Title: Dilemma on Gretsch Drums, Urgent Help
Post by: jods on December 03, 2006, 11:15:28 PM
Hi.
  I just sold my pearl forum series and I bought the gretsch ash series yestersday. Napa impulsive buying ata ako.. hehehe... anyway, heres my dilemma..

the unit will be delivered tomorrow and i was thinking if i should change my order and go for the gretsch maple series instead... worth it ba yun? would there be noticeable difference in terms of performance or quality wise??? 

additional 6 thou if i should go for the maples.... balak ko sana ipunin nalang para sa cymbals... urgent help!!

salamat ng marami:)
Title: Re: Dilemma on Gretsch Drums, Urgent Help
Post by: bangbus on December 03, 2006, 11:43:50 PM
if that 6k diff is still avail to you, i'd say go for maple. i could sense now palang you're experiencing purchase dissonance, which could turn into regret later on. instead of bearing with the 'what if' later on (what if binili ko yung maple? and other what ifs etc), get the better one of the 2 now pa lang.

most drummers are after maple, im not saying you should too but you see majority clamour for it is an indication of something rin naman.

now if you will ask me and if i were really in your situation, bangbus will go for catalina maple!

maybe you can put it this way (this is how i personally see it):

honda civic 1.8 plus may extra cash for bling bling 20inch mags = catalina ash
honda civic 2.0 sport&power complete! = catalina maple

dun na ako sa higher end of the spectrum and chaka ko na proproblemahin yung ibang kailangan, at least i have the better model to begin with.

pero its just me, you might have a different outlook. pero bukas na yan. you have to decide asap bago i-karga sa delivery van yan. otherwise, baka they wont take it back.

asd is good. if you are a beginning drummer you might not even be able to distinguish the difference in sound between ash and maple. the only noticeable diff between the two that will matter to you right now is the sizes. ash has an 8" tom while the maple has an extra 16" floor tom. its just a question of what you like : bigger or smaller toms?

If you can distinguish the difference,why not? Pero kung ako sa 'yo, the best cymbals muna ang iskorin ko.Isang crash,isang ride,pair of hats, at isang splash...samahan mo na din ng china!
Kahit yung snare at bass lang muna ang palitan mo ng skin. :wink:

wala atang kasamang free tom yung mga catalina birch so IMO no, its not worth it  :-D sound wise, yeah it kicks butt

catalina ash or catalina maple ang sulit both in sound and price point.

anong character ng birch compared to maple sa toms ?
Title: Re: Catalina Birch na kahoy
Post by: peeves24 on December 24, 2006, 07:31:38 PM
look at the section Maple, Birch and Lauan

http://www.drumdojo.com/tech/shelldesign.htm




but these are generalizations...

these descriptions will vary depending on what drumhead you will use, tuning and room you will be playing at so try not to be caught up with the wood stereotypes. even drummers wouldnt know the sound of maple and birch when you playback a recording

the only reason i posted this is because i currently have acrylic shells and slapped aquarian heads on them and heck if i even "hear" any acrylic on it. i wouldnt even know that its not a wood drum if i didnt have prior knowledge or see it being played

if it sounds good its good

Post by: sjon014 on May 11, 2007, 12:23:09 AM
Yan ba yung 7.1k sa JB? (6000 flat with discount hehe)

I have the exact snare. Sabi ng JB, maple daw. Pero I think it's only partly maple with an inner-ply of a different wood. Sobrang wala akong makitang information nito sa net. I think you're referring to the Gretsch Blackhawk na piccolo. (wala nang Nighthawk, methinks) I like it though. It's got plenty of volume, and minimal overtones even with the stock Evans Genera G1 batter. It's lacks a fat sound though, so I guess it's good for rock, punk, and the like. (Which is good since we play metal)

Good snare out of the box! I resorted to this since wala nang stock ang kahit anong JB ng Sonor Force 3005 snare (JB Cebu lang daw) and I kinda needed a snare on a budget.

Here are some pics of my snare in natural maple finish.

Post by: peeves24 on May 11, 2007, 08:12:36 AM
yup outerply lang ang maple for finishing reasons pero yung shell e yung ordinary plywood lang. but dont be discouraged, if it sounds great then its worth what you paid for  :-D
Title: Re: gretsch maple picolo
Post by: sjon014 on May 11, 2007, 09:07:46 AM
Haha, PLYWOOD? Sabi na eh, the inner ply woodgrain looked familiar. Oh well, I guess I got what I paid for. At least I'm satisfied. (Kase siguro di pa ako nakakatikim ng Jordison, Hakim, Supraphonic, Radio King, etc na snares kaya mababaw pa kaligayahan ko. For me, it was already a giant leap from my old fernando piccolo hehehe.)

Bros ok po ba yung Catalina Ash?

Medyo malaki na kasi dagdag if we'll go for the Maple and hinahabol namin yun sale package ng JB.

And about dun sa free tom niya which is a hanging tom daw, what can you say about this? Pag hanging ba literally ng nakahang lang yun tom? Hindi ba luluwag yun kapit nun pag tumagal-tagal ng napapalo at baka mahulog?

Help naman po and tips dyan!

Sorry noob lang po.

Salamat.

bro nasa 43k ata yun set ngayon. Comes with a Planet Z 4 pack nga lang. Kung ZBT nasa 50k na.

sayang, I'd go for the maple sana with ZBT kaya lang nasa 55k na. Di na ako aabot kung sakali.

What can you say about the set? And ok ba gamitin yun setup with the hanging tom? Di ba nakakailang. Sa pics kasi parang alangan yun pwesto nasa bandang taas na ng snare.

You we're at stage right diba? Kami sa left... It was the blue Nighthawk that was set up there. I think the drumkits came from JB mismo. Kaya nakaparada sa likod yung container van with the picture of Vic . Exile was the one who provided the sound system. Nagpahiram lang ng konting gamit yung PMX.  I believe the Gretsch kits that PMX has are all Renown kits (Natural Maple and Green Marine Pearl)... and a Vinnie Colaiuta Signature kit!!! (which can be seen used by Mark Escueta in their 'Bandila' video)

Nung Muziklaban 3 days before Myx Mo!, the two Gretsch Renown kits were set-up at the Marikina Sports Complex... Grabe... Nabugbog yung mga yun... The whole day binabakbak e...

Oo bro sa right ako! Iniintay nga kita sabi ni Allan 9pm pa daw kyo. Nighthawk ba yun? Kala ko Renown? Ganda ng kulay eh. Onga pala pare pinakita ni Zach yung Worldmax from MarvsQ pare ang ganda!! Hehehhe!! Ay OT Gretsch thread nga pala to! Hehehe



@Sir Eleven

The two are good kits pero if i were you, dagdag lang nang onti then go for Gretsch Catalina Ash or Pearl Exports.

Well as of gretsch Mas warm sound nya compared to Pearls IMHO. Kasi Gretsch's shells are thinner than Pearl's. Warmer mas easier to tune in small venue settings.
Title: Re: GRETSCH Drums thread
Post by: treb 821 on November 27, 2007, 02:33:31 PM
I agree with Sir Sandy, I got my Catalina Ash more than a month ago and it sounds pretty good, stock heads pa yun pero na re seat ko na.

Catalina Ash is still advantageous compared sa Pearl Export in terms of the wood since poplar/basswood lang yun Export while yung Ash is a higher quality wood and it is the emerging wood being used for musical instruments in North America, even the higher end kits of DDrums has started using the Ash wood for their shells.

@ sandy = thanks bro, kaya pala mas marami akong nababasa na magaganda na comments/reviews ng gretsch drums, at maganda din yung mga stands na kasama sa kit.

@ treb = salamat din bro for your advice.


ipon muna ako ng konti, tapos testing2x muna kung magugustuhan ko ang tunog ng gretsch drums.

salamat guys!

Post by: sandythedrummer on November 27, 2007, 11:24:34 PM
Eto lang advice ko sa mga bibile ng kit.

1. Consider the Brand. Trip mo ba yung Brand? Or nagustuhan mo lang kasi sha lang yung swak sa budget mo? Kasi actually you're buying the brand name. Your buying the quality and craftmanship. Will you buy a much cheaper no name brand over Catalina Maple? If so are you confident with your purchase? So choose the brand you like. It's like you're wearing a Michael Jordan Jersey over a Purok kwatro Jersey when playing basketball.

2. Consider your Budget. Study the Margin.Example a generic kit with brass cymbals costs 14k then a sonor 505 with brass cymbals 18k. Do you think the 4k margin is worth it? Kung malapit lang eh bakit hindi na lang yung Sonor kunin mo diba?

3. Your purchase should be for long term. Hindi ba dapat ganun?

Anu paba? :mrgreen:

the sound..... which i believe is most important... ;-)  (I can still hear the sound of my dream drums in my ears and keeps me awake at night wondering when I'll be able to justify buying it :-) )

as for clothes, i guess medyo weird ako kasi i always go for comfort than brand (at the risk of being baduy)... usually, sa akin, function over form... pero syepre, iba ang "comfort" sa drums :-)

one more thing to consider -- which is also very important -- after sales support for the product... yung tipong kapag nagkaproblema ka eh alam mong may mapupuntahan ka at matutulungan ka...

You're right bro but come to think of it, you can't have the full sound of the drum kung sa store mopa sha kukunin so what's possible is check the components 1st then read reviews about it.

Anyways watch out guys coz Sir Jecster might get a Gretsch Virign Bass Drums!! Saya nun!

medyo malaking pera din ang drums so talagang research.. aside from reading reviews, I try to search sa forums, read about other "real owner's " reviews, look for videos sa youtube (trying to analyze how it was recorded), watching other artists with the sets they have and use...

it would really be nice kung masusubukan ng prospective buyer ang drums.. sa US, you can try whatever you want to buy... kaya alam mo kaagad if that is the sound that you are looking for (of course, you'll need to consider the room acoustics where the set is placed and ung tuning). For me, napakaraming oras ang  binibigay ko in looking for the set/sound I want.. kaya eto, hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin talagang set kasi hindi ko pa nasusubukan / naririnig in person ung ibang sets na kinokonsider ko... hirap din kasi na pag nabili ko na ung set tapos biglang narinig ko ung isa na nasa listahan ko na hindi ko narinig, laking pagsisisi non :-)

ayos, virgin bass drum :-) I myself would like to have a virgin bass drum on the kit para at least kahit paano sigurado ako na walang pressure na na-aaply sa kanya that would cause an out of round drum shell :-)

Gretsch virgin bass drums, sana sooner than we expect!  Gretsch Drums is really proving their worth, I saw last Saturday the Myx Mo Concert on cable, Gretsch Kits nga ginamit, Catalina Birch and if I am not mistaken a Blackhawk EX, though I'm not sure, sabi ni Sir Dindin Nighthawk daw.  The point is more than 50 acts played that night and surely binakbakan nila yung dalawang kits, and it sounded really good!

You're right! Blackhawk brad! Grabe ilang taon na DW laging gamit sa mga malalaking events like that yun pala kaya na nang mga Midrange kits yung job!
Buhay na buhay yung mga kits brad! Yun kasi gamit ko sa isang Banda ko (Jaco Benin) when we played sa Eastwood last friday. Meron pang isang kit dun na YAMAHA kung san dun na pwesto yung set namin ni ACEL pero out of respect sa Sponsor(JB MUSIC) eh tinakpan ko yung Logo! Hehehehe.

Eto yung Gretsch na Kit kaso natakpan ako ng Guitarista
<a href=http://greatgenius10.multiply.com/photos/photo/79/37>DSCN2665.JPG</a>
Eto no bias ah. Pare Head to head, you'll never go wrong with Grestch. That's why i stick Gretsch brad. Our Studio Kit is a Maple Gretsch, My house kit is a Gretsch, Our churches are upgrading to Gretsch. May mga bars na nag upgrade to Gretsch. PMX Has Gretsch (Renowns and Colaiuta Sigs), 19 east has Colaiuta's kit and still counting. Parang premonition nung 90's where kahit san ka mag punta puro Pearl Exports makikita mo, but now halos puro Gretsch na makikita mo.

It was really impressive seeing the two gretsch kits being played, it just proves that Gretsch mid level kits can withstand pounding and still sound great.  Imagine the difference in price of the DW's which they used to play in this kind of events.  Gretsch lang pala katapat...hehehe!

OT virgin bass drum question:

bakit kailangan maging virgin yung bass drum kung bubutasan mo rin naman yung front head?

 :-D


para di naman OT masyado: i used a blackhawk sa gig last friday its surprisingly easy to tune at open sounding kahit stock heads. happy ako sa tunog. comment ko lang, masyado ata mahal dahil di naman kagandahan yung hardware na kasama but still impressive sound-wise

Pare! Tol mejo Mahal yung Blackhawk na made in Taiwan. Kung titingnan mo eh maganda yung Taiwanese made Gretsch. Kaya nga lumipat sila ng makers sa China to somehow lower the price. And the New Blackhawks doesn't have the 5600's Gibraltars anymore pero there are few upgrades. Naka GTS mounting na sha same as the Catalinas and Steel snare na Maganda IMO.

hehe.  123K (with snare, hardware, ZBT set) sya last check ko.  Mura kung i-compare sa SRP and sa price ng online shops like zzound and musiciansfriend.

Definitely sa atin eh konti lang makaka-afford nyan.  Pero panalo sa tunog.  Maririnig mo ang difference ng highend kit sa midrange.

Check this out: http://www.moderndrummer.com/rsrc/multimedia/productcloseups/Gretsch_New_Classic.mp3


Heto yugn Catalina Club Mod (which sounds close to the catalina maple) for comparison: http://www.moderndrummer.com/rsrc/multimedia/productcloseups/Gretsch_Catalina_Club_Mod.mp3

i'm planning of gettin a Renown or BP, but i can't decide.

I dont own a Gretsch Renown Snare, pero i tried it once sa JB. Ung sound nya is a bit tingy (parang masakit sa tenga ung resonance). I tried ung 10 lugs with maple shell 14 x 6. Overall im not impressed with it. considering the price? i think its not worth it. I'd still go for Pearl Floating if you have the budget. Pero cheaper would be sensitone nila. But my toms are Gretsch Blackhawk.

Of course that would depend kung anong sound quality ang type mo. Remember, as a drummer, the sound of you snare is one of your identities.

Title: Re: Catalina Ash and Catalina Maple
Post by: drumster on March 04, 2008, 12:23:52 AM
Well, the most significant difference is, the one has ash wood shells, and the other has maple wood shells.


Gretsch Catalina Maple --- http://www.gretschdrums.com/?fa=drums&sid=573

"The Gretsch Catalina Maple series has been designed for the player who is looking for quality features without the high price. With the warm tone of the thin maple shells, UV gloss finishes, and pro tom holders, the Catalina Maple offers the looks and features of a pro kit without breaking your bank."


Gretsch Catalina Ash --- http://www.gretschdrums.com/?fa=drums&sid=574

"The Gretsch Catalina Ash series has been designed with power in mind for the player who is looking full, penetrating tones and solid overall features. Ash wood produces a lively tone that projects a clear, cutting sound. The snare quickly reacts with an aggressive tone that bites with authority and the UV gloss finishes fully reveal the visually striking ash wood grain pattern throughout the drum set."

Mga Sir matanong lang saan dito ang mas maganda

Gretsch Catalina Maple o Catalina Birch?

anong nagkaiba sa kanila?

Kapag maple, warm and rounded yung sound niya.. kung baga buong-buo at mataba yung tunog; kapag birch naman, quick yung attack at projection, walang masyadong overtones or bleeding kung baga. GENERALLY, best suited for live ang maple while ang birch is best for recording; either way though is fine, nasa tenga at panlasa na ng drummer yun.. hope this helps out! cheers! :wink:
Title: Re: GRETSCH Drums thread
Post by: jckazs on August 20, 2010, 03:53:30 PM
Yung catalina birch mas ok yung drum hardware (tom holder, tom mounts, brackets -- just like the ones found on high end Gretsch kits) and drum heads. I believe Evans G1 coated yung sa snare and toms. I'm sure Evans pati yung sa bass drum, just not sure which model.
If I were to choose between the cat maple and birch, birch kukunin ko. I believe pareho na price ngayon (or hindi nalalayo), even minus the free tom, imo mas sulit pa din yung catalina birch. Sound wise, I'm sure that there is a noticeable difference. But both kits should sound great in their own right

Yan ba yung 7.1k sa JB? (6000 flat with discount hehe)

I have the exact snare. Sabi ng JB, maple daw. Pero I think it's only partly maple with an inner-ply of a different wood. Sobrang wala akong makitang information nito sa net. I think you're referring to the Gretsch Blackhawk na piccolo. (wala nang Nighthawk, methinks) I like it though. It's got plenty of volume, and minimal overtones even with the stock Evans Genera G1 batter. It's lacks a fat sound though, so I guess it's good for rock, punk, and the like. (Which is good since we play metal)

Good snare out of the box! I resorted to this since wala nang stock ang kahit anong JB ng Sonor Force 3005 snare (JB Cebu lang daw) and I kinda needed a snare on a budget.

Here are some pics of my snare in natural maple finish.

Nagtanong ako sa JB music sa SM North, wala daw sila eh.

Medyo hindi reliable yung staff sa SM North, lagi "wala" yung naririnig ko sagot jan e. Try mo magtanong sa Park Square branch, sila personally maghahnap para sau, tatawag pa yan sa warehouse o kaya sa iba branches para sau.

Catalina Maple! Trust me.. There are two types, one with the "free" 16''x16'' Floor Tom and the other has no free Floor Tom and has a smaller diameter of Bass Drum.

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

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 :-D

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

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.

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. :-)

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  :-D

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.

Meron 6 piece old Catalina Maple sir! Actually yun po ang meron ako. Tinanggal ko lang yung 12'' tom kasi mula nung nagsimula ang Bamboo nung 2002 in-adapt ko na yung style ni idol Vic na one mounted tom and two floor toms. Advantage pa yun saken kasi mas malapit yung Ride which is very beneficial :-)

AFAIK, ang made to order sa old Catalina Maple ay yung 8'' tom na add-on.

Isa pa pala sir, ang isa pang sinuggest ni idol naten yung Renown Maple. Either daw sa Catalina Maple at Renown Maple ang ginagamit niya. :-D

Sir di ko po kabisado line up ng Sonor eh. Pero maganda rin ang Sonor!

Sir ganito, isipin niyo na lang, wala sa brand yan, nasa pumapalo. Maganda nga ang kit tunog ewan naman yung pumapalo. Panget di ba. Mas ok pa nga yung panget ang kit pero mismo na ang pumapalo.

Advice ko lang sir, kung ano yung gusto niyong kit yun ang bilin niyo. Kung mahal ng konti, tiis muna at mag-ipon pa ng konti. Alam niyo kasi sir mas masarap gamitin ang kit kung yun talaga mismo ang gusto mong kit. Parang yun bang pangarap mong drumset. Maniwala ka sir, hindi mo titigilan ang kit mo.

Meron 6 piece old Catalina Maple sir! Actually yun po ang meron ako. Tinanggal ko lang yung 12'' tom kasi mula nung nagsimula ang Bamboo nung 2002 in-adapt ko na yung style ni idol Vic na one mounted tom and two floor toms. Advantage pa yun saken kasi mas malapit yung Ride which is very beneficial :-)

AFAIK, ang made to order sa old Catalina Maple ay yung 8'' tom na add-on.

Isa pa pala sir, ang isa pang sinuggest ni idol naten yung Renown Maple. Either daw sa Catalina Maple at Renown Maple ang ginagamit niya. :-D

Astig nga yung Renown Maple...
Di mounted sa bass drum yung toms... :-D

(http://www.gretschdrums.com/pics/itempics/RN_F604_800.jpg)

Ok din ang sounds ng Catalina Ash...

Pero parang mas trip ko (beefy) sounds ng Catalina Maple...

Anyway thanks sa info!!!

thanks po sir..

how do you compare it sir sa sonor force?
im planning to get one, pag nagkabudget po :D


Gretsch Catalina Ash at Sonor 2005 Full Birch yung sa akin, each has its unique strong points, yung Gretsch malutong ang sound kaya gusto ko yung mga toms, yung Sonor naman, deeper yung sound kaya maganda tunog ng bass drum!

Thanks.

I also have a Catalina Maple Snare and fortunately I still have no problem with it.. Can you post a picture of your broken lugs? Can I see it? So if ever, I would have an idea on what to do if I encountered this

Vinci and his www.thedrumshopmanila.com (http://www.thedrumshopmanila.com) might help you out.. He also sells spare parts for Gretsch kits.. :-)

I read from international forums, and apparently some local drums already know this, that gretsch lugs are week. In that case, should i still pursue claiming warranty from JB? Is there even a chance i'll get the lugs replaced?
Or, shoukd i just replace all the lugs and buy from the drum shop?
Still love my kit.

Try pursuing the warranty.. Still, its a "warranty" privilege.. Just make sure that the warranty is not yet expired.. Replace the lugs only if they didn't give you warranty..

Very good question newbie :-)

Yung mga Gretsch USA Custom, at Signature Set.. Gawa sa  U.S.

Yung mga Gretsch New Classic, Renown 57', Renown Purewood Wenge, Renown Maple, New Catalina Maple, Catalina Maple, Catalina Ash, Catalina Birch, Catalina Club Jazz, Catalina Club Rock, Blackhawk H3, at Blackhawk mga gawang Taiwan/China..

Binili ng KAMAN ang Gretsch Drums nung 2007 kaya kung mapapansin niyo may mga naka-label na Kaman sa mga hardwares at shells nila.. Bale KAMAN ang nagpataas ng market value ng Gretsch.. Magandang quality rin ang nagawa nito sa company :-)

Ngayon naman may share na rin ang Fender dito sa Gretsch Drums kaya pati Gretsch Guitars sila na rin gumagawa.. :-)

Personal review ko mga tol...

I just recently bought a Cat Maple... on the other hand, a friend of mine has a Cat ash... bago ako bumili, binisita ko yung ash nia at pinaglaruan ko ng matagal para naman may reference ako ng konti sa mga Cats...

Very different and sound at attack nila. Mas malakas ang attack ng Cat Maple. Not to mention mas mabigat pa ito kesa sa Ash... Using stock heads, mahirap itono ang Ash... even with finger tight tuning, mahirap kunin yung magandang "thuump" sound... Where as sa Cat maple, napaka dali...

Then, linabas namin yung kit sa terrace nila at dun ko pinalo... I was amazed kasi napaka ganda ng sound ng ash sa open area... tapos nakakaaliw pakantahin yung 8 and 10 toms... hindi pa ako nakontento, we place my coated emperors on the toms... Ayun na!!! very nice sounding and the attact was beautiful...

My conclusion, lahat ng catalina maganda ang sound in different aspect and terms... And based on my experience... malaking bagay ang heads sa Ash...

Paging Plipitiw, kasi may cat ash din yung student nia, tapos may Cat maple naman sya... pa-Post ka ng review mo tol... :-D


BTW, here is the cat ash kit of my friend...

IMO tama si bro glenn, mas madali kong nakuha yung gusto kong tono sa cat. maple compared sa ash at mas mabigat nga yung maple, ang pinaka nagustuhan ko sa ash eh yung 8" tom nya, sarap bayuhin, although di ko masyadon napaglaruan yung kit nung student ko since exited din at inuwi na agad after matono at assemble. di ko macompare yung bassdrum kasi magkaiba naman ang size, basta ako solb na solb na sa 20" bassdrum ng cat. maple ko..  :-D

Master Mokie.. I would suggest Evans G2 Clears on Toms or Evans EC2.. Ok na ok siya sa mga toms ng Catalina Maple :-)

Hindi lang basta ako ang nagsasabi o nakasubok nito.. Maski mga forumites din sa iba pang mga sites lalo na pag Gretsch ang topic talagang sinasabi nila na perfect heads itong Evans G2 and/or Evans EC2 sa mga toms..

By the way, humble opinion lang naman sir, mas ok po ata yung Clear heads kesa sa Coated kung aesthetics wise ang titignan sa finish na Tobacco Fade.. Pero sound wise, kayo pa rin po bahala kung Coated talaga ang gusto niyo o Clear.. They have different characteristics naman :-)

Meron nga pong sinasabi na, sa drums, meron tayong personal preference sound talaga.. Di tulad ng mga gitara, piano, baho, saxophone, at kung ano pa na kailangan talaga Perfect Pitch.. Sa drums meron po tayong "pwede na" kung tawagin.. Malayo po ito sa "bahala na", ito po ay "pwede na at masaya na ko sa tunog na naproduce nito" :-)

I tried using a Gretsch Catalina Maple with Evans Coated heads last week. It sounded a bit flat.
The clear single ply will let this baby sing :)

Sir I strongly believe na nasa nagtotono po yan.. Kung san ka happy sir! :-)

Meron nga pong sinasabi na, sa drums, meron tayong personal preference sound talaga.. Di tulad ng mga gitara, piano, baho, saxophone, at kung ano pa na kailangan talaga Perfect Pitch.. Sa drums meron po tayong "pwede na" kung tawagin.. Malayo po ito sa "bahala na", ito po ay "pwede na at masaya na ko sa tunog na naproduce nito" :-)

Single Ply or Double, either sir.. Talagang nasa tenga niyo po yan.. Puso't tenga ang magdidikta.. :wink:

very well said bro..

ako im still using the stock heads (wala pakong pambili kasi, hehehe). pero kuntento nako sa sound, gagaling kumanta nung mga rack toms..  :-D

master plitipiw, ok po talaga ang stock heads ng Catalina Maple :-) Talagang kumakanta po mga Rack toms sa Single Ply Stock Heads nito.. :-D Kaya sayang rin kung papalitan agad at di gagamitin.. Enjoyin muna bago palitan di ba? :lol:

NEW Catalina Maple = High cost than Catalina Maple but doesn't need to sell a Kidney for you to have one

Catalina Maple = Reasonable price

Catalina Ash = High quality yet affordable

You'll never go wrong with Gretsch Drums.. Another thing I like about Gretsch Drums is they're creating drums for the drummer who is looking for quality features without the high price.. Imagine having a semi-pro to pro design Drum set without selling one of your Kidney to have one.. This is just one of the reasons why I chose Gretsch Drums.. :-)

Tama have their own factory in china compared to Gretsch OEM lang.


Gretsch Catalina Maple Issues.

No.1 SHELLS. Inconsistent quality. When i bought mine 5 years ago. It took me 4 boxes to find a perfect set ofSHELLS
No.2 Check the 12in tom. Most of them are inconsistent in color. Palagay ko ibang kwarto ginagawa to kasi consistent from set to set.
No3. Drum hardware(Not the Gibraltar) Madaming bumigay mga lugs, tom arms, clamps loosen, and snare strainer.

 
that's 3 to name a few. Even JB can't deny that.

Sir, wala pong binebentang Catalina Maple Snare only. Renown Maple meron, pero Catalina wala. Unless 2nd hand na binebenta.. Maganda yun Catalina Maple snare equipped with Evans G1 coated or Evans Genera Dry sa batter.. Evans Hazy 300 naman sa reso.. Pero sir depende pa rin kasi talaga sa gagamit yan eh.. Sa pagtono niya at pagpili nya ng mga batter at reso heads.. Upgrade upgrade lang sir, kahit sa hoops.. Baka mahanap niyo hinahanap niyong snare sound :-)

i stopped using the snare of the Catalina two months after i bought the set way back in 2007. i find the snare of the catalina maple to be the weakest among the pieces of the kit. wala halos snare bed (or wala nga ata) kaya ang hirap i-tono ng maayos. the sympathetic vibrations of the wires were also more of a problem compared to different snare drums. normal lang magkaron ng snare buzz, pero mas malala ng konti yung sa gretsch. the sound was still too thin for my own taste as well kahit pa napalitan ko na yung stock batter and reso drumheads and after trying various tunings. bagong snare drum ang isa sa mga una kong binili noon dahil di ko talaga magustuhan yung tunog nung snare ng catalina.

these are just my opinions, though. as always, different strokes for different folks pagdating sa tunog. durability-wise naman, nasa pag-aalaga mo na yan. :)

same with may catalina snare, what i did is, bumili ako ng bagong reso head(single ply, 7mil yata yun, basta hindi sya yung kadalasan na manipis na snare reso head) and new snare wires(Giblartar), i tuned the reso head lower than the batter head( parang nasa C or B yung batter at around A yung reso) before putting the new snare wires, and that killed the irritating buzz. kapag masyadong thin, or ma buzz na ang tunog ng snare drums, icheck mo muna si snare wires kung may loose na wire, yun ang indicator na kailangan mo na syang palitan.

Tama have their own factory in china compared to Gretsch OEM lang.


Gretsch Catalina Maple Issues.

No.1 SHELLS. Inconsistent quality. When i bought mine 5 years ago. It took me 4 boxes to find a perfect set ofSHELLS
No.2 Check the 12in tom. Most of them are inconsistent in color. Palagay ko ibang kwarto ginagawa to kasi consistent from set to set.
No3. Drum hardware(Not the Gibraltar) Madaming bumigay mga lugs, tom arms, clamps loosen, and snare strainer.

 
that's 3 to name a few. Even JB can't deny that.

No. 3 is true, yung tom arms ng mid toms ko ay ngcrack, so steady lng cia hndi ko na ginagalaw baka lalong lumala, ewan ko kung naexperience din to ng mga gretsch catalina maple peeps, yung snare nya parang may "PONG sound" ewan hehehe, di ko alam tawag dun pero stock heads pa naman ang gamit ko. I'll take pics of crack tom arms need ko din kasi malaman kung san makakabili ng ganun just incase na bumigay na talaga ng todo. Overall okey ang gretsch catalina pieces, Actually hindi ko to sinasabi dahil eto ang gamit ko, I got band instrument rentals at yung mga drummer na gumagmit nyan mismo ngsabi na ang ganda ng tunog nung set kahit stock head lang ang gamit ko at syempre naka-muffle.

Here is some pics of crack mid tom holder, actually d ako nakasira nito ung 1st owner, Not a big issue naman sakin Hehe, just incase lang san nakakabili ng ganito? Sa JB music pa din ba? And magkano kaya?

Good morning po mga sir. Maitanong ko lang, may fake ba or imitation ang Gretsch drums? Yung badge kasi ng Catalina Maple ko may "Made in China". 2nd hand kasi bili ko nito. Yung sa JB kasi, sticker lang naka lagay na "Made in China"

Di po sir. Pero sa JB daw galing yung kit sabi ng may ari. 21k kasi rush daw. Pero yun nga po, nag tanong ako sa inyo kung meron ba peke kasi mura lang at may Made in China kasi mismo sa badge nya.

matagal na din si aquiles priester with mapex. If i may say, he has a set that could rival MP's monster! (trivia: MP used to be with mapex too!) :mrgreen:

^wait, is he still with Mapex? then ano ginagawa nya sa Gretsch nung NAMM? :?

Hindi kaya si Achilles may ari neto? Found it on PearlForum... A pic of a Gretsch Custom in NAMM 2012 I think, kasi yun nakalagay sa label ng ngpost...

May resemblance kasi yung pagkamount ng china at crashes sa kit nia with the mapex eh... so as the mounting of the 8 toms...

okay din yun. okay yung toms and snare kapag nai-tune ng mabuti at na-upgrade yung heads kahit kaunti.  :-D
sayang nga lang at Planet Z3 ang kasama sa package, hindi pa ginawang ZBT.  :cry:

for me, yes, malaki ang diperensya nun sa fernando kit kasi gretsch yan. kahit na mumurahin pa, gretsch parin yan. pero ang drumset naman kahit mumurahin nagiging maganda kapag nai-uupgrade katulad ng sabi ko. upgrades on drumheads, cymbals, tuning. kailangan lang talaga is budget  :-D
Title: Re: GRETSCH Drums thread
Post by: ghoulstats on May 10, 2012, 08:24:16 PM
thnx bro. hmmm so you would recommend the gretsch renegade? ano pa ibang drumset na range 20k-30k ang maka tapat sa gretsch renegade?

para sa akin yes okay na yan. pwede mo rin kunin yung opinion ng iba. mara mi din namang ibang drumset na ang price range ay nasa 20-30k din. may nakita pa nga akong pearl forum na 24k hindi ko lang maalala kung saang JB branch. or mas maganda kung hintayin mo yung JB Handog Sale. im planning to buy new gear sana pero hihintayin ko muna yun. (OCTOBER yun i guess) malaki yung sale na bibigay. sayang din yung malaking diskwento. try to visit other music stores sir. maraming mura dyan. kailangan lang talaga is tiyaga sa paghanap at pagpili.

pero its up to you sir. kung tutuusin cymbal upgrade nalang yan okay na. worth naman yung price para sa isang branded na kit  :-D

Mas okay Gretsch drums ngayon. I have my old Catalina Maple. 2009 model. I like it, but what's out nowadays is way more sexier and sturdier.

Thanks! Sale kc sa JB. Don't know if I would recommend the Catalinas over the Vision Artisan to someone who wants to buy a kit. I've heard horror stories about those old Catalinas.

pearl and grestch are okay. The recent horror stories now are from sonor, the series with shallow toms like tamas hyperdrive. It has explosive lugs. :razz:

Thanks again. Lately, I heard JB had let go of Sonor. Masyado daw malaki yung required purchase to maintain the exclusive distributorship. E baka kinain na rin ng Pearl ang sales ng Sonor. So di na mai-push yung required quantity.
