Gretsch Drums - An Inspirational Timeline

Description

This shell pack includes a 7-ply poplar drum set with a 22x18" kick drum, 10x7" and 12x8" rack toms, 16x14" floor tom and a 14x5.5" snare drum. The 30-degree bearing edges and 1.6 mm triple-flanged hoops provide articulation and durability for any playing style. Available in six eye-catching wrap finishes, the Energy series offers an affordable Gretsch sound for drummers of all skill levels. Start your drumming journey off right with the Gretsch Energy shell pack.
7-Ply Poplar Shells for Warm, Balanced Tone
The Gretsch Energy series features 7-ply poplar drum shells known for producing a warm and balanced tone. The thin 7-ply construction provides enough mass for sustain and projection, while allowing the drums to resonate freely. The result is a tone that blends low-end punch, midrange focus and high-end clarity.
Versatile Sizes for Any Musical Style
With a kick drum, two rack toms, a floor tom and snare drum, this 5-piece Gretsch Energy shell pack provides a versatile range of tones for playing any genre of music. The 22" kick drum provides a solid low-end foundation. The 10" and 12" rack toms cut through with a focused midrange attack. The 16" floor tom bridges the gap with a warmer, richer tone. And the 14" snare drum is crisp and articulate. Together this combination of drums covers the entire tonal spectrum.
30-Degree Bearing Edges for Precise Articulation
Gretsch outfits the Energy series shells with 30-degree bearing edges. The sharp edge helps focus the vibration of the drum head for maximum resonance and sustain. The articulated tone provides sensitivity and dynamic control, allowing drummers to execute intricate rhythmic figures and ghost notes with ease. The 30-degree edge is a hallmark of Gretsch's renowned tone and playability.
Roadworthy Hardware for Gigging and Practice
While the Gretsch Energy shell pack provides professional tone and performance, it is also designed to handle the rigors of touring and practice. The included tom holder mounts securely to the bass drum, keeping your toms stable during aggressive playing. The 1.6 mm triple-flanged steel hoops can withstand heavy-handed rimshots and cross-sticking night after night. And the available durable wrap finishes protect the shell pack from dings, dents, and scratches encountered on the road. The Gretsch Energy series is built to go the distance.

Perfect practice or home set.

I bought this kit and once I put some remo heads on it, and found the tuning that Liked, then they sounded as good as more expensive kits. Honestly, there's not much difference between a $600 to $1200 kits . When you start spending 2k or more on a mit is when you'll notice more of a difference. So if you're looking for decent sounding and economical, then I would recommend this kit over a Pearl or Tama equivalent. The bass drum is 22" x 18" which may be a little big for some bands that record that want a more tamped down sound .
Avoid, Gretsch in name only

Thought this would an upgrade from my first drum set which was a low end no name brand. Not sure why Gretsch would even put their name on this other than a pure cash grab. The 10" mounted tom sounds like a child's drum no matter how I tune. The lug nuts on the floor tom won't even stay tightened after one or two songs. Other than the tom mount and the bass drum hoops this is really low quality set. Avoid and pick something else.
Perfectly good kit

Bought this due to Gretsch reputation, it was on sale and liked the look (grey steel). Sounds great. Be gentle if you're gigging with them. Lugs and such are OK but might not be road worthy. But if they're staying home, you're fine. Replaced the stock heads with Evans.
