Gretsch's Do-it-all Shells
The Gretsch Renown series shell pack delivers a tone and playing experience that will have you going back to it for every musical genre and style. Their sound covers the warm tones of the 1950s as easily as it punches with the authority of 1980s rock. Much of the shells' versatility comes from their 7-ply maple construction and 30-degree bearing edge. And Gretsch upgraded the Renown series with its 302 hoops, which exude the same character as die-cast hoops, but with added resonance thanks to their lighter weight.

Extremely versatile
Gretsch knows that working drummers like you need a kit that can handle a wide variety of styles, and that's exactly what the Renown series is crafted for. The design allows a balance of nuance and sensitivity, along with power and punch. Whether you're searching for the mellow tones of a vintage kit, the strong tones that fueled '60s rock 'n' roll, or today's clean and clear studio sound, they're all available from the Gretsch Renown series shells.
Tried-and-true construction
The Gretsch Renown series shells achieve wide-ranging versatility by way of their 7-ply maple shells. Maple delivers a tone that features just the right amount of cut, warmth, and volume, while never being overpowering. The Renown series shells also feature a 30-degree bearing edge. By using a slightly shallower bearing edge, the shells are imparted with a softer attack and a bit more warmth. Gretsch’s 302 hoops emit the same basic character as die-cast hoops, but are lighter and less rigid. This allows the shells to move and breathe with greater freedom. And Gretsch's famous Silver Sealer interior adds a little snap and really makes the Renown series stand out at Sweetwater.
