All-Genre Performance

Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the Renown delivers the goods. It’s engineered for nuance and sensitivity, but it can also punch with authority when you dig in. From the subtle warmth of 1950s jazz to the powerful thud of 1980s rock, this kit does it all—without ever sounding out of place.

Built to Last, Built to Perform

The 7-ply maple construction provides a solid, responsive foundation for every drum. Paired with the 30-degree bearing edges, the kit maintains attack and presence while giving you a warmer, rounder tone that blends beautifully in a mix.

More Tone, Less Weight – The 302 Hoops

Gretsch’s 302 hoops give you the focused attack of die-cast hoops, but with enhanced resonance and sustain due to their lighter weight. These hoops let the shells breathe—unlocking a more open, expressive sound that still retains the Gretsch character drummers love.
