If you're just getting started in drumming, the Gretsch Energy 5-piece drum kit is a great in vestment in your musical future. This kit gives you everything you require to start playing (except a throne). In addition to a kick drum, snare, and three toms, his very complete kit includes Sabian SBR cymbals - 13" high-hats, a 16" crash and a 20" ride - plus all the hardware you'll need to set up.

Energy drums sound just like you'd expect from Gretsch, 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 Gretsch Energy kit.

Gretsch has been making drums since 1883, and Sweetwater is proud to be part of this grand tradition. Alongside drums, the company's banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, and guitars have contributed to the very roots of American music. So when you play your Gretsch Energy drums, you're playing more than a drum kit - you're playing a slice of American music history.
