Key Features
The Gretsch Catalina Club 18'' Shell Pack With Snare, Bronze Sparkle is a compact four-piece kit suited to jazz, funk, and small-stage players. Its 7-ply mahogany shells produce a warm, rounded tone with clear low-end presence, making it easy to sit comfortably in smaller venues or studio settings. The 30-degree bearing edges help the heads respond smoothly, encouraging open resonance and controlled sustain.
This configuration includes a 12" x 8" rack tom, 14" x 14" floor tom, 18" x 14" bass drum, and a 14" x 5" snare. Gretsch heads made by Remo provide dependable tuning stability, while 1.6 mm steel hoops and chrome hardware keep everything sturdy and gig-ready. A single tom holder and bass drum riser are also included, helping position the compact bass drum for improved projection and comfortable playing.
Please Note: Hardware and cymbals NOT included.

The Catalina Club shell pack uses 7-ply mahogany shells, a classic choice for drummers who want warmth and depth from a compact setup. Mahogany naturally emphasises low-end frequencies, giving the kit a rounded character that works well in jazz, funk, and lighter pop settings. Even with the smaller 18" bass drum, the shells produce a full, controlled tone that remains clear at lower volumes. This makes the kit particularly useful for smaller stages, rehearsal rooms, and studio work where balance and musicality matter more than sheer volume.
Each drum features Gretsch’s 30° bearing edge design, helping the drumheads sit evenly across the shell. The result is a responsive playing feel with smooth head contact and consistent tuning. Drummers will notice an open resonance that allows the shell’s natural character to come through. It also means the kit responds well to lighter playing dynamics, which is especially useful for jazz and acoustic performances where control and subtlety are essential.
The 18" x 14" bass drum keeps the kit compact without sacrificing usability. Smaller bass drums are easier to transport, quicker to position on tighter stages, and well suited to low-volume environments. The included bass drum riser lifts the drum slightly so the beater strikes in the correct position on the head. This improves projection and ensures a more balanced tone, helping the smaller drum perform confidently in rehearsals, gigs, and recording sessions.
Durable components keep the Catalina Club ready for regular playing. The 1.6 mm steel hoops offer stable tuning and a consistent rim response, while chrome hardware provides dependable support across the kit. Gretsch heads made by Remo come fitted as standard, giving you a reliable starting point for tuning and tone straight out of the box. A single tom holder is included to mount the rack tom securely on the bass drum, keeping the setup tidy and straightforward.
