• 30-degree bearing edges

The vibrant sound of maple

Whether you’re talking drum shells or electric guitars, maple is an amazingly musical tonewood. It has a fast, explosive response that’s also very dynamic, allowing the subtle details of your playing to shine through. And maple has a wide-ranging tone that’s suitable for any musical style and perfect for recording in the studio.

30-degree bearing edges

The Catalina Maple sounds just like you’d expect from a classic Gretsch kit, thanks to 30-degree bearing edges (where the hoop meets the shell). At 30 degrees, the surface area between the hoop and shell is maximized, which optimizes the transfer of vibration. That gives Gretsch drums a fast response, warm tone, and punchy impact, and you’ll hear it in every drum in the Catalina Maple shell pack.

Durable lacquer finish

Finished with a multi-stage lacquer process, the Catalina Maple shell pack is one sweet-looking kit. But as a drummers are well aware, looks aren’t everything – the carefully applied finish is amazingly strong, helping protect your shells from life on the road.
