Gretsch/Gibraltar endorser, Richard Danielson has been keeping up with his busy schedule with the popularity of Vintage Trouble and getting our Gretsch logo out there! Aside from national TV appearances, they were selected as one of the very first bands to launch a new music/artist campaign that Google is putting out called Google Music. They did a national TV campaign ad for Supercuts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUJsiVtTX8o. They will be doing the Best Buy media network for 3 weeks, which means they will have a 2 minute loop on the hour on every single TV in every Best Buy retail location in the country! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJk26T9_Lyw
Their U.S. album released 2 weeks ago and they are currently on tour with the Cranberries in the U.S. They will also be playing some festivals and headlining slots in the U.S., will be heading overseas to Europe in June for two sold-out headlining nights in London; and will be opening for Lenny Kravitz throughout Europe. If that's not enough, they will be heading to Japan after Europe for the Summer Sonic Festivals in Osaka and Tokyo then back to Australia!

The Catalina Maple series starts with the Gretsch maple formula shell. We carefully developed the maple shell specification to produce tones that explode with attack and volume and project a balanced amount of warm, low-end frequencies. All Catalina Maple shells are 7-ply, 7.2mm.
The Catalina Maples are available in two configurations - a 6-piece shell pack set and a 5-piece shell pack set. Add-on drums are also available to allow for further drum set expansion.
