Gretsch Drums - CC2-J484-BS Catalina Club Bronze Sparkle 18"

With this Catalina Club CC2-J484-BS drum kit, you're moving towards a drum kit designed for expressive playing and demanding musical contexts. The 7-ply mahogany drums generate a rich sound base, with supple lows and well-defined mids. The 30° chamfer improves the vibration of the skin, making tuning more intuitive and stable.

The 18 "x14" bass drum is quick to respond and easy to read, even at low volume. The 12 "x8" tom maintains balanced projection without losing precision. The 14 "x14" bass tom provides controlled depth, ideal for supporting the groove without weighing it down. The 14 "x5" snare drum reacts finely to nuances and can be used in very wide dynamics.

The 1.6 mm triple-flange hoops let the body breathe and respect the natural character of mahogany. The wood hoops on the bass drum reinforce the lower end of the spectrum while retaining an organic feel. The Mini GTS suspension system limits mechanical stress and enhances the resonance of the toms.

The 'Gas Cap' bass drum mounting plate and Gretsch T-Wing tie rods make for easy adjustment, even in live situations. Low-profile brackets hold the drums in place without stiffening the response under the sticks. The Remo Ambassador skins fitted as standard provide a reliable foundation for exploiting the kit's potential straight away.

The Bronze Sparkle finish recalls the vintage aesthetic while asserting a modern identity on stage. This 18" format is equally suited to jazz, blues, soul and pop projects. You're playing a Gretsch drum kit, born in Brooklyn in 1883, a brand whose history has profoundly influenced the construction and sound of modern drums.
