A sound for the ages
The Gretsch Catalina Birch embodies the same 'great Gretsch sound' that has become the go-to sound for so many esteemed drummers throughout history. Max Roach, Art Blakey, Phil Collins, Taylor Hawkins — the list goes on. Now you can take to the stage and become part of that family of greats, with the Gretsch Catalina Birch 22'' 5pc Shell Pack.
Professional ready — reasonably priced
The Gretsch Catalina Birch 22'' 5pc Shell Pack features a birch shell that provides a balance of rich, low frequency tone and high-frequency brightness. It's ideal for studio and stage use. That classic sound is enhanced by vintage 30-degree bearing edges. This bearing edge has been in use since the 1930's and features a round-over profile that's thicker than the typical bearing edge, giving you greater drumhead contact with the shell. The result - a punchier, rounder tone with more focused resonance.
