Gretsch Renown57 in Motor City Black (RN57-E825-MCO)

Motor City Black adds a new color dimension to Gretsch’s innovative and popular Renown57 drum set. Inspired by the great American car companies from the 1950’s, the Renown57 incorporates timeless, iconic car design elements into each drum. 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.

Renown’s contemporary features make this a modern day classic. The Renown57 (RN57-E825-MCO) features North American rock maple shells and standard Renown specifications to produce punchy and full tones. Gretsch’s ball/socket double tom holder securely mounts toms to the bass drum. For a limited time, this kit includes a FREE matching Motor City Black throne from Gibraltar Hardware.
