Gretsch Drums - CC2-J484-PB Catalina Club Piano Black 18"

With the Catalina Club CC2-J484-PB kit, you're choosing a drum kit designed for nuanced playing and everyday comfort. The 7-ply mahogany drums produce a round sound with a strong mid-range and supple bass. The 30° chamfer improves contact between the skin and the barrel, making tuning easier and stabilising the timbre.

The 18 "x14" bass drum offers precision and rapid response, ideal for jazz, soul, blues or acoustic ensembles. The 12 "x8" tom remains clear and balanced, even at low volume. The 14 "x14" bass tom provides natural sustain without excessive projection. The 14 "x5" snare drum is sensitive, with a clean attack and good harmonic control.

The 1.6 mm triple-flange hoops respect the natural vibration of the drums and make the settings stable over time. The wooden hoops on the bass drum reinforce the low end while maintaining an aesthetic faithful to the Gretsch spirit. The Mini GTS suspension system limits contact points and lets the drum breathe fully.

The 'Gas Cap' bass drum plate and Gretsch T-Wing tie rods simplify adjustments, even during quick changes. Low-profile brackets hold everything together without stiffening the feel. The original Remo Ambassador heads give you an immediate sound base.

The Piano Black finish enhances the lines of the kit and stands the test of time. This is an instrument that's just as suited to studio work as it is to live performance. This model is part of the history of a manufacturer born in Brooklyn in 1883, renowned for having shaped a large part of the sound language of modern drums.
