Introducing Renown Walnut, Gretsch’s new line designed for the experienced player who is looking for a differentiated kit that delivers deep, rich tones with clear attack. After Renown’s successful 2013 reintroduction, Gretsch wanted to make more sonic options available for more players. Renown Walnut, with its resonant low end and bright, smooth upper register, does just that.
“Our Renown Maple series has been a fantastic sounding and performing drum set for the past decade,” said John Palmer, Director of Product for Gretsch Drums. “With the addition of our new Renown Walnut series, we are expanding the Renown sound profile to give drummers a wider variety of sonic options. Renown Walnut’s premium walnut shells deliver explosive sounds around the drum set that have a super deep punch and lower fundamental pitch.”
Each Renown Walnut drum features 6-ply North American walnut shells (walnut/maple/walnut), with 30-degree bearing edges, and is available in Gloss Natural and Walnut/Black Fade with natural interior shell. Drums are finished with chrome hardware including die-cast tom and snare hoops, for a classic Gretsch look and feel.
The kit includes two tom clamps, non-drilled bass drum, hinged brackets and ultra-low profile tom suspension system. Toms come with Remo clear Emperors, batter side, and Gretsch by Remo clear Ambassadors resonant side. Bass drum batter-side, is shipped with Remo clear Powerstroke 3 and Gretsch coated white heads with muffle ring resonant side.
Two gorgeous finishes enhance the walnut’s intrinsic beauty: Gloss Natural and Walnut/Black Fade. Renown Walnut is available in two configurations:
• 18”x 22” bass drum, 7”x 10” mounted tom, 8”x 12” mounted tom, 14”x 16” floor tom
• 16”x 20” bass drum, 7”x 10” mounted tom, 8”x 12” mounted tom, 14”x 14” floor tom
Snare drums will be available separately.
