Gretsch Renown 22 5pc Shell Pack - Piano Black
Please note this product is the shells only. No hardware or cymbals included. Today’s working drummers need a kit that can do it all—and do it well. Gretsch Renown is one of the most versatile drum sets ever made. Now, with one drum set, you can play with the sensitivity and touch to handle the smoothest grooves of the 1950s; the attack and projection required to drive the most powerful compositions of the 60s and 70s; and the clarity and vibrance needed to faithfully reproduce the clean studio sounds of the 80s, 90s and beyond. Renown still features the classic 7-ply Gretsch formula maple shells, with 30-degree bearing edges and exclusive “Silver Sealer” interiors. But this Renown comes with a new twist with the addition of the Gretsch's player-friendly “302” hoop—the same hoop used on Gretsch's Brooklyn and Broadkaster series drums. Gretsch 302 hoops produce the desirable focused sound like that of a die cast hoop, but are lighter in weight and less rigid, allowing the drum to better “breath” and achieve maximum resonance. The 2016 Renown delivers the traditional Gretsch sound with an incredible open, harmonic tone that supplies the versatility needed to meet the demands of the hardest working drummers. FEATURES Shell Material: 7-ply Gretsch Formula Maple Bearing Edges: 30 degrees Hoops: Snare Hoops: ‘302’ Hoops Tom Hoops: ‘302’ Hoops Bass: Maple with matching lacquer or inlay Hardware: Low profile GTS tom suspension system Low-profile tom and floor tom leg brackets Single cymbal mount and 12.7mm L-Arms Gretsch T-Wing nut/bolt REMO® Drumheads: Snare: Coated USA Ambassador Batter, Gretsch by Remo Resonant Toms: Clear Emperor Batter, Gretsch by Remo Resonant Bass: USA Clear Powerstroke Batter, Coated white Gretsch head with muffle ring resonant This shell pack includes: BASS DRUM: 18" x 22" FLOOR TOM: 14" x 16" TOM 2: 8" x 12" TOM 1: 7" x 10" SNARE DRUM: 5.5" x 14" Learn MoreRRP $4,299

Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch 22″ 4-Pce Drum Kit Shell Pack - Lacquer Phantasm Oyster
TAMA have calculated the perfect ratio of walnut to birch that produces a heightened low and mid frequency roundness that complements the clear attack and high end snap of birch. A familiar, but uniquely different tone from Tama sounds of the past. The Starclassic series is a statement of TAMA's passion for building high-quality drums, and their wisdom and pursuit to deliver refined and unmistakable sounds. Starclassic Walnut/Birch defines TAMA's commitment to evolving the drum sounds of tomorrow and inspiring the contemporary drummer. Bearing Edges - TAMA has worked extensively to design the most functional shape for the drum head and edge. This traditional TAMA design ultimately results in a tighter fit between the drum head and bearing edge, which optimizes the resonance of the drums – a crucial part of providing the signature TAMA sound. Star-Cast Mounting System – Providing maximum resonance and stability, TAMA’s Star-Cast mounting system is a straight-forward design that allows you to position your toms exactly as you need them for total playing ease and comfort. These mounts are made from aluminium to reduce weight and maximize tonal vibrations, and they’re even plated to match your drum’s shell hardware! Quick-Lock Tom Brackets – The cutting-edge Quick-Lock tom brackets enable fast and simple setup and pack down, and the integrated “memory lock” switch allows you to find the perfect positions of your drums and save the ‘settings’ to eliminate the hassle of perfecting your setup every time. These brackets have the added benefit of reducing vibrations transferring into tom legs and hardware. Swivel-Wing Tom Holder – This tom holder features TAMA’s omni-ball system for allowing unparalleled adjustment of the tom position. Air Cushioned Floor Tom Legs – The Starclassic’s Air Pocket™ floor tom legs use a special air chamber at the foot which eliminates vibrations transferring into the floor, and absorbs shock to improve playing performance. Die-Cast Hoops - Starclassic drums feature die-cast hoops, which is more dense and consistent in shape than triple flanged hoops. The tension bolts always contact the hoop properly, which results in sharper attack, a clear and resonant tone and incredibly powerful rim shots. Included: 22 x 16” Kick Drum 16 x 14” Floor Tom 12 x 9” Tom Tom 10 x 8” Tom Tom MTH1000 Double Tom Holder Learn MoreRRP $4,299

Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple Drum Kit Euro 5pce Shell Pack Orange Glitter Sparkle (WITH SNARE)
Absolute Hybrid Maple The answer to the question is drums that give you the sound you need, whenever you need it.Tonal requirements vary among drummers, differ with dynamics, and change, from band to band, song to song, moment to moment. With the Absolute Hybrid Series drums, Yamaha has succeeded in addressing this, with a drum set that possesses an extraordinary degree of expressive power, allowing drummers to pursue a level of expression that perhaps they've not experience before in their other drums. These drums offer a wide dynamic range that allows them to respond accurately to each and every stroke, and follow changes in dynamics, nuance, and touch, letting you play what you want to play. Hybrid Maple Shell (center Wenge ply) Hook Lug YESS III Mount System Vent Hole Optimized Bearing Edge Shape Inner Vintage Finish Hybrid Maple Shell The new Absolute Hybrid Series inherits the hybrid shell technology found on our flagship PHX Series. On Absolute Hybrid shells, the design consists of a core ply of wenge a very hard and heavy wood native to Africa, sandwiched between plies of maple, well known for its clear tone. This hybrid design delivers a drum tone that plays rich and clear across the full dynamic range, from pianissimo to fortissimo. Hook Lug Hook lugs offer quick and easy head replacement, precision tuning, and can readily handle high-tension tuning. Lug bases are designed with a small footprint to maximize tone output from the hybrid shell. YESS III An evolutionary step up from our YESS IIm tom mount, the YESS III reduces acoustic dampening even further. Allowing the shell to vibrate more freely, the YESS III mount brings out more of the shell’s natural sustain and volume. Low-Mass Tom Holder Base The tom holder’s light weight and small footprint allows the bass drum shell to vibrate more freely. Optimized Bearing Edge The bearing edge angle on the bass drum differs from the angle used on the tom and snare shells to optimize tonal balance in the drum set. A 45º/R1.5 edge is used on the snare and toms to a balanced tone; while a 30º/ R1.5 edge on the bass drum shell brings out more low-end tone for a deeper, more powerful sound. Vent Hole The vent hole plays an important role in performance, since it affects not only the sensation of hitting the drum (the impact) but also the initial sound, sustain and tone. Through an exhaustive series of prototypes, YAMAHA has discovered the optimal number and vent hole position depending on the air capacity of each shell. Particularly, vent holes contribute to the enhancement of tone colors in midrange to low-frequency sounds, as well as the control of sustain. Vintage finish interior Shell interiors are coated with our exclusive "Vintage Natural" finish for enhanced tone and refined looks. 3.0mm Aluminum Die-Cast Hoops Aluminum die-cast hoops deliver a strong tight sound with an extraordinary attack and decay.
