The Gretsch Drummer that really blew me away was Tony Williams drumming in the Album "Believe It" In the song "Fred" The speed of the hi hat work and the incredible fills, and fire of his playing, is still an inspiration to me after all these years. Any drummer who hasn't heard his amazing drumming on this album, I would highly recomend you give it a try. RIP Tony Williams.
I got my Gretsch USA Custom Kit through you guys and couldn’t be happier! The drums just SING. I’ve played the majority of drum brands out there and I always come back to That Great Gretsch Sound. I also own Brooklyn’s which are equally as beautiful in both sound and looks. Could not rave about the brand!
Gretsch Drums are amazing, always loving the Sweetwater videos featuring my favorite drum company!! 8 years ago, when I was looking to upgrade from my starter kit, Nick D'Virgilio's demo videos of the Catalina Maple sold me on that kit, and Gretsch as a whole. My dream kit would be a high end Gretsch, with a USA Custom as the ultimate goal, and this video may have confirmed that!!
I’m fortunate to own a USA Custom kit and a Yamaha Hybrid Maple kit. If I had to keep just one it’s gotta be the Gretsch. Both very versatile kits but that maple/gum and die cast hoop formula is just sonic magic.
Careful Nick, that's a blue sparkle Gretsch kit - and we all know that's supposedly someone else's 'signature' finish; and you won't like him when he's angry... 😉 Great playing, lovely kit too.
@sweetwater on the Snareweight just lift it up and let the magnet hold it up out of the way, then flip it back down when you need it. I’ve been using Snareweight since day 1!
Small request Can you get Sweetwater to separate the departments (create dedicated channels for each). I ask because many of us are only interested in a particular area, such as drums only for example. But in our feed, we’re getting EVERYTHING. 😖 It’s just too much to go through. Too overwhelming with products we’re not into. I’ll be happy to resubscribe if and when you folks can make some changes. Thanks 😊
I agree! Luckily the algorithm only suggests Sweetwater's drum videos to me, but unfortunately I don't want to subscribe because I don't want to see the other Sweetwater videos.
@@daltonidaho Yeah same here If you subscribe then every video they post comes into your subscription page and it’s annoying when you have a lot of subscriptions and you gotta scroll through so many to get to the other videos
Hopefully you do not need Gretsch Customer service. The number on their contact page has a recording to call the manufacturer. They have not replied to email I have sent. For what its worth, the Catalina Club I just bought is made in China. From everything I read I expected them to be made in Taiwan (possibly the DW factory).
