GRETSCH Drums thread

[musicianurse28]

sir ok lang po ba yung set na yun? ung 20" lang ung bass?

ano ba tugtugan mo sir? depende kasi sayo yan kung magugustuhan mo yung kabuuang tunog na mapo-produce mo. what i have is 22'' kasi hanap ko yung deep ''tudd'' sound talaga..

sabi nga ng marami dito, personal preference ang sound na lalabas sa drums. sir try reading some reviews about 20'' bass drum, hindi ko pa kasi nasusubukan yun personally so hindi ko masasagot ang tanong mo..pero dahil kilalang manufacturer  naman ang Gretsch, e malamang magandang quality rin ang mapoproduce ng 20'' bass drum nila..hope this helps

me,.. i'm a 20" bass drum user its almost same sounding compared to 22" its just a bit higher in tone and lessen volume

advantage is, more comfortable and easy to set up toms, specially who wants their toms almost parallel to their snares

what do you guys use to clean your cat maple shells?

Im reluctant to use anything other than soft towels to clean my cat here... I was thinking about pledge and the like...

Sir, nobody beats the soft towel cleaning. Yes some liquid formulas may help but still we're not pretty sure about its effect on the shells. Iba pa rin daw po talaga pag shells na ng kit yung pinaguusapan. Mas fragile sila kesa sa mga furnitures..hehe

+100
its much better to use "very soft" cloth ,others might create very fine scratches than can be seen only in reflection of the light

Thanks guys, so stick to my microfibers talaga ako hehehe

Mga masters matanong lang what Gretsch Snare would be great to use when playing? especially kung showband ka?

Gretsch Renown Maple will do.

[~Polyamorous~]

Gretsch Renown Maple will do.

Thank you po. Ano pa yung tunog ng Gretsch Renown Maple Sir? Kasi sabi ng kaibigan ko mas okey gamitin yung Gretsch Catalina Club. Ano po ba yung difference sa dalawa. Thanks

Depende pa rin yan sir sa pag tono niyo po eh. Isang factor din po yung diameter at depth ng Snare drum. Pati yung tension ng snare strands. Nasa tenga niyo po talaga ang sagot sa gusto niyo pong snare sound.

Wala rin pong binebentang Snare lang na Catalina Club, by set po siya binibili. And low end po yung Catalina Club sa Renown Maple. Renown Maples are high end na po next to Catalina Maple na mid-end. Renown Maples has some characters that are very reliable when you are in search for the quality.

pare I tell you, ang SARAP. pareho lami ng kit ni Sir Vhinming na Catalina Maple 20", ang pagkakatono ko sa kanya yung hindi masyadong "basa" medyo matigas ng konti pero nandun padin yung "tug!"...at mas portable sya sa byahe

Salamat po talaga Sir. Kasi hindi pa po ako talaga knowledgeable when choosing drum items such as, snares, yung kit at iba pa. Pero salamat sa info Sir.

Mga "Gretsch" drummers may tanong pinsan ko... Anong pinagkaiba ng "Catalina Maple" sa "New Catalina Maple" & "Catalina Ash" (Please, wag niyo sabihing mas bago yung "New Catalina Maple" kase may "New" sa name) As in sa sound, resonance & details, inalok ako ng pinsan ko bumile ng drum kit... Yun lang problem niya kase di pa siyai nakagamit ng Gretsch kit.

Ako ok na ko sa based sa mga comments sa Gretsch Thread...

Pero ang isa ko pang problema...

KANINONG BAHAY ILALAGAY!!!

New Catalina Maple;
-New set of Colors.
-New type of hardwares, particularly the bass drum hole mount for the tom holders and the tom holder itself.
-Shells are now 7 ply unlike the old model which is 6 plies only.
-Now selling it in 7, 6 or 5 pieces kit, unlike the old model which is 6 and 5 pieces only.

All these came from the Gretsch Drums website itself.

So... You'd prefer the "New Maple" than the "Old" and the "Ash"

[musicianurse28]

Nope! I'd still go for the "old".

Why?
-Cause it's the one I have and I worked hard for it
-It's my third and very first high end kit
-I love the finish of the Tobacco Fade Sunburst, and;
-It's my first love!

"New" Catalina Maples are cool but it's with the "Old" where my heart is

Isa pa sir, suggestion ni idol Vic Mercado saken yan eh way back 2009

Welcome to Gretsch Drums Thread sir karl713!

I suggest bumili ka na lang ng Gibraltar Basic Grabber Clamp..

http://www.drumsonsale.com/gibraltarscbgcbasicgrabberclamp-p-4172.html

In that way pwede mong i-clamp yung Tom Holders from the Bass Drum to the Cymbal Stand.

Goodluck!

ok yung suggestion ni kapatid na musicianurse28 bro karl713, pero as per experience ko kasi di nya kayang ihold yung bigat ng dalawang tom m bro, ganyan din gusto kong gawin, kaya bumili ako ng grabber clamp, but then di ko na tinuloy kasi yuyupiin lang nya yung stand ko.. isang tom siguro kaya pa nyang isupport pero pag dalawa na ang naka mount eh malabo na..

ang maisa-suggest ko bro, kung gusto mong i-mount yung toms mo sa cymbal stand eh bili ka ng separate na tom holder then tig isang grabber clamp..sad to say bro pero mapapa gastos ka pa ng konti..hehe

ah ganun po ba sir,salamat sa advice,ang gusto ko sana bumili na lang ng tom stand yung ganto http://www.drumsonsale.com/gibraltar-9813dp-foundation-tripod-w-dual-lrod-platform-and-mount-p-4472.html kaso medyo namamahalan ako. pag iipon ko na lang sya.hehe. salamat talaga sir.

[musicianurse28]

Sir karl713, I'm referring to 1 tom lang ha? Tama si sir plitipiw, di talaga kakayanin sa cymbal stand kung dalawang tom ang ilalagay mo. Isa pa lang mabigat na, pano pa kung dalawa?

May nakita ako yung isang tom naka-mount sa bass drum, tas yung isa naka-mount sa cymbal stand. Yun nga lang, hindi lang grabber ang bibilin mo ngayon, bibili ka na rin ng isa pang tom holder. Para naman yun din sa paglalagyan ng tom na ima-mount sa cymbal stand together with the grabber clamp.

Yes sir Gretsch Catalina Maple yung kit ko.
