Gretsch 20″ USA Brooklyn 3-Piece Shell Pack – Antique Pearl

Description

The Gretsch 20″ USA Brooklyn 3-Piece Shell Pack – Antique Pearl sits in a sweet spot between compact response and full-band weight. The 20″ x 14″ bass drum stays quick and controlled, with more body than an 18″ without the spread of a larger kick. Pairing 12″ and 14″ toms keeps the kit nimble, tuneful and easy to position on a studio floor or busy stage. Six-ply North American maple/poplar shells and traditional 30-degree bearing edges give Brooklyn drums their warm fundamental, punchy attack and slightly more open decay. Gretsch 302 hoops are 3 mm thick and double-flanged, so the toms breathe freely while keeping a solid feel under the stick.

Shell Pack Configuration:

Sound, Tuning and Gigging:
