080-40998370The Gretsch Renown Series is designed for one thing: to give working drummers the performance of a boutique kit at a road-ready price. This isn't just a standard 5-piece kit; we have custom-configured this RN2-E825 set with a matching 14x14" Floor Tom, creating a massive 6-piece "Double Down" setup.
At The Bangalore Drum Shop, we recommend this configuration for drummers who need the melodic range to cover everything from Fusion to Hard Rock.
The magic lies in the 7-ply Gretsch Formula Maple shells.
30-Degree Bearing Edges: Unlike the sharp 45-degree edges found on most modern drums, Gretsch uses a vintage-style 30-degree edge. This increases the surface area between the head and shell, producing a warmer, rounder, and more "woody" tone that engineers love.
Silver Sealer Interiors: Open a tom, and you'll see the famous silver paint. This proprietary sealer protects the wood and adds a focused "snap" to the sound, ensuring your drums project clearly through dense mixes.
The RN2 series features the "302" Double-Flanged Hoop.
The Best of Both Worlds: At 3mm thick, these hoops provide the focused attack and easy tuning of a Die-Cast hoop but with the open resonance and flexibility of a triple-flanged hoop.
Rimshots: They deliver a thick, cracking rimshot that feels solid under the stick, perfect for driving backbeats.
Why settle for one floor tom? This kit includes both a 14"x14" and a 16"x14" floor tom.
Melodic Flow: The transition from the 10" and 12" rack toms to the 14" and 16" floor toms allows for thunderous, cascading fills.
Versatility: Use the full 6-piece rig for rock shows, or strip it down to a 4-piece bop kit (12/14/22) for smaller jazz/funk gigs.
Snare Drum: 14" x 5.5" (10-Lug)
Rack Tom 1: 10" x 7"
Rack Tom 2: 12" x 8"
Floor Tom 1: 14" x 14"
Floor Tom 2: 16" x 14"
Bass Drum: 22" x 18"
Includes: Double Tom Holder for Bass Drum & Legs for both Floor Toms.
Vs. Gretsch Catalina Maple The Catalina is a great intermediate kit, but the Renown is a professional instrument. The Renown upgrades you to the Silver Sealer, 302 Hoops, and superior maple selection. If you are recording or touring, the Renown's hardware and consistent tone are worth the investment.
Vs. DW Design Series While DW offers a modern, "glassy" sound with 45-degree edges, the Gretsch Renown offers a "warmer, earthier" tone due to the 30-degree edges. If you prefer a sound with more body and vintage character (think classic Rock/Soul), Gretsch is the winner.
We are drum nerds, just like you.
Custom Configurations: We specifically source the matching 14" floor tom to create this 6-piece configuration, which is rarely available as a standard box set in India.
Inspection & Tuning: Every Renown kit is inspected for finish flaws and bearing edge integrity before it leaves our store.
Secure Shipping: We use reinforced pallet packaging for large shell packs to ensure your drums arrive in pristine condition, anywhere in India.
Does this kit come with cymbals and stands?
No, this is a Shell Pack. It includes the 6 drums and the tom mounting hardware (for the bass drum). You will need to purchase cymbal stands, a snare stand, a hi-hat stand, a kick pedal, and a throne separately.
What heads come on the kit?
The Renown ships with professional Remo Emperor Clear batter heads on the toms and a Powerstroke 3 on the bass drum. You get great sound right out of the box!
Is the finish a wrap or lacquer?
The Satin Tobacco Burst (STN) is a premium matte lacquer finish. It looks sophisticated and allows the shell to resonate more freely than a plastic wrap.
