Gretsch breaks conventional drum design with the introduction of the Renown57. Inspired by the great American car companies from the 1950’s, the Renown57 incorporates timeless, iconic car design elements and applies them to drums. The “hood ornament” is the Renown Chevron, an aluminum triangular teardrop painted white with raised beveled chrome edges and embossed chrome Gretsch logo. Each drum has its own sized chevron, scaled to symmetrically fit that specific drum size. Drums are finished in eye-catching Motor City Blue – the traditional color derived from the 1950’s car era. Renown’s contemporary features make this a modern day classic. To further distinguish this drum set design, Gretsch partnered with Gibraltar Hardware to produce a matching throne that will be included FREE with this kit for a limited time.
Renown57 (RN57-E825-MCB) includes standard Renown drums specifications to produce punchy, full tones and rock solid performance. Toms are mounted from the bass drum on a Gretsch ball/socket double tom holder. In addition, the snare drum is equipped with 20 total lugs (ten lugs per side).
Sizes: 18x22, 8x10, 9x12, 16x16, 6.5x14
