« Gretsch Renown Maple »
Published on 02/13/09 at 15:00Have been playing my Renown Maple for about 18 months and gigging regularly 2-3 times a week.
The Blue Burst finish is fantastic. It generally gets commented on along with the drum sound.
Sizes; 22x18, 10x8, 12x10, 14x14, 14x5 snare.
As we play classic rock covers, including a some by The Who and Deep Purple, it takes a pounding. I have yet to have any of the drums go out of tune while playing and that can be up to three hours some nights.
The only change I have made is to use pinstripes on the toms and a heavy reverse dot on the snare which, by the way, has one hell of a crack to it even though I don't generally use rimshots. It's still sensitive enough to cut ghost notes through.
Bought my kit at Sound Attak in Colchester, UK.
Cost £1,350
I got it a a reduced price as it was ex-display.
Why did I buy this kit? Easy, the sound!
The sound! The sound! The sound!
Oh yes, and the build quality.
N/A
Solid as a rock.
I'd recommend this kit to anyone no matter what style of music played.
I don't think it can be betterd for the money or, for that matter, a gret deal more.
