DISC Gretsch USA Broadkaster 24" 4pc Shell Pack, Black Gold Duco

Full Description

Gretsch Broadkaster

Serving as Gretsch's flagship drum kit from the 1920s through to the 1950s, the Broadkaster line was said to produce what was known as 'that great Gretsch sound'. The current Broadkaster series drums are a superb development of the timeless classic. The same 3-ply shells are used in the same maple-poplar-maple configuration, ensuring the reproduction of an industry-leading sound. The Gretsch Broadkaster drums feature an exclusive reverse roundover bearing edge and the toms utilise Gretsch '302' double-flanged hoops, like those found on the Brooklyn and Renown series drums. The hoops provide a lighter weight than traditional die-cast hoops, with reduced rigidity for a more open sound. Despite the differences, the '302' hoops maintain the glorious, focused sound that die-cast hoops are known for. The Broadkaster drums are also available in a huge range of stunning finish options, allowing you to find the perfect drums to match your taste.

Gretsch Maple/Poplar/Maple Formula

The Gretsch Broadkaster shells feature a classic North American maple/poplar/maple construction, with an interior ply scarf joint for enhanced structural integrity and rigidity. When combined, the maple and poplar plies produce a rich resonance with a distinct tonal clarity and balance. The Broadkaster kit also includes Remo drumheads, offering a full-range tone with incredible definition and sensitivity. The heads employ a smooth design and feel, complementing the satin black gold duco finish of the shells and the overall aesthetic that the Broadkaster drums offer.

Perfect Foundation Setup

The Gretsch USA Broadkaster 4pc Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with add-on drums and holders if you choose. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the Gretsch Broadkaster Shell Pack provides a great experience for drummers of any level, offering the high-quality components and features which more advanced drummers require.
