USACUS3-WATTS
Gretsch USA formula 6-ply maple shell is the cornerstone of "That Great Gretsch Sound." All shells are straight-sided, with hand cut and hand sanded 30-degree bearing edges and Gretsch Silver Sealer interior.
Gretsch die-cast hoops produce a full, focused tone that are easy to tune and stay in tune. Die-cast hoops have been included as standard on all toms and snare drums since the mid 1950s.
The Gretsch Tom Suspension System ("GTS") is non-invasive and suspends the drum shell to optimize maximum shell resonance and tone.
Padded die-cast claw hooks provide stable tuning and has classic Gretsch design. The claw hook includes cushioning pad that buffers metal to wood hoop contact and has classic Gretsch design.
Gretsch tom holders feature ball/socket design for flexibility and 12.7mm arms for strength.
Gretsch Permatone by Remo USA heads come standard on all Gretsch USA drums. Toms come standard with coated single-ply batter with clear single-ply resonant heads. Bass drums come standard with Powerstroke batter and coated single-ply resonant heads.
