The Renown drums feature the classic 7-ply Gretsch-formula maple shells, with 30-degree bearing edges and the same '302' hoops used on the Brooklyn and Broadkaster series drums. The result is a warm, refined sound that can handle any style of music, from classic to modern. Live or in the studio.

The 30-degree vintage has been in use since the 1930's and features a round-over profile that's thicker than the typical bearing edge, giving you greater drumhead contact with the shell. They produce a punchier, rounder tone with more focused resonance. Accompanied by '302' hoops which provide further clarity and focused tone, while being lighter weight than typical die-cast hoops so the drums can resonate more freely.

Gretsch formula maple shells explained

Gretsch formula shells are a unique combination of North American maple with another, softer maple species. When combined, the woods provide a stunning tonal balance with a beautiful warmth and resonance. The 7-ply construction of the Renown Maple drums further enhances the tone, whilst offering an extremely powerful projection, letting the drums shine through any mix or recording. The high-quality maple shells are complemented by durable chrome hardware, contributing towards shell rigidity and strength without compromising looks or aesthetics.
