GRETSCH USA
GRETSCH USA – BROOKLYN SERIES THREE PIECE COCKTAIL KIT NATURAL SATIN FINISH
Gretsch drums were born in Brooklyn, New York in 1883. They were proudly crafted in the vibrant city for the better part of the 20th Century. Brooklyn and Gretsch share an inseparable history that is part of American music history and folklore…it is also a huge part of our contemporary music soundscape.
It is a shared legacy that cannot be duplicated. Today, Brooklyn represents a renaissance community that vibrates with contemporary artistic expression, youthful innovation and passionate musical commitment. Gretsch Brooklyn series celebrates the rejuvenated Brooklyn city passion and spirit and expands on its distinctive shared American experience.
Proudly hand crafted in Ridgeland, South Carolina, USA, by a team of highly experienced and passionate, veteran drum builders, this Gretsch Brooklyn kit has a sound that is at once recognisable and essential, yet fresh and new.
The Gretsch drum design team molded the Brooklyn series by combining classic Gretsch elements and infusing them with modern attributes. Expanding upon traditional Gretsch drum designs, they have created and shaped sounds that pay homage and respect to the fundamentals that have made Gretsch one of the world’s great drum brands.
With the addition of subtle embellishments and the use of modern technology, Gretsch have created a fresh voice that is simply ‘now’.
The Brooklyn 3-piece Cocktail Kit was first released at 2012 NAMM Show and quickly sold out. Cocktail or “stand-up” drum kits are a part of Gretsch Drums’ proud history and the USA hand crafted Brooklyn kit bought the concept to the modern age.
The Main drum measures 14″ x 24″ with a wooden bass drum hoop on the bottom and a Brooklyn 10-lug hoop on the top. The 6 lug 10″ x 6″ snare drum has a lightning throw-off. Tuned up, it sounds amazing. The 8″ x 6″ small tom features a 5 lug hoop.
The set ships with professional quality Gibraltar hardware that includes G9025 Brackets, G9013 Legs, Gibraltar Ultra Adjust brackets for Snare and Tom Holders, Gibraltar X-Hat plus a Support Bar and Clamp for a Bass Drum Pedal. Please note the Hi-Hat cymbals and Bass Drum pedal are not included. We carry large range of cymbals and pedals to suit all tastes and budgets – email or ring us with your preference and budget – we can help.
