Gretsch Drums - CC2-J484-SWG Catalina Club Satin Walnut Glaze 18"

With the Catalina Club CC2-J484-SWG, you enter a series that has redefined Gretsch's approach to accessible yet sonically demanding drums. The use of mahogany in 7-ply barrels is no mean choice, as it favours a supple bass register and rich midrange. The 30° chamfer improves skin-to-barrel contact, resulting in a clean attack and natural projection.

The 18 "x14" bass drum develops a full, but not excessive, low register, perfectly suited to jazz, soul, blues or concerts in small spaces. The 12 "x8" tom remains legible and balanced, while the 14 "x14" bass tom adds depth without masking the other elements of the kit. The 14 "x5" snare completes the package with a precise, responsive sound.

The 1.6 mm triple-flange hoops on the toms and snare respect the timbre of the drums and let the sound breathe. The wooden hoops on the bass drum add to the traditional feel, while also contributing to acoustic coherence. The Mini GTS system limits unnecessary contact points and promotes resonance.

The 'Gas Cap' bass drum plate and Gretsch T-Wing screws make for easy adjustment and secure installation. Low-profile brackets contribute to a smooth, uncluttered playing experience. The Remo Ambassador heads are fitted as standard, so you can quickly get a usable sound without having to replace them.

The Satin Walnut Glaze finish adds a warm, discreet aesthetic that perfectly matches the vintage spirit of the kit. This is a drum kit designed for musicians who value musicality, dynamics and sonic personality.

The Catalina Club is part of the heritage of a brand founded in Brooklyn in 1883, whose sonic identity continues to influence generations of drummers.
