Great set up! Featuring 3-ply shells made individually using oversized plies of North American maple/poplar/maple, the reintroduced Gretsch Broadkaster calls upon a rich musical lineage of quality materials, craftsmanship and superstar alumni. Each 6.7mm shell includes an interior-ply scarf joint that adds structural integrity to the thin, musical shells.
The Broadkaster was the top-of-the-line kit for Gretsch in the 1930's boasting a vertible who's who of big band and jazz drummers. The Broadkaster shell is hand-finished with a reverse roundover bearing edge on the bass drums and toms.
Toms are outfitted with Gretschs "302" 3mm, double-flanged steel hoops. These hoops are similar to "Stick Chopper" hoops used in the 1950s, but are constructed out of a heavier gauge steel to stand up to todays more aggressive playing styles. The 302 hoop helps to produce a more open tone than a die-cast hoop and adds ambient overtones to the overall tonal characteristic. Drums have silver sealer interiors.
