Gretsch Catalina maple drum set 6 pcs test
Here is the first Gretsch of the channel! A Catalina Maple, a six-piece semi-professional set. But let's see its features:
-A good 8 lugs on both floortom, sometimes on these if semi-pro they are limited to 6
-Maple shells with visible wine-colored wood grain, I'll call it Lambrusco lacquer!
5 lugs on the two toms, a bit unusual I would say. As a rule we always find 6 on other brands. To understand the reason for this choice, whether sound or to save hardware
Suspension system of the toms with through pins, it is practically a flange with two holes in which the two tie rods of the circle pass, then there is a pyramid rubber that rests on the shell. Great for resonance, annoying for drumhead changes
2mm triple flange rims
Perforated bass drum with 8 lugs with single tom holder that splits into two L-shaped joints with ball adjustment with a slightly old design in my opinion. Also impractical to find the most comfortable fit
Aluminum badge on a black background, nice.
Very large and solid floortom leg lug, pity about the lack of memories.
As far as the sound is concerned, both the G1 and the G2 are excellent, except for the 14 floortom which sounds a little muffled, closed. No problem handling floortom sustain despite the depth.
Bass drum with a nice full-bodied sound with the coated Emad, a little hollow instead with the PWS3.
Let's draw conclusions: excellent semipro set, very versatile given the abundant number of toms and timpani measures, based on your musical situation you can bring the pieces you need.
It's a Gretsch so while having a similar sound to its competitor Mapex Pro M, it's more popular and consequently more salable in the future.
