Featuring Mahogany shells and 30-degree bearing edges, this set projects a warm, round, classic tone. What We Think We can easily recommend this new Gretsch Catalina Club kit to any drummer looking for an affordable be-bop or low volume jobbing kit. They look good and sound good. If you turn your back you won’t be able to tell the difference between it and a much higher priced kit. The fact that these drums are so reasonably priced makes them impossible to ignore. The rounder bearing edges increase the size of the contact area between head and shell, and transmit more vibration to the shell, increasing the drum’s resonance. Mahogany is known for its warm rich tone, and these drums have those characteristics in spades, but without sounding muddy. They don't lack brightness and attack though. As for the snare, tuned low, it sounded like a much larger drum, with a tubby tone that would work great on a ballad. As the pitch is raised, the crispness increases. Up high, the drum has good sensitivity. Overall, the snare has good rimshots, crispness, and a woody tone. The toms have a nice full sound with good sustain. There is a pronounced pitch to each.
