The Gretsch Catalina Club Series blends traditional configurations and classic tone with sleek, contemporary hardware innovations. Catalina Club 4-piece configurations are built around the foundation of the beloved 14-inch deep bass drum that gives each of these setups a warm and punchy vintage tone.
Catalina Club’s hardware components give the series a distinctive “new Gretsch” flair that pays homage to the company's rich tradition, while infusing an exciting and progressive personality. From the round “gas cap” bass drum mount plate and Mini GTS mounting system to the reduced-mass tom mount brackets and Gretsch T-Wing screws and bolts, Catalina Club has an incredible drummer-friendly feel.
The classic Gretsch mahogany formula shells are still built with the same natural shell interior and 30-degree bearing edge that made them famous. Bass drums include telescopic spurs and matching wood bass drum hoops. Toms and snare drums feature 1.6mm triple flanged hoops and all Catalina Club drums are equipped with Remo® drum heads.
Gretsch Catalina Club has received world-wide acclaim as the perfect drum kit for drummers who need a smaller sized professional grade kit that simply looks and sounds fantastic. The J483 configuration features a 14x18” Bass Drum, 8x12” Rack Tom and 14x14” Floor Tom.
The 2025 upgraded low profile off-the-shell mounting GTS Tom Suspension System, delivering noticeably longer sustain and a more natural tone from the toms. The 2025 upgrade also includes the newly designed Full Range Throw Off and Butt Plate on all Catalina snare drums, ensuring improved and more reliable functionality.
Catalina Club is the smartest selection you’ll make when searching for a paired down kit used for tight spaced rehearsal rooms or if you’re carrying them around town from club to club.
