Gretsch 24″ USA Brooklyn 3-Piece Shell Pack – Grey Oyster

Description

The Gretsch 24″ USA Brooklyn 3-Piece Shell Pack – Grey Oyster is the big-voice Brooklyn setup, built around a 24″ x 14″ bass drum that moves serious air without the sluggish feel of an extra-deep shell. The 13″ rack tom and 16″ floor tom sit naturally beside it, giving the kit a broad, muscular tuning spread. It is a commanding configuration for players who want vintage proportions with enough attack to cut through a modern band. 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.
