Gretsch Drums Catalina Maple 6-Piece Shell Pack With Free 8″ Tom Deep Cherry Burst

The Gretsch Drums Catalina Maple 6-Piece Shell Pack with Free 8″ Tom in Walnut Glaze is engineered for maximum projection and balanced tone across the full sonic spectrum. Gretsch crafted the shell pack’s rounded-shoulder, 7-ply maple shells and 30° bearing edges to produce an explosive attack with ample low end. The set’s streamlined yet robust mounting hardware, including GTS suspension mounts, minimal L-arms and “gas cap” bass drum plate, provides stability and ergonomic positioning for drummers of all styles. With add-on drums available for expanded configurations, the Catalina Maple set offers professional-caliber sound and build quality for drummers ready to take their playing to the next level.

Premium Maple Shells Deliver Wide-Ranging Tone

At the heart of the Catalina Maple’s superb sound are Gretsch’s proprietary 7-ply maple shells. Gretsch engineers developed the shell recipe and construction to achieve maximum volume and projection while also producing full, warm bass frequencies. The shells’ rounded shoulders and 30° bearing edges further enhance resonance and tonal balance across the drum set. The result is a versatile set able to handle any musical situation, from rock to country to jazz.

Innovative Hardware Provides Solid Support

Gretsch designed the Catalina Maple series’ hardware for functionality, adjustability and minimal esthetic. The suspension-style GTS tom mounts and minimal L-arms provide drummers an unimpeded view of the shell interiors while keeping drums securely in position. The “gas cap” bass drum plate attaches to kick drums via a single bolt for quick head changes. Gretsch’s round die-cast bass drum claws grip hoops firmly while preventing damage. All fittings use Gretsch’s T-Wing screws and bolts for convenient hand tightening and rubber gaskets reduce metal-on-metal contact.

Add-On Drums Allow for Custom Configurations

While the Catalina Maple 6-piece shell pack includes essential drums for a complete setup, Gretsch offers add-on drums to suit any player’s needs. Additional rack toms, floor toms and snare drums are available to expand the shell pack into larger configurations. With a choice of lacquer and wrap finishes to match the shell pack, drummers can customize the Catalina Maple series to their precise specifications and playing style.

Premium Drum Heads and Badges Complete the Package

Gretsch outfits the Catalina Maple series with quality Remo drumheads, including coated batters on toms and snare and clear bass drum batters. The bass drum heads also feature internal muffle rings for controlled resonance. Distinctive round badges on each drum proudly display the Gretsch name. Combined with the shell pack’s high-gloss lacquer or sparkle wrap finishes, the Remo heads and badges give the Catalina Maple a professional appearance on stage and in the studio.
