Renowned for Looks. Renowned for Tone.

Gretsch resurrects a classic in the Renown RN2 drum series. Back are the celebrated 7-ply maple shells with 30° bearing edges and Gretsch's hallmark Silver Sealer interiors, which look and sound every bit as glorious as they have for the last 15 years. What's new in the RN2 is its USA classic features — 302 hoops and a bass-mounted tom holder — along with some modern touches, including redesigned black round badges. New wrap and finish options make the Gretsch Renown RN2 kits more customizable than ever.

Gretsch 302 hoops capture a classic look and tone

The Renown RN2 series sees a return to Gretsch 302 hoops — the same ones found on today's Gretsch Brooklyn kits. At 3mm thick, the 302s are every bit as stout as the former die-cast hoops. Only they're less rigid for better flex, which offers more of that classic Gretsch goodness. Modern 302s are rounded over too, making them easier on sticks than legacy 302s.

Gretsch Drums: a slice of American music history

Gretsch has been making drums since 1883, and Sweetwater is proud to be part of that 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 Renown drums, you're playing more than a drum kit — you're playing a slice of American music history.

3-piece Gretsch Drums Renown RN2 Shell Pack Features:

  • Shell sizes (depth x diameter): 9" x 13" tom, 16" x 16" floor tom, 14" x 24" bass drum
  • Great for all styles, eras, and applications
  • Classic Gretsch formula 7-ply maple shells are as bold and vivid as ever
  • 30° bearing edges, inside and out, reveal a distinctly Gretsch voice
  • Silver Sealer on shell interiors — a Gretsch hallmark
  • 302 hoops on toms and snare are the same ones found on Brooklyn kits
  • Redesigned round badges
  • Includes bass-mounted double tom holder; other hardware not included
Cymbals and stands not included

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

AMAZING

Couldn't be happier! Gretsch made a high quality kit for a better price than most. Love the 24" kick and the Toms sound so good

Awesome Drums with good value.

Got this for a second kit setup and I wanted the 24x14 kick. Good sounding drums that actually come with nice heads, they look cool and a great value for that mid-level price range.

Quality Kit at a Good Price

I started out a couple of years ago on a Gretsch Energy kit. For an entry level kit it was pretty good once you replaced the heads. I was looking to upgrade my kit and was stuck in-between DW Performance and Gretsch Renown. I ordered the Renown after watching many online reviews (Sweetwater's Included) and being a fan of Connor Denis. Dave Cody at Sweetwater really helped me settle on the kit that was right for me. When it arrived I was not disappointed. Out of the box the toms came with perfectly tuned Remo Emperors which was a HUGE surprise. Speaking of huge... these drums have such a big sound without losing any definition. The kick came with a Remo Powerstroke 3 and excellent hardware all around. There are a lot of options you get with these drums (silver sealer, 302 hoops) that are found on the USA Customs but at half the cost. The finish is gorgeous. The sound is amazing. What can I say, I love these drums and they came in well under what I wanted in a DW kit.
