The Gretsch Brooklyn series has its own sonic personality. Open, modern and innovative, but still with the warm punch that artists around the world know as “That Great Gretsch Sound”. The Brooklyn sound is like an old friend with new, fresh ideas.

Since the company was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1883, the history of Gretsch Drums has been inextricably linked to this district. So it's no wonder that a separate upper-class series was dedicated to him, which is only one of three handmade exclusively in the USA, more precisely in Ridgeland/South Carolina.

The six-ply shells made of maple and poplar are slightly thicker than those of the USA Custom and Broadcaster series, and have the Gretsch-typical 30° shell burr. On the inside you will find the distinctive Brooklyn label with an individual model and serial number on the classic “Gretsch Silver Sealer”. The standard, high-quality REMO heads are held by sturdy 302 steel hoops, which Gretsch modeled on the “stick chopper” hoops they used in the 50s.

With this innovative upper-class series you will undoubtedly find the classic sound of Gretsch drums, but with a very own, modern touch.
