Gretsch renown maple rock set

Frusciantefan · 8th February 2012

Your thoughts on the GRETSCH RENOWN MAPLE ROCK SET (24"x16" Bass Drum (w/o Tom Tom Holder), 13"x09" Tom Toms, 16"x16" Floor Tom) - thinking about getting a new kit for approximately 1500 dollars (without hardware) - want good drums for recording and also live gigs - is this a good choice for rock, alternative music?

I have a Gretsch Renown kit and I love it. Super versatile. I have a 22 kick 10,12,14,16 toms and later on I added a 24 kick, 13" tom, and a 18 floor Tom. Currently playing 24,12,16,18 love the huge sound. I don't think you'll go wrong. Should fit your style of music great.

When I play sessions if it's a big enough project I'll set up 2 kits 22,10,12,14 and 24,13,16,18
If i only need one kit I'll bring both kick drums 10,12,13,16,18 toms. If you have a good drummer,and they're tuned good they sound great on tape.

Keep in mind toms 13" and smaller only have 5 lugs therefore equal tuning of the heads can be tricky
