Gretsch 302 hoops capture the classic Gretsch look and voice
The Renown RN2 sees a return to classic Gretsch 302 hoops — the same ones found on the Brooklyn kits today. At 3mm thick, the 302s are every bit as thick 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.
