are ever-perfecting.
The Gretsch USA Brooklyn 20'' 3pc Shell Pack Deep Marine Black Pearl offers a foundation for your perfect kit, letting you choose hardware, cymbals and snares of your choice. Great for drummers of every level, the USA Brooklyns high-level components and tonal attributes can be added to - when and what is up to you!
