Gretsch Catalina Club ‘Be-Bop’ Shell-Pack, Blue Satin Flame

Gretsch Catalina Club drum kits come in a variety of imaginative shell-pack variations, blending traditional configurations and “that great Gretsch sound” with sleek, contemporary hardware innovations. These Gretsch Catalina 4-piece configurations are all built around the foundation of the beloved 14” deep Bass Drum, giving each of these setups a warm and punchy Vintage tone. Forget those awful ‘power-size’ Bass Drums of the 1980s/90s, this is a long overdue return to the classic sizes that satisfied the likes of Paice, Bonham, Baker & Mitchell.

All Gretsch Catalina Club Mahogany drum shells are still finished with the same 30-degree bearing edge that made Gretsch drums an individual competitor in the classic American drum market. Catalina Club shell hardware compliments the drums with its distinctive Gretsch styling and whilst being modern, not forgetting to pay homage to the company’s rich heritage.

The Gretsch Catalina Club ‘Be-Bop’ shell-pack is an ideal set of shells at a modest price point for anyone wanting to experience the feel of a traditional drum set-up from the golden age of Jazz. What’s more, the Catalina’s light shells and compact sizes make the ‘Be-Bop’ configuration perfect for rehearsals, low volume scenarios and small stages.

What’s in the Box?

The ‘Be-Bop’ shell-pack comes with the following components:

  • 1 x 12″ x 8″ Rack Tom
  • 1 x 14″ x 14″ Floor Tom
  • 1 x 18″ x 14″ Bass Drum
  • 1 x 14″ x 5.5″ Snare Drum

If you don’t need or want the Catalina’s Snare Drum, we also offer the option to buy this outfit without the Snare. You may even have another Snare Drum lined up to go with this kit!

Even at their low price point, Catalina Club drum kits ooze Gretsch quality with perfectly round shells and smooth bearing edges.  These beautifully manufactured outfits all have the following collective features:

  • Thin vintage-style Mahogany shells (no glue-rings)
  • Warm, round, classic tone
  • Classic Gretsch 30 degree bearing edges
  • Retro style Gretsch shell hardware
  • Round ‘Gas Cap’ Bass Drum mount
  • Ultra-low-profile GTS mounting system
  • Low-mass, low-profile 2-point Tom suspension mount
  • Telescopic Bass Drum spurs
  • Matching wood Bass Drum hoops

Sick and tired of the predictable more-of-the-same drum kits from the other drum manufacturers? Then we highly recommend making Gretsch your innovative choice against the trap of running with the pack.

Remember folks, there are no stands or pedals included with any of these Gretsch Catalina Club shell packs!
