My first real kit...

And I love it! Had a cheap starter kit that came right out of box for about six months to a year and after I knew I wanted to continue drumming I moved up to this kit. Have had it for about a year now and its great. The starter heads it comes with are nice but after a year mine have worn out and need to be replaced. The price for this set is a steal, super low compared to some sets which reach high into the mid-thousands. The sound is good and with proper tuning the snare can produce a nice, dry crack just the way I like. The toms ring out a bit too much for my taste but dampeners work great to solve that. The giant kick drum sounds great and with a double pedal you can really make some sound. My set of 4 Zildjian cymbals, one Sabian and two Wuhan China cymbals sound great with the kit (Cymbals all together ended up costing me more then the kit itself!) and don't be fooled by its 4-piece set up. Smaller amount of drums and set up means nothing if you can use them right and this set can put out some serious sound. For anyone looking for a cheap price and a good kit that will last you years, I highly suggest!

Gretsch Club beats

The best part of this drumset is the without a doubt the bass. its depth adds to the power and projection of the mahogany. Unfortunately the toms do not sound as good as they would in maple or birch. The snare is better off a steel shell. If i were buying, i would get the bass and then pick out other drums.

    Ok so I bought this set last week and I absolutely love it! First off, the bass drum is KILLER. It gives off a deep and warm sound that just pleasures the ear. Same with the toms, with proper tuning, these can sound fantastic. Overall, great set without breaking the bank.

    The first thing I noticed about these drums was the craftsmanship that has been put into the drums. When I bought these drums I really liked how the snare sounds, it had a nice pop to it. The second thing that I liked about the drums was the bass drum. This 22x20 bass drum provides a powerful thump,just perfect. The mounted tom and the floor tom were also good. Overall I cant stop practicing with these drums and I've had fun playing with the Gretsch Catalina drum set, great buy for its price. Two thumbs up!

    my friend had this kit, and when i heard it i just had to buy them. the tom stock heads arnt great. i put evans ec2 clears on the toms, and left the snare and bass heads the same. the bass is a CANNON!!!! so deep, so loud. and with the ec2s the toms are also deep. really tighten the snare to get it to work. bottom line. the kit is amazing. they have a very deep and loud sound to them. BUY BUY BUY!!!
