Frequently Asked Questions
The STM allows the toms to vibrate more freely, resulting in a more resonant and less dampened tone, mimicking the feel of vintage Gretsch setups.
The shells are relatively neutral, but the included Remo heads are somewhat dampened; expect to spend time tuning to achieve your desired sound – a head upgrade is often recommended.
The Catalina series uses thinner maple and simpler hardware, lacking the premium bearing edges and hardware of the Renown, but still captures the Gretsch sonic character at a more accessible price point.
